While some people look forward to spring for the first signs of post-winter warmth, I look forward to the shoes. My feet are ready to breathe, and just in time, every retailer with a shoe section is churning out the new arrivals at lightning speed. Among them are 2026 shoe trends such as wedge-heel thong sandals, satin sneakers, elegant slides, and plenty of ’90s-inspired pairs to add to your collection.

If I do say so myself, I have an eye for good shoes, so I took it upon myself to round up the best flats, heels, sandals, and sneakers of spring 2026 (so far). The time to start your shoe shopping is now, before all the sizes start to dwindle—and trust me, they will. So before that happens, keep scrolling to shop the 31 spring shoes I think will sell out first. Don’t blame me if they do before you get to them.
