Nostalgia is big in fashion and shoes are no exception. Spring 2025 brings a strong return of 90s and early 2000s-inspired footwear. Think chunky sneakers, slip-on sandals, and platform flip-flops. These retro styles are making a stylish comeback with a modern twist, offering a playful yet comfortable option for spring. Whether you’re revisiting the iconic styles of the past or embracing them for the first time, there’s no denying that 90s and 2000s shoes are having their moment.
The ‘90s brought us the white sneaker and it is back in a big way in 2025. Athleisure isn’t just for workout gear—it’s an everyday, every occasion staple. We are seeing a wave of sporty chic shoes that seamlessly blend athletic influences with street-style aesthetics. We like that these hybrid dress/athleisure shoes allow your feet to be comfortable all day without sacrificing style. Look for color-blocked sneakers, slip-on slides, and sporty sandals that offer comfort without sacrificing style.
The 2000’s brought us strappy sandals and we are seeing this influence in Spring 2025 but this time they come with a twist. Expect to see intricate strap designs, mixed materials, and unique fastening details that elevate the classic style. Whether it’s a flat sandal for day-to-day wear or a high-heeled version for dressier occasions, strappy sandals will add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any outfit. The great news is: the 2000s kept their thin uncomfortable heels and 2025 traded up to much more comfortable and stable block heels!
