Track shoes

You can look just as show-stopping if you attempt a clashing look that starts with a more business-savvy outfit on top with trendy sneakers on the bottom. Track shoes can fit into your wardrobe effortlessly depending on the brand you choose to go for. Nike Air Zoom sneakers and Adidas Ultraboost 22 sneakers are just a couple of top-tier options to consider, and they match nearly any outfit to boot.

Colorful rain boots

It might not be super rainy in the region where you live, which means rain boots aren't inherently a must for rainfall purposes. Regardless of the weather you experience during spring, though, colorful rain boots are still a great option to consider when it comes to footwear. After all, rain boots as being both safe and practical, and who doesn't love a multi-use item? There is so much more to rain boots than just their practicality, too.

Colorful rain boots are a lot of fun because they add a bright splash to any normal outfit you might be wearing. If you decide to wear all black from head to toe with rain boots that are a bright shade of orange, yellow, or purple, you will still undoubtedly stand out. Colorful rain boots covered in patterns and designs such as checkers or polka dots are just as appealing.

Mesh heels

If you don't already own a pair of mesh heels, spring 2023 is the perfect time to take the leap. Shein is simply one brand out of many that offer an assortment of mesh heels to choose from including a pair that has a pointed toe, a stiletto heel, and enough material to be pulled up over your knees.

Since they give off a sheer look, you can easily pair them with any outfit design that you might come up with. Mesh heels give you the freedom to get creative with the pieces in your closet, and spring is all about getting hands-on with every aspect of our life.

Floral sandals

When you think of pieces of clothing that are covered in floral patterns, the first thing that comes to mind might be a typical sundress. For the spring of 2023, floral sandals are actually going to be the hot topic of conversation instead. Shop Style advertises loads of floral sandals, including a pair with white soles, pink petals, and yellow straps.

Mary janes

Most mary janes offer a little bit of lift in the back in the form of a very short and thick heel. If you're looking to be an inch or two taller for the day, these show will easily help you accomplish that.

Skinny-heeled boots

It might be easy to assume that skinny-heeled boots aren't the most comfortable shoes to wear since they require a little more balance, but they are worth trying out at least a handful of times during spring 2023.

There's something very elegant and chic about a boot with a skinny heel since these shoes add an instant pop of sophistication without much effort at all.

Bare satin heels

Bare satin heels are minimalist shoes, and it's not hard to see why. The reason they fit into a minimalist category is that they don't offer a ton of foot coverage or intricate detail, yet they still get the job done in the world of fashion. Strappy heels that are lined with satin with short heels are comfortable and visually attractive from the perspective of a true fashion-lover.

Net-A-Porter notes that bare satin heels are versatile in an endless way. They're considered versatile since they can easily complete any look.

Bare satin heels look stunning whether they come in a shade of gold, black, cream, or something else entirely. The slight shine that reflects off of the satin material adds the perfect amount of elegant style to your look.

Exaggerated heels

Exaggerated heels are worth experimenting with if you're comfortable taking a fashion risk every now and then. TikToker @The.Art.Of shared a video highlighting her own personal experience with exaggerated heels in a viral video. She showed off a gorgeous pair of black heels made of shiny material with odd-shaped thick heels in the back. Her playful caption said, "The way exaggerated square toe heels have me in a chokehold," with a distressed face emoji and a flame emoji.

They offer a pair that has an adjustable buckle, a three-inch heel, a quarter strap around the ankle, and an insole with slight padding. Exaggerated heels don't have to be reserved for outfits that are overly unconventional or outlandish. They can be worn with regular pieces from your closet that fit any occasion.

Ballet flats

Ballerinas aren't the only individuals who have the chance to wear cute and trendy ballet flats. Ballet flats will be all the rage when spring 2023 rolls around — for just about everyone, including non-ballerinas. Vivaia explains that ballet flats offer fashion-lover a sense of casual elegance whether you're enjoying a fun shopping spree or you're headed off to date night.

Originally, they weren't even meant for ballerinas. In fact, ballerinas once wore heels during their performances. Now, anyone and everyone are welcome to try the trend.

Clear heels

There truly isn't anything more versatile than clear heels in the world of fashion. They go along with outfits better than white black, or any other neutral color because they don't include any color at all. Clear heels are even the best shoes to wear if you don't want to pull any attention away from your outfit. If you are completely dolled up in a dressy gown or trendy denim jeans, no one will be overly concerned with your clear heels when they have other stylish aspects of your outfit to worry about.

They are incredibly special because they can offer what a nude heel offers in a better way while giving off a futuristic vibe.

Soccer sneakers

Regardless of how athletic you may or may not be, soccer shoes will look absolutely fabulous on you during the spring 2023 season. Sports Illustrated Showcase notes that soccer shoes from Adidas, Nike, Puma, and New Balance are some top-tier options.

These shoes add a sporty twist to just about any outfit.

Metallic boots

In an interesting way, metallic boots can spice up any outfit you're wearing by adding a futuristic and space-like effect. Regular heels that don't offer any shine whatsoever simply don't compare when you are deciding which shoes to wear for a night out on the town. Metallic heels don't need to be reserved for special occasions or holidays, like Halloween, when they can be worn on a typical day during spring, or any other season for that matter.

Peep-show heels

If you're the type of person who appreciates a great pedicure on a regular basis, then peep show heels might just be the best possible shoes for you to wear during spring 2023. The best thing about peep-show heels is that they give you a chance to show off whatever toenail polish you've opted for.

Tall lace-up boots

The reason why is that they are cute, comfortable, and they have the ability to keep you warm if spring weather ends up being chillier than you thought.

Tall lace-up boots look just as incredible with faux leather, though, so don't fret. You can rock a pair and still be environmentally conscious.

Denim heels

Denim heels are the way to go during spring 2023 due to their versatile flair and amazing appeal. According to Cotton Works. denim has been around in pant form since 1860 when Levi Strauss & Co. decided to make major waves in the world of fashion.
