    These old spring shoe trends are worth ditching in 2026

    I’ll be honest. Spring shoes are where I see the fastest dating trends. A new season is always a quick reminder of what things you’ve moved on from. You can still avoid the denim trend that many consider dated or a bit shabby, but shoes? They tell about you immediately. Lately, I’ve found myself subconsciously reaching for pairs that I wore nonstop just a year or two ago.

    What is taking their place is nothing new. It’s louder, a little quieter, and honestly easier to wear. The broader vibe is less “look at my shoes” and more “these are perfect.” Below, see the spring shoe trends I’m moving on from and what I’m wearing instead.

    Above: Old School PVC Shoes

    In: Jelly Heels

    PVC Shoes had one such moment. They felt spontaneous, futuristic, and “of-the-moment.” I still remember those days well. Now, they are beginning to feel more effort-hard, and the trend of the moment is jelly heels. I have to admit that they are a little on the trendy side, so if you like them, go for them. Only a select few people will love them as much as I do.

    In: Almond-toe flats

    I was so into luge soles at my peak. Everything I had had to have a lug sole, and during the spring that was derby shoes. I’d rather opt for almond-toed flats this time of year. They’re an upgrade from ballet flats that you’ll never want to toss out.

    Over it: Gum-sole sneakers

    In: Colorful sneakers

    The woman is wearing baggy brown pants and burgundy sneakers.

    gum-sole Sneakers will be in gym class for me, because they never really won me over. However, the slight pop of color is a win in the sneaker department. It feels fresh and adds personality to every outfit.

    Over: Embroidery

    In: Subtle Embellishments

    The woman is wearing embellished heels and a net dress.

    The embroidery may be pretty, but on the shoes it’s a bit much for me. They remind me somewhat of a decorative blanket and not in the best way. On the other hand, subtle embellishments are a great special touch to any outfit. They catch light and add texture, and when done right, they can never be too much.

    Above: Platform

    In: Kitten Heels

    Platforms will never really go away in my view, but they just aren’t on fire like they used to be. Instead, fashionistas everywhere have so many pairs of kitten heels in their closets that they can’t fit in them all. They are just momentary.
