Top 85 Shoes Trends in October

From Hyper-Comfort Eco Sneakers to Dynamic Four-Toed Sandals

— October 28, 2023 — Fashion
Whether looking for sneakers, footwear, or related products, such as socks, this curated monthly list covers the latest innovative releases across the industry. While some products focus more on fashion, others focus on performance, eco-friendliness, and more. This list offers examples from each of these categories.

The MediCaptain socks showcase one direction of innovation, as these socks feature anti-slip gripping, moisture wicking fabric, and silicone padding in injury-prone locations. These are high-performance socks designed for athletes and other active individuals.

With more of a fashion focus, KIRTH presented its Crocs Echo Storm collaborative silhouette. This silhouette uses 100% vegan and bio-based material with a convenient and comfortable slip-on design. The pattern on the Crocs invoke a wavy storm, with swoosh-like lines bending around the entirety of the upper and midsole of the shoe.
