1. Thigh-High Boots

Beloved by style icons like Beyonce and Taylor Swift, over-the-knee boots elongate the legs along with your overall look. They’re the perfect excuse to break out those skinny jeans with a silk top or kick off the cozy season with fleece-lined tights and a mini sweater dress.

Before the weather hits, Foot Petals shoe protector sprays safeguard your leather and suede boots from water, dirt, and stains. Since most thigh-highs are made for fashion and not comfort, consider a boost of arch support and some no-slip grips for added traction.

2. Loafers

The second biggest fall shoe trend after boots is women’s loafers. Whether you’re a fan of platform heels like Mary Janes or love a good penny loafer, this classic shoe can be worn with or without socks to polish up your fall work outfits like pants suits and wide-leg jeans.

The best shoe for going from cool mornings to balmy afternoons, loafers offer all-day comfort plus relief from achy feet with ¾ orthotic insoles. Put a stop to unwanted slipping or ankle chaff with back of heel cushions, discrete heel liners that help improve fit.

3. Grunge Boots

Biker boots have thick soles and deep tread that offer all-season comfort with some modern edge. Adorned with adjustable straps and buckles, these heavy-duty booties worn with cuffed denim bottoms or leggings are the epitome of functional fashion for everyone.

These boots are made for walking, but when blisters or foot pain develop after being on your feet all day, Foot Petals blister patches and heel inserts for boots are here to save the day. Our gel heel cup cushions absorb shock with each step for cushioned relief that never goes flat.

4. Square-Toe Shoes

Tired of wearing those tight, pointy pumps from last year’s fall shoe trends? This year’s square-toe mules, heels and boots will have your feet and your podiatrist feeling much better. Style them like any pump with tailored trousers, a long overcoat, or a turtleneck.

Wide toe boxes are healthier for your toes, but that doesn’t stop your feet from sliding forward. Foot Petals ball of foot cushions help prevent sliding to reduce pain and get rid of ugly toe overhang for a more comfortable stride.

5. Heeled Mules

Slip-on mules with high vamps, or the area of the shoe that covers the top of the foot, have all the professional attitude a shoe needs with the playful look of exposed ankles. They put a fun twist on layered outfits with maxi skirts, shift dresses, and jumpsuits.

Because you can wear heeled mules from the office to happy hour, you’ll want to avoid foot fatigue with Foot Petals gel ball of foot cushions with arch support. The slim design offers discrete, sock absorbing comfort and adaptable support for all arch types.
