These Are the 2025 Versions of Every Type of Shoes Your Wardrobe Needs

There are few things I love more than shopping for shoes, and I will come up with any excuse to order new ones. Luckily, 2025 has provided plenty of them. The thing is the types of shoes that are included in a well-balanced wardrobe don’t change all that much. You have pumps, sneakers, loafers, kitten heels, flat sandals, and so on. What does change from year to year is the trends within these categories. The good news is that a lot of these trends can be pretty timeless, so it’s not like you have to replace your entire shoe wardrobe each year. If you are seeking replacements for some of your essential shoes, you clicked on the right story.

As I did a month ago with basics, I compiled the most 2025 version of every type of shoes you may need—nine of them, to be exact. Some of them may seem a bit specific, but if you’re wearing a certain type of Mary Janes, for example, people will know you’re a fashion person with one glance. If you’re ready to shop the freshest version of practically every shoe style out there for 2025, keep scrolling to see my curated list.
