Alert your shoe rack – big things are coming its way. Our buyers are constantly scouting new brands, and the ones below? Well, these up-and-comers should be on your radar.

Modern Vintage: This brand combines old inspiration with new (hence the name). Influenced by generations of fashion and pop culture, Modern Vintage styles often incorporate rare leathers and antique details.

Matt Bernson: Hello, wanderlust. This NYC-based designer uses global prints and textures to create one free-spirited collection. But you’ll still feel right at home on the city sidewalks – these shoes are built to last.

Leon Max: This line mixes European heritage and cutting-edge materials. With design studios in L.A., London, and New York, Leon Max gives you the best of three very different fashion worlds.

House of Harlow 1960: With It girl Nicole Richie at the helm, this brand’s trendy embellishments and red-carpet-ready shoe silhouettes suit both everyday strolls and front-row appearances.

Carolinna Espinosa: What makes a great shoe? Comfort, versatility, and quality. This feminine label has all three down pat. As an added cool factor, it takes its name from an elegant trendsetter who lived in Spain.

Now that you have the 411, run (don’t walk) to stock up for the season. Our Shoe Brands to Watch: Modern Vintage & More Boutique opened Friday, October 31, at 11AM ET.
