Save vs. Splurge: Spring 2018 Shoe Trends
Who is ready for spring? I know I am! We finally have daffodils blooming here, so I’m hopeful the weather will be starting to warm up soon.
Today I am talking spring shoe trends. Slides, loafers, and mules are all trending this year. Embellishments such as pearls and bows are also being added to footwear this spring.
Below I have featured items for each of these four spring trends. I have Save and Splurge options for every category. All of the Save options are priced under $40. I love when I can get the look for less and bet you do too!

Slides: Slide sandals are very trendy this spring! If you find it hard to find a good fit with strappy or gladiator sandals, then the slide sandal trend may be great for you. I often find that sandals with wider straps create less pressure on my foot. I have a pair of black Franco Sarto Quentin (crisscross) slides from a couple of years ago and was able to wear them right out of the box with no break in period. The pool or athletic slide look is big this spring. I was a little surprised to see this shoe trending, but think it could be a practical sandal for spring and summer. Who remembers wearing the Adidas version back in the 90s??? I toted mine around to all of my college tennis matches.
Vans Slide-On Sandal $29.95 | Tory Burch Lina Slide Sandal $148
Topshop Hawaii Crisscross Sandal $35 | Sam Edelman Gertrude Cross Strap Slide Sandal $79.95
COCONUTS BY MATISSE Cabana Slide Sandal $29.95 | Sam Edelman Gio Slide Sandal $79.95
Loafers: Loafers work well for early spring when the weather is still cool. My favorite of the loafers shown below is the blush pair from Target. I have heard a lot of good things about them on Instagram.

Mules: Mules are a great transitional shoe for spring. The black A New Day pair below are an inexpensive dupe for the Gucci mules and have lots of positive reviews.
