What shoes are going to be a hit in spring 2023? Padded shoes and sculptural heels are two of the key trends that will make a big impact this season.
Spring changes the blood and with the arrival of the most colourful season of the year comes a new wave of trends that will dominate this season. Designers have already dictated what will be worn for the spring-summer season and after taking a look at the women’s fashion trends, it’s the turn of the shoes.
With a lot of glitter, classic silhouettes or the most original new proposals, the shoes for 2023 are full of surprises and here we tell you all about them! We review all the shoe trends for spring 2023.
1-Cushioned footwear
The puffy trend is on the rise. We already saw that volume and quilting was very present in bag trends, and shoes are no exception. We love everything soft and flabby, will you join this trend?

2-Ballet core with the dancers
Ballerinas made their big comeback last year, and for this spring they’ve been revamped. Instead of a traditional manoletina, these shoes simulate ballet flats, with a less rigid structure and a rubber sole that allows them to adapt to your foot to perfection.

3-Leave the foot visible;
If you’re not a big fan of colours and want a shoe that goes with absolutely everything, you’re in luck. The transparent shoe trend, as if it were a glass slipper, is here to stay. We’ve seen it in platform shoes, ballet pumps and heels.

4-Tread hard
The chunky boots and track soles have been flooding the catwalks for several seasons in a row. To the surprise of few, we will continue to see them in spring, and not only in ankle boots, but also in sandals, which are more suitable for high temperatures.

5-Originality with sculptural heels
Shoes have the power to elevate any look, and with one of these shoes you’re sure to achieve it. The avant-garde of these sandals and boots lies in their heel heels, each one more original. They come in rounded shapes like those of Cries Van Notren or Off-White, or simulating a wooden trunk like those of Balmain.

6-Classic kitten heels
A symbol of elegance and class, the Emporal kitten heels will become your best ally if you want to be comfortable and sophisticated at the same time. With a triangular toe and a small heel, these shoes are ideal for the spring season.

7-Cricket and rhinestones
Whether you want to add them to a glittering total look or combine them with a more sober outfit, shoes with rhinestones and glitter are a must in your wardrobe. The favourite colours are gold and silver, but there are also other options such as the Chanel sock sandal.
