Wearable Fall Shoe Trends For Women Over 50
Each fall, we get some new directions in footwear that can keep our outfits feeling fresh and up-to-date. At this stage in my life, it’s important that I find a shoe that not only looks good but is comfortable. I won’t spend time suffering in pain for any shoe, so comfort and support are a must. Here are some wearable fall shoe trends for women over 50 that offer comfort and great style.
#1. Chunky Loafers
Loafers are a perennial classic any time of year. The chunkier versions continue to be a popular trend for fall 2023. I like the visual balance they provide with the straight-leg and wider-leg pants that are also popular this year. They’re a great option for every day with jeans or trousers, and they dress up easily depending on the leather. There are also a lot of options available in the “comfort” category with this chunky loafer, which is good news for those of us with tricky feet.
#2. Pointed Toe Flats and Mary Janes
This is a great style for everyday wear, and the comfort options are plentiful. The straps on the Mary Janes make them easier to wear than a ballet flat because they stay on without having to grip your toes. These work with almost any outfit or occasion, from daily denim styles to work and evening wear.
#3. Clogs
Clogs are another trending shoe that is easier on the feet. I began wearing them in the 70s and the same brands are still popular today. Dansko is one of my favorite brands. I added these Sassy cutout clogs to my wardrobe for fall and love the height boost I get, along with stability because of the enclosed heel and buckled strap. Clogs also come in boots this year so you can wear them with socks in the colder weather.
#4. Metallics
Metallics are a big trend for fall and hugely popular in all footwear, belts and bags. I’m partial to metallic sneakers which add some fun oomph to casual looks. Opt for warm or cool tones which will coordinate with everything in your wardrobe.
#5. Western Style Boots
Western or Cowboy boots have always been in style. This fall there are lots of options with either subtle or over the top detailing. Tuck them under a bootcut jean or show them off with tights and a casual skirt.
#6. Soccer Sneakers
The fashion sneaker trend is still very popular, and this fall, we’re seeing a sportier take on that with soccer-style sneakers. I haven’t embraced this type of sneaker with skirts or dresses, but I am seeing it done more and more.
#7. Skinny/Kitten Heels
I know a lot of my readers have given up heels altogether, but a kitten heel may be a comfortable option to try this fall. I see them in shoes, booties, and tall boots. The feminine kitten shape adds a bit of height, looks great with a dress, skirt, or pants, and feels similar to a flat.
