Fall 2026 runways feature high vamps and animal print heels
Fashion designers presented heel trends for the fall 2026 season at recent runway shows.

High vamp styles dominate
Designers such as Chanel, Isabel Marant, and Elie Saab showcased heels with a high vamp. These shoes appeared alongside other silhouettes that emphasized a considered design approach rather than towering platforms.
Animal prints remain popular
Roberto Cavalli and Isabel Marant displayed leopard, zebra, and snake patterns on their footwear collections. This bold obsession with print extends across various shoe categories including pumps and wedges.
Art Deco influences return
The Row, Jil Sander, and Tory Burch introduced T-strap pumps reflecting Art Deco silhouettes. Wedge and loafer heels also ruled the runway at brands like Hermès and Blumarine.
