1. Solid sole

If the current trend of wedges is not to the taste of many people (such shoes, despite their popularity and demand, seem unmodern), then sneakers on a platform or a massive sole are a universal trend. An extra few centimeters visually elongates the leg. It also helps to more intelligently distribute the proportions and emphasizes the contrast between a solid shoe and a thin ankle.

2. “Ugly snickers” and unusual soles

“Ugly sneakers” haven’t lost their popularity for the last five years. Massive sole with tractor tread, an abundance of inserts and decorative elements, references to the fashion of the noughties – all this makes such shoes one of the most desirable among fans of street style.

Another explanation for the popularity of ugly snickers is the color-blocking trend. This is a combination of several bright colors in a closet item or a whole bow. This trend is especially noticeable in the fashion shows of the FW 2023-2024 season. In addition, the combination of all kinds of shades in a pair allows you to fit sneakers in a variety of images.

3. Rhinestones and metallic effects

In 2023, colorful décor is on trend. Whether it’s rhinestones, sequins, crystals or simply metallized materials. Such shoes will definitely look modern and stylish. And bright sneakers themselves act as an accent detail of the image. Therefore, you can combine them with calm looks. For example, with jeans and a white oversize T-shirt. Finality of the image will give the appropriate accessories: bag and jewelry.

4. Retro and vintage

Paradoxically, at the same time with the trend for massive soles there is also the opposite. It’s about flat-soled shoes, referring to the aesthetics of 1960s and 1970s sneakers. Models of elongated shape on a flat rubberized sole with bright inserts on the sides will easily become a substitute for another fashionable shoe – ballet flats. They look great with a maxi dress or palazzo pants.

5. Classic colors and shapes

It’s hard to call this a full-fledged trend. Why? Such shoes do not lose their popularity for the past year. However, in the shows of the season autumn-2023 sneakers of a classic silhouette in white, black and beige are especially common.

This fact confirms that such shoes are an element of the basic closet, which can be integrated even into strict outfits. Classic shades are the most universal, and beige tones look best in combination with blue or blue denim, which this year beats all trends in popularity.

6. “Dad’s Sneakers

On the one hand, they can be called a kind of “ugly snickers”. On the other hand – dad’s shoes or “dad’s sneakers”. What’s the difference? They are distinguished by two notable details: the use of gray or silver color. Plus references to the fashionable solutions of the 90s.

Futuristic, rough silhouette and tractor tread give this shoe relevance. Sporty aesthetics allows you to create sport-chic looks with them. And, despite the presence of the word “daddy’s” in the name, such shoes will look appropriate in both men’s and women’s closet.

7. Leather and suede

Materials with unusual texture are in trend today. In this case, suede or leather sneakers perfectly fit into it. Shoes made of such austere materials with a touch of classics will be the perfect complement for both casual urban looks and office looks. Due to the contrasting textures of the upper and sole material, such pairs will be in line with another trend – the use of retro aesthetics.

Specifics of fall models

Autumn is a rather capricious season in terms of weather. The sun can be abruptly replaced by clouds and downpour. Because of this, not all models can be called equally appropriate. Therefore, it is important to know which shoes are suitable for this season, and which should be abandoned.

For rainy days, it is best to choose shoes made of natural and eco-leather, water-repellent textiles and synthetic materials. Why? They do not allow water to pass through and dry faster. Models made of soaking fabric and suede are better left for sunny warm days.

To feel more confident and not afraid of rain, you can pay attention to models with Gore-Tex membrane. This is a material that, due to its special texture, allows air and water vapor to pass through (so your feet won’t sweat), but doesn’t allow liquid to pass through, so your feet stay dry. This is important in the cold season. But here we will talk about functional models – for tourism, etc.

In addition, do not forget about choosing the right sole. Sneakers on a high massive platform is not afraid of even deep puddles. Models with rubberized tractor tread will feel comfortable in the first ice. In the trend – dense inserts in the heel and toe area, elevated edge, multi-layered sole.

How to care for shoes in the fall period?

The most ordinary model can also be protected from contact with water. How? With the help of special moisture-repellent impregnations. They create a hydrophobic layer on the surface, which does not allow the liquid to contact the material of the top.

For full protection sneakers should be treated once every one or two weeks, at least 12 hours before going outdoors. To preserve the presentable appearance of leather and suede shoes, there are special creams based on wax.

Also after a walk, do not forget to treat the shoes with special wipes. In this case, sneakers will be less likely to submit to dry cleaning. Leather and eco-leather shoes should be washed with warm, but not hot water. There is a risk that too high a temperature will damage the glue layer and cause cracks.

Sneakers made of suede or nubuck should be cleaned with special foams and brushes with soft bristles. And in no case do not dry shoes on the radiator. Heat in this case is distributed unevenly, provoking creases and tears.

It is better to use special infrared dryers. They also have an antibacterial effect. Or you can simply leave the shoes at room temperature.

Differences between fall sneakers and summer sneakers

“In the new season, two iconic models are becoming even more popular: adidas Gazelle and something similar to them ultra-trendy Veja. But there’s another favorite for the season, the New Balance 530. A huge number of brands from mass-market to luxury offer their interpretations on the theme of these iconic models. In addition to the style, we should pay attention to other equally important aspects of shoes for the fall season.”

Texture

The fall models will be more diverse in texture. Leather and textiles will be complemented by fur and suede inserts, as well as nubuck (fine leather) and metallized surfaces. Thanks to the mix of styles such sneakers look relevant and appropriate in the images of the new season.

Such sneakers are made of materials that are resistant to moisture, keep warm from the inside, easy to clean. An important factor – today this shoe has a beautiful and fashionable design. You should not worry that you will look out of trend.

Insulated Sneakers

Sneakers without insulation are fine for early fall. But as the temperature drops, fans of sports shoes should choose pairs with additional material. In terms of functionality, it is recommended to pay attention to insulated options with baize, fur, sheepskin or wool. Almost all brands make such models. In them you will feel comfortable even in the Moscow winter.

Size

Despite the fact that technology allows you to provide comfort, it is important to remember about one moment. The presence of insulation affects the size of shoes. Choose models with a reserve, since the inner space in them is denser. Also in the store it is better to measure on a thick sock. Remember that your comfort in wear is above all.

Trendy colors and prints

Many people mistakenly believe that in bad weather, when it rains and mud, you should wear only dark shoes. Today, materials are resistant to external influences. There are also special cosmetic products for protection. Therefore, boldly choose your favorite colors.

Especially relevant this fall will be inserts with an animalistic print and options in deeper, saturated shades. For example, orange, lemon-yellow, pink, salad-green, purple. Do not pass by gray, blue, gray-blue, brown tones. Pay attention to models with decorative reflective elements.

Now many brands make really high-quality shoes. Choosing an iconic model from the original brand, you can be sure of the quality and that it is tested by a huge number of buyers. You should not give up sneakers in the fall weather. Modern technology and designers’ ideas help to create models in which it will be comfortable at any time of the year.
