Animal prints have long been popular in fashion. Since the 1940s, when Christian Dior added leopard print to its collection, making it the most recognizable of all animal prints, these eye-catching designs have been a mainstay in fashionable wardrobes. By the end of 2024, leopard print has experienced a significant comeback, appearing in dresses, tops, handbags, shoes, and fall/winter 2024 collections. However, there has been a discernible change in preferences in recent months, particularly with regard to shoes. It’s obvious why fashion insiders are choosing snakeskin-print shoes over leopard-print ones.
The effect of the recent fall/winter 2025 exhibitions is largely responsible for its success. Designers like as Khaite used the print to spruce up simple ensembles with a range of shoe types, from pumps to boots. Others, like Tod’s and Miu Miu, blended the unique design with other striking prints. The best-dressed celebrities in Hollywood have also started to follow the trend, wearing snakeskin shoes in places like London, Los Angeles, and New York. This has prompted companies and stores to add new printed versions to their inventory.
Therefore, continue reading if you want to follow the trend (pun intended). Check out the street and runway styles of the shoes below. Next, browse our selection of the top snake-print footwear.

Their eye-catching fabrics and elaborate patterns make a compelling statement that uplifts any ensemble.
