After a long, cold winter in heavy boots and socks, spring has us craving footwear that feels a little fresher. We mean fresh literally. This season, our favorite shoes come in shades of mint. Credit for this shoe trend goes largely to Matthieu Blazy, who sent mint green pumps down his spring 2026 runway. They’ve already become a hot-ticket item, with plenty of showgoers wearing them on the streets of Paris in March.

But Blazy is hardly alone in showing mint south of the ankles (or above it, for that matter). At Prada, mint satin sneakers accompanied a khaki and yellow look, while Saint Laurent, Manolo Blahnik, and buzzy newcomer Herbert Levine have embraced the hue, too for spring and summer.
Not quite blue, nor a vibrant green, mint is poised to bring a welcome jolt to your spring wardrobes. The cool-toned pastel is soft, but not overly youthful, and pairs as easily with neutrals as it does with brights and metallics. Below, shop our favorite pairs of the season.
