Shoe trends have changed from year to year and decade to decade. Some shoe trends are popular for a few years and then no one wears them after that. Typically, shoe trends recycle themselves over the years, and what was once popular twenty years ago became popular again. This is common for all types of shoes from high heels to sneakers to platform shoes to clogs. No one knows what will be popular years from now, but what is for sure is that what was once popular will eventually become the new trend again.

Here are the most popular shoe trends of 2020:

1. Chain detail pumps
High heels became popular in the late 1800s in the United States and what they once looked like has completely changed. Today, the most popular style of high heel shoes is the chain detail pump. This shoe features a heel, typically a long, thin heel with an open toe shoe. Somewhere on the shoe, you can find a chain detail. This chain detail typically connects the ankle support with the foot support so that the chain is the center focus of the shoe. One of the most popular designers, Valentino, uses chain detail on a variety of different places on his pumps to increase their sparkle and appeal.

2. Croc-effect leather loafers
Croc-effect leather loafers were once popular but are becoming more popular than ever in 2020. Croc effect shoes and leather loafers are combining this year to make one of the most stylish shoes possible. This shoe can be worn anywhere, which is why it is becoming so popular. If you are looking for a great and stylish flat shoe you can always count on Marc Jacobs to make a great loafer that you can impress anyone with. Loafers look great with all sorts of outfits and can be paired well for any occasion.

3. Mary Jane patent shoes
Mary Jane-style patent shoes were once popular for all women years ago and then they stopped being worn by most. Today this style of shoe is regaining its popularity and becoming more popular than ever. While this style of shoe may not look identical to the ones people wore years ago it still has the same characteristics. It features a closed-toe shoe with a strap around the ankle. This helps ensure comfort and durability for all.

4. Espadrille sandals
Gucci makes some of the best and highest quality espadrille sandals on the market. This shoe features a twisted strap around the ankle and lower leg to help show off a woman’s ankle and leg. You can find these sandals in both flats or on wedges. If you want to accentuate your leg you can try a wedge, while if you are going for comfort you can wear the flat.

5. Platform sneakers
Another shoe style that was once popular and is not becoming more popular again is the platform sneaker. Platform sneakers were once worn by everyone and now are starting to be worn by celebrities and those with good fashion. This sneaker features a platform base with a traditional sneaker on top. It allows you to feel taller instantly while staying comfortable in a sneaker. It gives the benefits of high heels without having to worry about falling over and wobbling while you walk.
