2025 Spring Shoe Trends

The next thing you will notice is how few "dressy shoes" or "Easter type" shoes there are. Me personally, I love a wedge sandal this time of year. I tend to grab a pair in white and nude and maybe even buy one with color. But this year, these looks don't exist. Wedges and heels have been replaced by comfort overall in the Spring trends.

Ballet Slippers and any type of Mary Jane shoe with little to no heel is what is dominating the styles. It's a good thing I love ankle length pants and these shoes styles look so cute with these types of pants!

2. Kelly and Katie Maureen Ballet Flats. These ultra-feminine flats are a nod to classic ballet aesthetics, featuring soft, flexible materials, rounded toes, and delicate details like bows and ruched edges. This season, expect to see them in everything from minimalist leather to embellished and mesh styles, perfect for pairing with both casual and dressy looks.

BUT also, don't expect to see some of these extra colors in store. The inventory this season for in person shopping is much more basic than before. I suspect brick and mortar stores are being very safe with the in stock inventory and are placing the more colorful, and perhaps more riskier styles away in the warehouse to be shipped to your door.

Along side the ballet flats, and right next to the few dressy shoes you will see the resurgence of the Mary Jane style. Mary Jane style straps continue to be added to all types of shoes this Spring 2025 season. 

3. Kelly & Katie Giselle Mary Jane Flats. Flat, barely-there soles are another defining feature of this season’s Mary Janes, reinforcing the trend toward comfort without sacrificing elegance. Whether in sheer mesh, soft leather, or textured knit fabrics, these shoes pair effortlessly with flowing skirts, tailored trousers, and even casual denim for an effortlessly chic look.




Spring is also known as a time where we women wear more and more dresses. I personally love dress season! I always recommend a great neutral and colorful shoe to alternate during this time of the year. That way you get the most wear out of your shoes and your dresses.

4. Kelly & Katie Hailee Sandal.  This shoe is the perfect pick for effortlessly complementing any spring outfit. With its sleek, minimalist design and comfortable block heel, this sandal provides the perfect balance of style and wearability.

Its soft neutral tones—ranging from classic nude to subtle blush—make it an easy match for everything from floral maxi dresses to tailored jumpsuits. Plus, the simple strap design keeps the focus on your outfit while elongating the leg for a flattering, polished look. Whether you're attending a spring wedding, heading to brunch, or dressing up for a night out, the Hailee Sandal is a go-to choice for effortless elegance. If you're not in to nude shoes, these same shoes available in 25 color options ONLINE through DSW.




Although the shoe choices this season, seem more basic and certainly a lot lower to the ground than in years past, I did find one wedge sandal that I loved and I couldn't pass it up. I mean, I'm a shortie, I need the leg elongation where possible!

5. DV by Dolce Vita Tru Wedge Sandal. No spring shoe roundup is complete without the perfect wedge—and this season, the DV by Dolce Vita Tru Wedge Sandal is the one to have. This effortlessly chic shoe combines the height and elegance of a heel with the all-day comfort of a wedge, making it a go-to choice for everything from garden parties to weekend brunches.

With its sleek straps, neutral color options, and walkable design, the Tru Wedge is versatile enough to pair with flowy sundresses, linen sets, and even cropped denim. The low-profile wedge keeps it modern and wearable, while the classic silhouette ensures it won’t go out of style anytime soon. Whether you’re dressing up or keeping it casual, this sandal will carry you through the season with ease.

With so many fresh and versatile shoe trends this season, there’s a perfect pair for every occasion. Whether you’re embracing the effortless elegance of ballet flats and Mary Janes, keeping it casual with stylish sneakers, or stepping up your look with a neutral sandal or chic wedge, Spring 2025 is all about comfort-meets-style.
