Instagram is typically a place where fashion people showcase their most "extra" pieces and looks in order to stand out in a follower's feed (no small feat), but lately that hasn't been the case as far as footwear is concerned. We couldn't help but notice that many of the shoe trends that are currently trending on Instagram are, well, kind of boring.
This isn't to say that the aforementioned extra shoe trends aren't still a thing (here's some proof), but it is to say that we need basic shoe styles in our closets just like we need clothing basics like jeans, blazers, and tees. If you think about it, the basic shoes you own are the most versatile, and, therefore, it's imperative to remember to buy them. Whether it's flats, heels, boots, or sneakers you're seeking, we strongly advise paying attention to the five trending styles below. They may not end up being the most exciting shoes in your closet, but they could end up being the the ones you wear the most this season.

Basic Pumps
