Footwear trends of 2022
Shoe trends were aplenty in 2021, but now that we've entered into a new year, it feels like the perfect time to begin clearing out some space on our shoe racks for fresh additions while perhaps holding onto a few of last year's biggest hitters.
To get to the bottom of what is and isn't worth keeping as well as which styles should be on everyone's wish list this year, you have come to the right place. Scroll on to find out which shoe trends, from low-key staples to of-the-moment fads, are making it into our 2022 wardrobes.
Block Heels:
Blocks are about to have a major moment in 2022, and they're going to take your 'fits to all new heights (literally). They will be the fashion-girl sole of choice this year across everything.
Digging into PAIO’s collection, the Eleanor White Heels are here to stay, and they are the perfect pair for you! You can tie them up in different ways and with different strap colors and make your own unique statement! Add this fashionable and trendy pair of white heels for women in your closet.

Another alternative is the Deme x PAIO Poppy Teal blue heels. This pair is a refreshing combination of colors. A statement in itself, they come with 2 different strap colors which make them so stylish. Tie them up in different ways or with different colors and make your own unique statement.
Timeless staples:
This year, we should all vow to shop smarter to really build on our already existing wardrobes. That being said, planning on minimizing the number of colorful and ultra-trendy shoes we buy and instead investing in timeless staples, makes for such a sustainable and long-lasting solution. You are for sure going to reach out for the following, no matter the occasion.
There’s nothing worse than having an interview or even a wedding coming up and needing to run out the night before because you don’t have heels to pair with your outfit. In a time where sustainability and fashion-conscious people are growing, it’s possible for both to grow hand in hand if we focus on the classics that last you a long time!
One such classic is the PAIO’s Khloe Nude Heel. Extremely stylish and classic, this is an essential piece to have in your closet. An investment to cherish for a lifetime! Amazing if you want to look elongated and classy instantly. It upgrades your casual outfits and even subtly amps up your more formal looks. Having a pair of heels (that you can walk in) in a neutral color that you can wear to all heel-worthy events is a rite of passage as a woman, and it’s better yet to get one pair you really love than a poor-quality pair you have to keep replacing.
PAIO’s Eleanor Black Heels:

Ballet Flats:
Let’s be honest, none of us thought that ballet flats could make a serious comeback, but here we are! The notoriously comfy pair should be your new go-to when styling everything from miniskirts to denim. Hey, at least this is good news for everyone who can’t stand heels.
