Shoe Trends Are My Obsession – 16 Pairs I’m Adding to My Fantasy Autumn Wardrobe
Image by: schuh
You'll find the most versatile and stylish trending autumn shoes at schuh right now
Shoes. They might be the last thing you throw on before dashing out the door but that in no way makes them an afterthought - particularly at this time of year. No, my friends, footwear is the pièce de résistance of any cold-weather look. The power they wield is immense. The right pair can elevate even the simplest outfit (yes, even your well-worn jeans and a jumper) into something that feels considered, maybe even a little fancy.
While I’ll be sticking to trusted footwear favourites from seasons past, like my black leather boots, I just can’t help but gravitate towards the latest trends too. It's easy enough to add hyped up colour into your clobber or invest in an influencer-approved coat, but staying in tune with trending footwear feels like the ultimate way to say, “I'm in the know.” We all know a good shoe is a dealbreaker when it comes to autumn outfits, but when the mercury dips, practicality becomes just as important as style. The great news? This season’s shoe trends serve up plenty of options that tick both boxes. From robust boots designed to laugh in the face of frostbite, to statement loafers that quietly demand attention, autumn has something for every mood.
Whether you prefer classic designs that stand the test of time, or you’re on the hunt for something a little more right now (hello, loafers), schuh has one of the best shoe line-ups for autumn.
Even though these styles are 'in', I'm finding myself particularly drawn to luxe brands which I can rely on to be hardwearing and timeless. Timberland boots, for example, remain undefeated. Their rugged appeal and cold-weather credentials mean they’ll never go out of style. As for my newfound love for Birkenstock clogs? They’re not just a summer fling – I’ll be shuffling all the way through to spring with them too. And of course, a classic Dr Martens is designed to literally last a lifetime.
Below, I've rounded up 14 new season shoes I’m already mentally styling my autumn outfits around.

The fabric and colour of the season combine in these brown suede beauties. Add to that the genuine love for all things western come autumn time and you really have a standout boot on your hands.

Don't forget to use your suede protector spray before you step out!

Timberland Stone Street 7 Eye Platform Boots in Burgundy

I've been wearing Timberland since I was a kid which shows their longevity. But these have a distinctly grown up feel thanks to the extra chunky heel and sole. I'm loving these as a more feminine take on the hiking boot look.
