Top 60 Shoe Trends in August

From Plush Toy Slides to Cosmetic Brand Clogs

The August 2021 shoe trends showcase the fun and quirky styles that define this summer. From cosmetic brand clogs to plush toy slide sandals, fashion brands encourage consumers to use their personal style as a form of expression. This summer, fashion is all about showing off unique interests and having fun with what we wear.

The Jeremy Scott and Adidas adilette 'Js Bear' is a bold take on the brand's slide sandals. The slide is decorated in a bright yellow shade with a teddy bear plush toy on both feet, featuring an EVA foam footbed. This footwear is meant to stand out in any crowd. Another fun style comes from Benefit Cosmetics and Crocs' collaboration. The classic clog is given a sparkling new look in the cosmetic brand's signature hot pink color.
