Plan your footwear for the season ahead with this spring 2016 guide. From colourful block heels to classic white sneakers, see all of the latest and greatest designer shoes, boots and sandals from the Spring/Summer 2016 collections.
Block heels
Stability meets chic. For a subversive take on ladylike style choose Spring’s most stylish block heels. Diverse and desirable, they come in neutral hues at Ralph Lauren, Christian Dior and Michael Kors. The most interesting styles feature a sculptural or a transluscent heel. As seen in Guy Laroche and Mary Katrantzou.

Platforms
Add fashion-forward edge to casual denim with a pair of printed platforms. A standout shoe is the most accessible way to safely incorporate colours into your wardrobe. We have seen the best styles at Stella McCartney, Gucci, and Victoria Beckham (platforms were the Spice Girls trademark, obviously). Apart from clours, platforms of spring 2016 feature contrasting graphic prints and cutouts.
Gladiator sandals
Gladiator sandals of the season wrap around your calf and are punctuated with studs for plenty of attitude. Most styles we have seen on the runway including Dolce & Gabbana and Giambattista Valli feature a flat sole but the silhouette stops high on the calf. Balance the Ancient Greek sandals with mini skirts and dresses.

Mules
Take day or evening looks from simple to extraordinary with the new mules. Perfect for sunny summer days, mules of summer feature either a skinny stiletto heel (Jenny Packham), a trendy block heel (Hugo Boss) or no heel at all. The flat mule, as they call it, was seen in Trademark, Victoria Becham, and Edun. So many options, so little time! Slip into your favourite pair.

Sneakers
Simone Rocha, Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger prove that sneakers are not just for the gym anymore. The new white classic sneaker is perfect for teaming with a variety of pant styles. All in all, the sneaker is a #1 accessory to refresh your spring off‑duty looks with a touch of sportswear glam.
Flats
The most beautiful flat shoes were seen in Wes Gordon and Edun. Maybe the new styles of spring 2016 made Victoria Beckham ditch her favourite heels as she is seen more and more in flats nowadays. Some styles feature eyelet cut-outs, some pointy toe and all of them feature tons of stability and class.
