We may not be that far into 2019, but the fashion world thinks very far ahead, in case you haven't noticed. Pre-fall collections are already hitting the shelves, and designers are debuting their F/W collections across the world this month. So as you'd imagine, there are already plenty of new spring and summer shoes on the market, despite the current wintry conditions outside (and the combat boots on everyone's feet, subsequently). In our opinion, there's no better time to talk about the best designer shoes of 2019 (so far).
We scoured the stock of Prada, Gucci, Balenciaga, Jimmy Choo, and many more in search of the shoes that are special enough to achieve cult status. Keep scrolling to shop them all before everyone else inevitably does (or just to see a lot of sartorial eye candy, which is also very enjoyable).
These Lavish (literally) pumps are quickly selling out.
These have so many gloriously trendy elements going for them.

These were inspired by lingerie, and we're here for it.

This Scandi It brand's shoes (and bags) keep getting better.
Prepare to see this in many vacation Instagrams this summer.
Pearls are trending, and these shoes are heart-stopping.
These are inspired by Loewe's signature (wildly popular) saddle bag.
Snakeskin will definitely be cool until 2020 and beyond.
By Far has proven itself to be a very reliable source of It shoes.
Despite the price, these beauties are flying out of stock.
The PVC trend shows no signs of fading, and neither does this It brand.
How great is this fresh take on a classic?
These are ridiculously extra, and that's why we love them.
These even say 2019 on them. How's that for an It shoe?
It doesn't get more of-the-moment than Off-White and neon.
