These Are The Anti-Flat Shoe Trends To Know For Winter 2025

Now, I have nothing against flat shoes as a whole; however, there’s no getting away from the fact that, when I want to feel like my most confident self, heels are what I turn to. Yes, they often take a little more thought when it comes to styling than, say, a ballet flat or a loafer, and on occasion, they may be deemed impractical — read last week, when I thought I could get through a busy day of errands in a pair of stiletto boots — yet I will stand by the idea, that there’s nothing like slipping your feet into a great pair of heels, especially if you want your outfit to feel put-together and polished.

And so, when it came to updating my wardrobe for the new season, of course, the best anti-flat shoe trends were my first port of call. Thankfully, stiletto boots aren’t the only option (although a few more styles may have already made their way into my basket — what can I say, when it comes to shoes, I’m a masochist). Instead, winter 2025, is set to see a whole host of styles enter our wardrobes, from animal print slingbacks to controversial peep-toe mules.
