Top 100 Shoe Trends in August

From Engagement Ring Shoe Charms to Perforated Cartoon Boots

— August 26, 2023 — Fashion
These August 2023 shoe innovations include luxe and novelty accessories -- proving that Crocs' popularity is here to stay with bold and conceptual designs.

Known for captivating fans with its dynamic footwear, MSCHF recently joined forces with Crocs to unveil a new iteration of its viral Big Red Boot. The boot features a bright yellow colorway and Crocs' iconic perforated style. The playful shoes are showcased in a new ad starring Paris Hilton and will launch to the public on August 9th.

Other August 2023 shoe trends include Jessica Flinn Fine Jewellery's engagement ring charm. The unique footwear charm features green sapphires and is encircled by lab-grown diamond halos. The charm can also be customized and is designed to attach securely with a screw-on flat back, making it ideal for accessorizing Crocs and other similar styles.
