32 New Shoes That Are Worth Planning Entire Outfits Around

A fun fact about me (even if it's not all that unique) is that I really love shoes. I'm the type of person that chooses my shoes first when deciding what I'm going to wear each day. And when new pairs begin arriving for the forthcoming season, I find myself browsing them daily. As you know, fall is on its way, and seeing that it's almost September, now is the perfect time to start thinking about which pairs you'll want to wear come October (or sooner, hopefully).
I spent several hours compiling a list of the new shoes I'm considering adding to my collection (although I regretfully can't have them all, so I must narrow it down drastically). I realize that when you don't shop for a living, it can be overwhelming to know what's worth buying for the new season, so I'm sharing my list of new shoes with you. Narrowing it down from there is up to you. Scroll to fall back into shoe shopping (sorry, I couldn't resist).
These are set to be the It flats of fall 2023. Hailey Bieber agrees.
