Prediction: These Will Be the It Designer Shoes of 2019

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).
Next up, the new wave of It shoe brands.
