6 Summer Shoe Trends I'm Ordering From Zara and Reformation

by Allyson Payer

Whenever I want to try a new shoe trend, two of my favorite places to check are Zara and Reformation, which is a newish but very strong entry in the footwear field. These two brands are often among the first to sell great versions of the freshest trends at price points that are relatively easy to swallow. Reasonably priced trendy shoes are a beautiful thing.

I'm quite fond of a few of the summer shoe trends on the market right now, and of course, there are fantastic options on both Reformation and Zara. Among the trends, you'll find colorful heels, rhinestone-embellished shoes, and walkable fisherman sandals. Basically, there's something among these six trends for every shoe person, and I found the best versions at Zara and Ref. Scroll to shop my picks so that your shoe wardrobe is prepped for summer before it even begins.
