Find your footing: Top winter footwear trends 2022

With colder weather closing in, it's time to start looking at this year's winter footwear trends. Considering the promising predictions from F/W runway's earlier this year, and the move to comfy shoe trends in recent months, it seems that there's something for everyone this season.

Whether you're looking for the perfect heel for that Christmas party, or some comfy boots to run errands in, this article is sure to provide you with some suggestions!

Party-ready Platform Pumps

We've all seen the iconic Versace Medusa Platforms, and their Patent-leather sisters from Valentin, both of which have taken over the runway this year.

Platforms have made a major come-back in 2022 - and they don't show any signs of disappearing any time soon. Comfort is the small price to pay for these killer (literally) heels.

Though, sadly, these high-fashion versions of the perfect party-pump are not suitable for those on a budget. Here's some alternative suggestions that will keep you looking just as good (and probably give you just as many blisters).

The Perfect Black Boot

An essential for every winter wardrobe, the perfect black boot is a timeless classic, serving its purpose as a practical and chic addition to every wardrobe.

2022 has seen the modernisation of the black boots classic silhouette, in the popularisation of Givenchy's Shark Lock boots. But the forever glamorous, classic knee-high platforms also remain an equally trendy shoe choice this winter.

Here's a few options to consider if you're looking for a fresh pair: whatever the budget.

Slipper-like Streetwear

We have the 2022 trend cycle, and partially Bella Hadid, to thank for the return of comfy footwear. After the return of Uggs earlier this autumn, and Miu Miu's S/S runway, a focus on slipper-like shoes, such as Birkenstock Boston clogs and ballet pumps, can't be ignored.

Here are a few high-street brand favourites.
