11 Basic H&M Shoes That Look Expensive But Aren’t

last updated 21 January 2023

Chances are you already know that H&M has some of the most affordable footwear of any fast-fashion retailer. And it's always delivering something new and unexpected. Today, it's the trendy strappy platform sandals in bright blue and green. Tomorrow? Well, let's just say we hope to see the following Y2K-era-reminiscent platform heels in several more hues.

Notably, H&M's latest shoe selection looks quite expensive given its affordable price. Other than boots and the brand's genuine-leather premium offerings, we've seen many of the latest kicks retailing for $50 or less—a steal compared to their luxury counterparts.

With spring just around the corner, we've pulled several styles of vibrantly colored H&M shoes that are as chic as they are cheap (sorry, had to) in an array of vibrant colors. Keep scrolling to shop the 11 brightly colored shoes from H&M that are bound to sell out quickly—don't say we didn't warn you.
