Why Customisable Shoes Are Trending Right Now (& How To Style Them)

From bag charms to phone case chains, fashion girls everywhere are personalising all their accessories like we’re back in the 90s. Enter: customisable footwear, the trend that’s taking over social media.

Now, if you somehow haven’t seen the ‘my shoes as a…’ trend on TikTok, fashion lovers are leaning into pieces they can tweak, accessorise, and style their own way, instead of just buying shoes that look exactly like everyone else’s. 

Think quirky colours, interchangeable charms, decorative buckles, jibbitz, layered socks, and unexpected styling combos that instantly make even the simplest outfit look more unique.

Here are some of the cutest and easiest to style options we’re loving:

1. Crocs’ Elevated Sandals & Clogs

If you still associate Crocs with only comfy errand shoes, consider this your sign to revisit the brand with their newer releases. These looks tap into the whole practical and clean aesthetic that works whether you’re dressing up or down.

Not into the busy, crazy patterns and colours? The Soho Y Strap Sandal is for you. It has a sleek silhouette that feels polished enough for brunch dates and casual office days, paired with that signature Crocs comfort.

Plus, it’s easy to style with everything—wide-legged pants, feminine skirts and dresses, or even oversized pieces for the effortless weekend look. We recommend adding beachy jewellery, simple anklets, or shiny Jibbitz to jazz things up with a little boho chic.

Okay, we’re all familiar with the Classic Crocs clog. Whether you love or hate them, these are having a major comeback moment. The Enamel Buckle Clog comes with a glossy buckle detailing that instantly elevates the silhouette, making it feel more street style-coded than purely comfy and practical.

This is the kind of shoe that works when you want your outfit to look intentionally styled without compromising on convenience. 

Add some cute Jibbitz charms in pastel shades for a playful look, and pair them with your fave oversized graphic tee and crew socks (especially if you’re heading somewhere with AC!) for a quick bit of cuteness, or finish the look with a shoulder bag and tiny sunglasses combo to get a more polished vibe.

2. Pashion’s Convertible Heels and Flats

In case you haven't seen these revolutionary heels on your feed, Pashion is the answer to every girl who's ever regretted wearing heels halfway through a wedding, work function, or night out!

What makes them different? Their signature design lets you switch from heels to flats in seconds by removing the heel attachment, so you get the elevated look when you want it and comfy flats when your feet have officially had enough. You can also mix-and-match different types of heels with the same shoe base to create different looks.

It's also the perfect option for anyone who loves dressing up but hates carrying backup shoes everywhere. Honestly, where was this technology when we were suffering through events in sky-high stilettos?

The Slingback Buckle

If you're someone who loves a timeless, stylish silhouette that works for multiple occasions, The Slingback Buckle might just be your new favourite shoe.

This versatile style goes with practically everything and is available in easy-to-match shades like ivory, black, latte, and baby blue. The pointed toe gives it a refined feel, while the soft leather and delicate buckle detail keep it elegant and understated. It already comes with two attachments: the Slingback flats and 1.5" Ivory blocks, but you can pair it with the Flare Stiletto Heel Kit for a higher heel, or the Metallic Heel Kit for a statement piece.

We love it styled with tailored trousers and a relaxed button-down for work, but it looks just as good with a slip skirt, a midi dress, or even straight-leg jeans and a blazer.

The Sandy

For a more casual piece, look to the sandal-esque form of The Sandy. This open-toed style is airy and comfy, perfect for everyday wear when running errands or going about your day in Singapore's humid weather. It's available in a nude latte shade, as well as a darker, elegant walnut brown.

As with all Pashion's shoes, it comes with two attachments: Tan Flat Caps and a 3" Block Walnut Heel Kit. For an instant conversation starter, pair The Sandy with a fun heel attachment, like the Candy Hearts Block or Bee Charm Block. Alternatively, you can also dress it up for a formal occasion with something delicate-looking, like the Sand Gold Floral Embroidery Block.

3. VIVAIA’s Subtle Sneakerinas

If your ideal shoe is something you can actually walk in all day without thinking about it, VIVAIA’s Cristina Sneakerina is very much the right fit. It's a soft, satin ballet flat with a modern square toe—minimal, slightly sporty, and easy to pair with just about everything in your wardrobe.

Designed with a barely-there 0.7cm heel, a flexible barefoot-like sole, and a super lightweight build, it’s ideal for those who are always on the go and need shoes that feel comfy while looking put-together and elegant!

The inside is just as comfortable, with a suede-like insole and an elastic back that prevents rubbing (read: no awkward blister moments halfway through the day). Plus, it's machine-washable?! We know that's a total game-changer when it comes to upkeeping the cleanliness of our shoes.

And then there’s the fun part: customisation! Cristina comes with two sets of shoelaces, so you can switch between clean flat laces or fun mesh ribbon laces depending on your mood. You can also play around with two-tone lacing styles or add-on dainty shoe charms if you're in the mood for something a little more personal.
