Men’s Fall 2016 Runway Shoe Trends [PHOTOS]

It seems comical to start planning for next fall — the spring leaves have only begun budding, after all — but one can never be too prepared in the fashion world. The fall ’16 men’s shows offered a number of new footwear trends, and we’re highlighting the top ones you’ll want to be buying next season.

1. Cozy Shearlings
The latest crop of outdoorsy footwear is fit for adventure-seekers. Shearling accents, in a lining or decorative tongue, make for a cozy step into fall.

Not for the timid: Classic styles get a new, bolder identity. Dive in with impactful details such as hand-painted prints, oversized kilties or elastic strapping instead of laces.

3. Sharp Shooters
Are rounded toes on the outs? All signs point to yes. Designers went for a hard edge via chiseled and walled shapes. In stark white or silver metallic, these styles are definitely rock-star ready.
