A Comprehensive Guide to the Best Belted Shoes Because Belted Bags Are so 2025
Many years ago, belt bags (aka fanny packs) were everywhere. No, we’re not talking about the 90s when they first became commonplace. We’re talking about all the way back in 2016 when they experienced a rather notable resurgence. That’s a whopping 10 years ago in case you haven’t done the math. Last year, belted bags made their presence known, but in this instance, the bags didn’t double as belts like fanny packs. Instead, the silhouettes just feature an actual belt as an accent. Now the next evolution is making itself known, although it’s in a very different form. For 2026, belted shoes will become the new obsession.
While the most common category, especially this time of year, is boots, there’s plenty more styles to choose from. Think a shiny kitten heel courtesy of Marc Jacobs. Then there are the classic buckle loafers. Brogues are also popular. FP Collection offers up Mary Janes in a decadent chestnut color. Miu Miu even buckled up a pair of its in-demand sneakers. Not surprisingly, Miu Miu is the principal purveyor with several selections of footwear, including sneakers, boots and brogues.
Turning our attention back to the boots, the range is quite impressive. From ankle-hitting booties all the way up to and over the knee, there’s something for everyone. Prices kick off at an affordable $140 and go up to $2,650 for a set of marvelous Miu Miu black leather boots.
There are some great designer deals. Take Marc Jacobs’ The Emma Kitten Heel in Shiny Gold marked down to under $150. Tory Burch’s Multi-Buckle Ankle Boot will run you $389. You’ll save 40 percent when you pick up Marni’s Buckled Embroidered Leather Loafers. Save almost $500 on Chloe’s Janis Pump in a deep purple hue.
Naturally, we made sure to include a number of great picks from some of our favorite lower-cost retailers. Zara has a pair of knee-high boots both under $200. Those Mary Janes from FP Collection cost $178. G.H.BASS Weejuns Avery Loafers are priced at $195 through Anthropologie and & Other Stories’ classic leather biker boots come in under $180.
