Welcome to the AW17 shoe trend report of The CoolSpotter, in which I’ll show you the must-haves of this season, so you can pick your favourites and adapt them to your personal style.

Let's start with one of the most notorious and popular right now, which is the ankle boots trend that is not new at all but it continues to be the strongest. We see them in different styles, heights, materials, and colours. They are very comfy and go with almost everything, from jeans to skirts. My favourites are the Chelsea style and the ones with laces or elastic gores in the sides and chunky rubber soles.

The next trend is all about shine: Glitter footwear. It comes in many colours, lengths, and silhouettes, from the ultra-feminine princess pumps to the over the knee boots, flats, and Dr. Martens style.
