After months of slipping on sandals—come mostly rain and very little shine—I’ve been eagerly waiting for autumn, ready to retire my strappy flats and make way for what I think is the year’s most exciting footwear. There’s something undeniably chic about boots and autumn shoes in general, and it feels like they unlock a whole new wardrobe personality. The right pair can elevate your outfit and add instant polish in a way that a flimsy little slider couldn’t possibly. For maximum wear throughout the colder months, it can be tempting to play it safe and stick to a trusty pair of black leather boots. But to look only as far an all-rounder pair is to deny yourself the many chic footwear trends coming to the fore for the season. Just one look at the new styles that have just dropped at schuh – my go-to for footwear inspiration – and I’m already dreaming up all the potential outfits that could be made, just by upping my shoe game.

Sorry Black Boots, These Trending Autumn Footwear Styles Have My Attention
schuh has just dropped its autumn line-up and, sure, there are boots, but there's so much more...
From chunky trainers to fashion girl-approved loafers, there’s no shortage of new styles to explore. And the best part? These key picks will carry you through this season and beyond, so they’re worth the investment. For those days when comfort is a must, BIRKENSTOCK’s cosy clogs are perfect for keeping things casual and are the closest you can come to wearing your slippers outside. If you're more about a sporty everyday aesthetic, Veja’s eco-friendly trainers or New Balance’s retro-inspired kicks will add a low-key vibe to wide leg denim and joggers. And for a cooler alternative to the classics, Dr. Martens boots are a must—pair them with anything from girly printed midi dresses to denim for a tougher finish that’s officially season-proof.
So, as tempting as it is to play it safe, don’t. schuh’s autumn collection offers a world of choice beyond the basics, so find your new seasonal style saviour from our round-up of the best autumn footwear below.
