I have a bit of a shoe problem. Some people like bags. For others, it’s jewelry. I’ve always found shoes to be my greatest weakness—a category I’ll always invest in, even when my bank account insists I resist the urge. Because of this, err, affliction, I pay extra close attention when new shoe styles come out, and this fall, there’s an almost painful number of It shoes to shop, with tempting options by Chanel, Prada, The Row, and more all currently calling my name. Where are the noise-canceling headphones when I need them?
Sometimes, sharing my findings helps to ease the pull to shop, which is why I decided to spill the beans about the most talked-about fall shoes within fashion circles. Herbert Levine’s aquamarine-colored satin mules? Everyone wants a pair. Tory Burch’s beaded kitten heels? If you haven’t bought yours yet, good luck. Saint Laurent’s hunter-green knee-high boots? I’m drooling. Suffice to say, there’s no shortage of It shoes to add to your collection (and mine) this fall. I’d know; I’ve already tried most (if not all) of them on at least once.
