It's been a minute since there's been a new, significant "ugly" shoe trend on the scene, but that's set to change this winter. One of the most prominent shoe trends on the F/W 23 runways—which also made multiple appearances on the S/S 24 runways—was furry shoes. And we're not just talking subtly furry. We're talking about over-the-top, spot-them-from-a-mile-away furry.
Leading the furry-shoe charge on the F/W 23 runways were Gucci, Stella McCartney, and Givenchy, to name a few. And on the market, you'll find plenty more furry shoes among the current mix at Loewe, Burberry, Khaite, and Prada. Basically, pretty much every trend-forward luxury brand we have is on board. Once you get a visual, it'll be easy to see that the somewhat polarizing trend is actually quite chic and will add a fun touch to whatever outfit they're paired with.
