2024 was a year of surprising footwear trends, with a mix of iconic styles making a comeback alongside innovative new designs. Buckle up (or slip on some loafers!) as we dive into the hottest shoes that dominated our shopping carts and Instagram feeds all year long.

PUMA Speedcat

2024 is the year for the PUMA Speedcat comeback, and honestly, we aren’t complaining. This sleek, racing-inspired pair was a 90s classic that made a triumphant return to the delight of Gen Zs everywhere. Like its name, these pairs get snagged off shelves in a snap, so if you want to own a pair in time for the holidays, mark your calendars for December 13, 2024. PUMA Philippines will be restocking its classic black and red colorways and rolling out a new one in blush pink.

Cop a pair of the PUMA Speedcat in Pink on PUMA.com and at PUMA Bonifacio High Street, PUMA Shangri-La, PUMA SM North EDSA, PUMA Gateway Mall, PUMA Ayala Malls Manila Bay, Atmos Bonifacio High Street, Commonwealth Greenbelt, and Footlocker Glorietta.

GVN Agnes Mary Janes

Mary Janes have always been that shoe, the one every girl has to own at some point. It’s a rite of passage, and a stylish one at that. If ultimate It girl Alexa Chung says Mary Janes are the best, who are we to argue? You can shop for different styles, but these pairs from GVN are one of the prettiest and easiest on the pockets. It’s available in different colors: Cream, Black, Cornflower, Bubblegum, Red, and Dark Burgundy. Get it here.

New Balance 1906L

When the New Balance 1906L debuted at Paris Fashion Week last January, you could almost hear an audible sigh from footwear enthusiasts worldwide. It’s the perfect sneaker-loafer hybrid, stylish and — in true New Balance fashion — comfortable enough for all the 20,000 steps you’ll be making in another country. The best part? No shoelaces. Easily one of the best shoes of 2024! It’s a challenge to get your hands on this one, but you can try your luck here.

Andante Ribbon Kitten Heel

For the girlie tired of all the sneakers in their rotation, Andante launching the prettiest Ribbon Kitten Heel was a blessing. These close-toed heel pumps are made with 100% full grain leather upper and have a dainty ribbon detailing on the top. It’s available in Antique White, Black, Blush, Mahogany, and Olive. We don’t really believe in magic, but slipping these on will help you face the day in confidence and style. Get it here.

Sandy Liang x Salomon

This was a big year for putting ribbons on anything, so you bet everyone lost it when Salomon dropped a collab with designer Sandy Liang. The Speedcross 3 Ribbon Sandy Liang is the perfect marriage of footwear and elements of girlhood. A satin pink ribbon serves as a shoelace that softens the technical silhouette of the Speedcross. It’s a head-turner and a conversation starter in every way, capable of impressing all the cool kids wherever you wear it. Get it here.

Maison Margiela Tabi Shoes

Tabi shoes aren’t for everyone. But to those who understand its appeal and prestige, Maison Margiela’s cult favorite Tabi shoes are the dream, albeit expensive. Inspired by the traditional Japanese tabi sock worn with sandals to separate the big toe from others, this shoe managed to transcend to the modern era without losing its cool factor. We’re willing to bet your most fabulous friend owns a pair. And if that isn’t a sign to get one, we don’t know what is. Get it here.

Zaxy Flow Loafer

One can never have too many loafers, and Zaxy’s Flow Loafer comes in enough colorways to complement your wardrobe. It’s available in Black, Beige, Cherry Red, and Dark Coffee Brown, a versatile shoe with a platform for that extra height. Visit Zaxy stores nationwide or get it here.

Birkenstock Boston Suede Clogs

Take it from the Salcedo girlies who’ve made the Birkenstock clogs a permanent in their rotation — this is the laid-back shoe you can pair with anything. Smooth, suede, and available in a range of muted colors, these slip-ons offer a relaxed vibe you can definitely bring to work or weekend hangouts. Get it here.
