Winter poses a tricky problem when it comes to footwear. You need a pair that won't have you sliding on slippery streets, can withstand frigid temps, and also falls in line with your personal style. It's usually why boots are the quintessential winter shoe—they check all the boxes. I can throw on classic ankle boots with a wintery sweater dress for the office or a knee-high style and a skirt and sweater pairing for a date night, and I won't have to compromise function or my outfit. For that reason, I'm hoping to add a few more trendy boot styles to my growing collection this season—and there are tons to uncover in the sale section.
I have my eye on plenty of different winter 2025 shoe trends. For starters, suede has stolen my heart like the rest of the fashion crowd, so I need at least one pair in my closet. Other standouts include elevated kitten heels, daring animal print pairs, and slouchy, scrunched-up styles I spotted on the fall 2024 runways. Thankfully, these trendy shoes don't call for a huge investment—I found plenty of boots on sale at my favorite retailers, all for under $300.
