What's In and Out for 2016's Shoe Trends

In: "Footwear that goes about the ankle and '80s styles." — Stuart Weitzman

Out: "Pointed-toe pumps, peep toes, and moccasins." — Stuart Weitzman

In: "For spring 2016, we see the espadrille as the IN luxury shoe that feels casual yet refined. It's only human to hate the feeling of raw jute underfoot, especially as the weather heats up. So we padded and covered the espadrille footbed with our insole in soft Spanish leather. The PALMA slide is a modern and simple take on the espadrille sandal." — Matt Bernson

Out: "I see the wedge sneaker as the OUT item for 2016. While they may have been all the rage with street style bloggers, celebs, and editors, it has officially passed in favor of old-school sneaker minimalism. If your sneaker has a hidden wedge, it's time to hide it in the closet." — Matt Bernson

In: "I love woods and mules this year—something that hasn't been updated in a girl's closet lately." — Megan Key

Out: "Exaggerated embellishments." — Megan Kay

In: "I think that ornament slides are in for spring 2016. It's a good alternative for the dreaded flip-flop. They are easy to wear and a great statement piece for any spring/summer outfit." — Isa Tapia

Out: "I think tall gladiator sandals are out. They are hard to pull off unless you are a supermodel." — Isa Tapia

In: "This spring is the return of the mule—this will be the real resurgence of that silhouette." — Steve Madden
