With summer nearly in the rearview mirror, now is the time to start shopping around for a fresh pair of shoes to usher in the return to school, the office, or even an upcoming vacation. As if on cue, Cariuma — a celeb- and traveler-loved brand known for its unbeatably comfortable footwear — dropped an impressive collection of new styles worth shopping to kick off September; from boat shoes to loafers, we have a feeling you’re going to have trouble narrowing down your top pick.
The brand, which has been spotted on the likes of Jon Hamm, Ashton Kutcher, Brooke Shields, and more, is known for its sustainable approach to footwear that also effortlessly marries style and comfort into the perfect streetwear sneakers. So, since certain Cariuma shoes have been known to rack up a sizable waitlist, we selected the 10 best recent releases you’ll want to shop before they’re gone. Just make sure to use the exclusive code FORWARD to earn access to some of the new styles like the Maré Boat Shoes and the Caju Loafers so you can snatch up the shoes of your dreams before they sell out.
Maré Boat Shoes
Boat shoes are making a miraculous comeback after their time in the sun during the early 2000s, and this updated take is both comfortable and practical as we head into the fall. The interiors of these loafers are fitted with Cariuma’s classic cork insoles that are designed to mold to your unique foot shape for a pillowy, supportive walking experience. Meanwhile, the casual yet timeless exteriors are made from a durable Nubuck fabric that will carry you from season to season without wearing down or requiring replacement. Slip-resistant rubber outsoles are perfect for wear on boats, slick cobblestone streets, or even through the airport, plus they’re available in navy, mocha, and white, covering all the bases with your favorite neutrals.
Caju Loafers
Boasting a similar design as Cariuma’s newly launched boat shoes, these loafers are an equally fall-ready style that can be worn with anything from khakis to a maxi dress, making them the perfect versatile footwear choice for travel. Currently available for pre-order, these fuss-free shoes are worth the wait: they’re made with reliable anti-slip outsoles paired with a sleek, wearable silhouette made from high-quality suede that’s sourced from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG). The slip-on design is practically designed for busy days rushing around a new city, and the shoes hold up to Cariuma’s reputation of being comfortable straight from the box — even if you don’t have time to break them in before your trip. Snag a pair in the classy Withered Rose shade, or take your pick from one of the four other available colors.
Oca Low Metallic Silver Leather Sneakers
The Oca Low style is one of Cariuma’s most highly-regarded sneaker options for instant comfort and incomparable style, and it’s now available in an eye-catching metallic shade that’s sure to amplify any outfit you’ve packed in your suitcase. Shoppers can pre-order these bold sneakers to arrive later this month, and thanks to the slim, packable shape and buttery soft exterior, we’re certain you’ll find them worth waiting for. If ever there was a shoe built for comfort, it’s the Oca Lows. Cork and foam insoles mold to your foot shape, offering cloud-like cushioning with every step, and slip-resistant rubber outsoles provide assurance that you can traverse any terrain in style. And while the metallic silver shade has yet to earn reviews, take it from the style’s 1,500-plus five-star ratings that you won’t be disappointed — and may even have found your new favorite travel shoes.
Oca Low Dark Denim Premium Leather Sneakers
Not only is the Oca Low style now available in vibrant metallics, but shoppers can also snag the top-rated shoe in the perfect dark denim leather, with pre-orders shipping by September 20. These unisex sneakers offer sizing ranging from 5 to 13 (including half sizes), and feature all the must-have facets of a good walking shoe: cushy insoles, blister-resistant collars, and reliable, slip-resistant outsoles. This fresh denim shade will seamlessly fit in with the darker colors of typical fall apparel, and whether you’re wearing them to the airport or around town while running errands, they’re sure to become the first pair of shoes you reach for time and time again. Not to mention, the style has even earned a 4.8-star average.
Uba Pro Dark Khaki Sneakers
Skater-style sneakers needn’t be relegated to skaters, and in fact, Cariuma encourages shoppers to experience the supreme comfort of the new Uba Pro release just in time for fall. The khaki exterior of these warm-toned seasonal sneakers are accented with pops of black and orange to make for the perfect footwear selection for Halloween season, all while providing the comfort you need in a good everyday shoe. The Uba Pro style is made with the brand’s first-ever cup sole that cradles your feet for impressive reinforcement and support with every step, so whether you’re skating or embarking on a miles-long walking tour, you’ll be happy with your shoe choice. Slip-resistant rubber outsoles will prove to be an asset if you’re caught in the rain while exploring your destination, and they’ll certainly add a cool factor to every outfit in your suitcase.
Naioca Withered Rose Sneakers
If you’re in the market for a simple pair of slip-on sneakers with a bold pop of color, the Cariuma Naioca shoe in its new Withered Rose shade is an unbeatable option, so don’t hesitate to pre-order now. This style is designed to mimic the sensation of walking barefoot while providing essential support and protection, and it’s safe to say it won’t disappoint thanks to smooth, high-quality suede exteriors, and unbeatable out-of-the-box comfort. The sneakers are also available in nine other warm and bright shades to usher in the new season.
Oca High Stripe Leopard Print Suede Sneakers
Leopard print is back in a big way this fall, and paired with the unbelievably stylish Oca High cut, you won’t have any trouble racking up compliments from the moment you step out of the house. Handy loops at the heels of these shoes make them easy to slide on and off in a pinch (a must-have for air travel), while a cushy, lightweight construction makes them perfectly packable. The cork and foam insoles will cradle your feet, leaving you feeling fresh for hours on end; even the toe boxes are created with comfort in mind, allowing your feet to spread out without feeling pinched. Are they the perfect high-top shoes? Shoppers certainly seem to think so — they’ve even earned nearly 1,000 five-star ratings.
Vallely Jagger Eaton Leather Sneakers
Another skater-inspired style, the Vallely sneakers are a must-have addition to your fall footwear collection. Of course, there’s always space for a basic, white sneaker on any packing list, but pops of red and blue on this otherwise understated pair help them to stand out — and take your travel wardrobe to new heights. They’re made with thoughtful detailing like slip-resistant rubber outsoles, smooth leather exteriors, and cork and foam insoles; plus, they feature wide toe boxes so your feet will never feel squished or restricted. Just don’t wait too long to add them to your cart since sizes are already limited, speaking to the style and comfort of these elevated white sneakers.
Salvas White LWG Leather and Suede Sneakers
If you love the look of the leopard print trend but aren’t quite ready to jump in with two feet, the new Salvas drop will allow you to dip your toes into the style without overwhelming your senses. This gorgeous pair styles impeccably well with jeans, maxi skirts, dresses, and beyond, and its largely white structure is accented with pops of leopard material that make it a stunning addition to your fall packing list. The heels of these shoes are cushioned and comfy straight from the box without causing blisters, and supportive insoles ensure you’ll never want to take them off. And if you’re not partial to bold prints but still love the Salvas style, fret not — this shoe is also available in 14 other shades, most of which feature simple, white bases.
Salvas Kids White Premium Sneakers
Whether you’re drawn to the idea of matching shoes with your child or simply believe that your kid’s footwear should be just as comfy as your own, snag the new Salvas kids style, complete with Velcro straps and an easy slip-on design. The cushy (and frankly adorable) shoes are available in sizes from K6 to Y2 in either leather or canvas fabrics, and they can be bought in a bundle with your own shoes to take on the first vacation with your kiddo in style. Your fall family photoshoot is about to become even more highly anticipated than the trip itself.
