I Searched TikTok and Instagram to Find Out What Shoes We're Wearing in 2024

I spend a lot of time on the internet. Whether it's shopping online for my job, sleuthing Instagram for outfit ideas, or simply enjoying my nightly TikTok scroll, I get a lot of exposure to content. Sure, it might not be the best thing for my eyesight or my bank account, but it is great for you because I get to share everything I've found and learned right here on Who What Wear.

On that note, I'm diving into the shoes that fashion girlies have proven are it for 2024. From flats to heels to the boots I'm seeing all of the chicest people sport, you'll find the five styles you should definitely wear (or continue to wear) if you want to feel forward this year. Ready to see what made the cut? Simply keep scrolling.

Closed-Toe Mules

Mark my words—this vintage-inspired style will be one of the biggest shoe and heel trends of the year. Prepare to see them everywhere. 

Fitted Knee-High Boots

There's something about fitted knee-high heeled boots that's really taken the fashion set by storm. Whether it's with skirts, dresses, or pants, one has to admit they do go with everything and are a sleek and polished alternative to the chunkier trends we've seen so much of lately.

Special Sambas

I'm not exaggerating when I say these are one of the only sneaker styles seen on my feeds. However, forget about the original black-and-white colorway—the fashion set has now set its sights on specialty pairs, including the Wales Bonner and Sporty & Rich collabs as well as other fresh color combos. 

Slingbacks

As someone who is personally obsessed with them, I'm pleased to say that the ever-classic slingbacks are going nowhere this year. Hold on to the ones you've got, and don't be afraid to add more to your collection. You'll be using them for a while. 

Loafers

Just ask Hailey Bieber—loafers are still it for 2024. Thanks to the internet, we're constantly finding out about new ways to style them so they always feel fresh.
