The silhouettes spotlighted in the October 2025 shoes round-up emphasize imaginative style sensibilities, sustainability, and performance-driven utility.
The modular sneaker by designer Daniyar Uderbekov, who drew inspiration from Central Asian footwear traditions, immediately captures attention with its three-element structure — the leather boot uppers, a 3D printed TPU sole, and climbing rope laces. Elsewhere, the Clarks Originals x Nicholas Daley model and the Givenchy Sliced Square Ballerina silhouette also stand out for their elaborate construction.
Baffin focuses on comfort with its new WANDER Boot for kids. Guaranteed to offer warmth and backed by the company's real-world testing protocol, this model is easy to slip on, waterproof, and breathable. Tootsie Augmented Reality also innovates in the kid-focused footwear category with a virtual world that gamifies the shopping experience.
