Prediction: These Will Be the It Designer Shoes of 2019

by Allyson Payer

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).

Jimmy Choo Lavish 100 Glittered Tulle and Suede Pumps

These Lavish (literally) pumps are quickly selling out.

Rejina Pyo Zoe Perspex and Leather Sandals

These have so many gloriously trendy elements going for them.

Prada Trek Sandals

As soon as the weather allows it, this on-trend style will be on many fashion girls' feet.

Alexander Wang Alix Mesh and Suede Slingback Pumps

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

Gucci Leather Pumps

Gucci Leather Pumps ($795)

What we find refreshing about this new retro-inspired Gucci style is that it looks different from everything else on the market right now.

Balenciaga Track Low-Top Trainers

Balenciaga Track Low-Top Trainers ($895)

Another year, another Balenciaga It sneaker.

The Row Teatime Leather Mules

The Row Teatime Leather Mules ($990)

Add these to the growing list of minimal, '90s-inspired hits from The Row.

Boyy Milanese Mesh Ankle Boots

This Scandi It brand's shoes (and bags) keep getting better.

Jacquemus Les Mules Bellagio

Prepare to see this in many vacation Instagrams this summer.

René Caovilla Elizana Sandals

Pearls are trending, and these shoes are heart-stopping.

Loewe Gate Sandals

These are inspired by Loewe's signature (wildly popular) saddle bag.

Chloé Lauren Scalloped Snake-Effect Leather Mules

Snakeskin will definitely be cool until 2020 and beyond.

By Far has proven itself to be a very reliable source of It shoes.

Gucci Mid-Heel Pumps With Crystal G Heel

Gucci Mid-Heel Pumps With Crystal G Heel ($1980)

Despite the price, these beauties are flying out of stock.

Neous Eriopsis Leather and PVC Mules

Neous Eriopsis Leather and PVC Mules ($655)

The PVC trend shows no signs of fading, and neither does this It brand.

Attico Betta Snakeskin Print Metallic-Leather Boots

Attico Betta Snakeskin Print Metallic-Leather Boots ($1570)

These are ridiculously extra, and that's why we love them.

These even say 2019 on them. How's that for an It shoe?

Off-White Zip Tie Leather Slippers

It doesn't get more of-the-moment than Off-White and neon.
