Just like pointed-toe flats and lace-up mules, peep-toe shoes have made their way back onto the market, and they’re (thankfully) pulling us out of our comfort zone. We saw them teased on Tory Burch’s Fall/Winter 2024 runway, where subtly placed cutouts lay atop the label’s pierced heels, before emerging on the Spring/Summer 2025 runway more closely resembling the traditional peep-toe silhouette in patent leather. Khaite and Miu Miu also sent their own versions of a peep toe down the Spring/Summer 2025 runways, from bright white pumps to Studio 54-esque metallic-gold slingbacks.
With the weather slowly starting to warm up, why not show some skin—or at least a toe? Below, we’ve shopped out the best peep-toe shoes to add to your wardrobe this spring. From signature flats that can handle a busy weekday commute to sky-high pumps that can elevate the occasion, these styles will help you quickly break out of your style rut.

Tory Burch has nailed the corporate cool wardrobe, and these flats are the perfect example. A riff on the pierced slingback mules that went viral last fall, these butter-yellow flats offer a commute-friendly alternative that is still just as striking. Take its funky vibes to the next level with a polka dot slip layered under a shrunken crewneck cardigan, and finish off with a belted trench.
Material: leather, metal hardware
Sizes: 5–12
Colors: cream corn, perfect black, plum
Phillip Lim’s sculpted slingback is a work of art that’s actually wearable, thanks to the thick block heel and wide vamp. These are perfect for days when you want to keep your look polished and elevated long after you clock out.
Material: leather
Sizes: 5–11
Colors: black, white
The star of Khaite’s Eva pump isn’t the staggering four-inch heel (which will also command attention) but its subtle blink-and-you-almost-miss-it peep toe. The Tabi-like slit doesn’t expose a lot of skin, which is what makes it appealing, especially for those on the fence when it comes to “toe cleavage.” However, you can easily make it pop by wearing colorful tights underneath.
Material: leather
Sizes: 6–12
Colors: black, optic white
Where do we start? Reformation’s eye-catching mule features a chic, slanted kitten heel and a rounded peep toe, and it’s made from luxuriously soft leopard-print calf hair. Pair with an oversize bomber jacket and slick capris for a sexy laid-back look that is perfect for a special date night.
Material: calf hair, leather
Sizes: 5–11
Colors: leopard, almond
This editor-approved mule offers another subtle take on the re-emerging footwear trend. “I have my eye on investing in Alaïa’s sleek peep-toe heels in white for spring,” writes Bazaar’s senior commerce content lead, Julie Tong. “The mules’ architectural silhouette helps give the peep-toe detail a modern touch. I know I’ll be able to style these elegant heels for a multitude of occasions this year: work, weddings, and beyond.”
Material: leather
Sizes: 6-11
Colors: Blanc casse, black
Guiseppe Zanotti’s sultry slingback stiletto features a geometric topline that offers a nice contrast to the extremely pointed insole. This isn’t an everyday pump but rather a shoe for special occasions.
Material: patent leather
Sizes: 4–12
Colors: black, red, gray, and two more
Made from a glossy cherry-red patent leather, Louboutin’s staggering heel (which features the brand’s trademark red bottom) is perfect for elevating any evening look and shaking off what’s remaining of the winter blues.
Material: patent leather
Sizes: 5–11.5
Colors: brownie, black
Dries Van Noten’s asymmetric-heel sandal poses the question “What happens when you shift the traditionally centered peep toe to the side?” The answer: a fresh new take on the classic silhouette that looks just as good with a vintage-wash jean and a T-shirt as it does with a structured cocktail slip.
From tailored two-piece suits and power hips to sharp top-handle bags, the ’80s are back and better than ever. Lean fully back in with Miu Miu’s metallic-gold peep-toe pump.
Material: leather
Sizes: 5–11
Color: platino nero
Wedges might be just as divisive as peep toes, so pairing the two together may sound nothing short of ridiculous, but Larroudé’s Yves proves two alleged wrongs do indeed make a right. Pair with a bootcut jean and an oversize knit for full indie sleaze.
Material: patent leather
Sizes: 5–11
Colors: black, burnt umber, ivory, and four more
Prada’s sky-high platform heels narrow the toe-box opening into a soft peep toe that’s perfect for showing off a little more skin than usual. The buttery soft nappa-leather uppers feature the brand’s iconic logo for a subtle nod to everyday luxury.
Material: nappa leather
Sizes: 4–12
Colors: black, ivory
