Not to dwell on the situation but, gosh, we missed M&S when its online shopping went dark recently after that cyber attack. You know us Who What Wear editors love a bit of expensive-looking high street shopping and we were pretty lost without one of our go-tos. Honestly, it made us realise just how much we rely on M&S for great quality buys at affordable prices, from wardrobe classics to more trend-led pieces. Especially the footwear, which we’ve always raved about (comfy, cheap and chic, what’s not to love?) So, with summer in full swing and the retailer's online shopping back up and running, it's time to do a deep dive into the key shoe trends M&S is nailing for summer 2025 and beyond.
There's plenty of classic strappy sandals (a summer staple, of course) and some really beautiful (and comfortable) heels that will have you covered for every dressier occasion in your calendar. Personally, I love the brand's classic ballet flats for everyday wear (they always sell out super fast)—I'll be wearing mine well into autumn with jeans, too. If you prefer your footwear to make more of a statement, they've got some seriously cute jelly shoes (yep, they're back) and animal print styles. But I think my favourite summer shoe trend M&S are indulging in for 2025 is elevated woven detailing, seen on everything from wedges to flat pumps. It's a surefire way to elevate any simple summer outfit.

1. Strappy Sandals
A classic pair that could pass for designer any day.
Butter yellow and a comfortable kitten heel. The dream!
These are selling out super fast.
2. Woven Details
Another designer-passing pair of flats, and this gorgeous chocolate colour will see you into autumn too.
A you can see on Jessica Skye (above), these look incredibly chic on.
Height + comfort is not something I'll ever complain about.
3. Fisherman Sandals
Fisherman sandals have been popular for so many years now, they're a capsule wardrobe essential at this point.
This suede mule version feels fresh and new.
I'm a sucker for this print, and on a fishermans style?! So good.
4. Bold Trainers
Colourful trainers are a huge 2025 trend, and these fit the bill perfectly.
Personally I like a neutral trainer so I'd choose these for a bold but versatile option.
Wear these with shorts now, but I'm already planning the autumn outfits to layer them with later.
5. Classic Ballet Pumps
The square toe on these is really, really chic.
Pretty!
I love a pop of red accessory.
6. Occasion-Ready
A pair of heels that will go with everything you already own.
Carrie Bradshaw, eat your heart out.
These may have a smaller heel height, but they're not short on style.
7. Jelly Shoes
I actually have these and can vouch for how incredibly comfy they are.
They come in a smart grey too.
But I think it's this clear pair that I'll invest n next.
8. Animal Print
Zebra print + ballet flat style is a win win.
Level up your deck shoes for the end of summer and autumn with these.
A great affordable alternative to Ganni's famous buckle flats.
Need immediately.
