The reemergence of open-toe shoes is a better indicator of spring than whether or not that groundhog sees his shadow. And after opening my Instagram to see yet another pair of pedicured toes poking out from some pumps, I feel confident not only reporting that warm weather is on the horizon, but that a certain shoe is about to be everywhere.

Since the start of 2025, I’ve seen more and more stars reaching for peep-toe heels, with everyone from Elle Fanning to Martha Stewart wearing the shoes that offer the smallest peek at a pedi. And in the past week, the style’s popularity has really started to ramp up, with both Jennifer Lopez and Gabrielle Union wearing the subtly sexy shoes.

Offering a little more coverage than a classic strappy pump, the peep-toe heel feels perfect for spring when you want to show a little but not too much skin. So I went shopping for the style, and found nine heels that I’d gladly add to my wardrobe today.

9 Peep-Toe Heels

Lutalica Peep-Toe Slingback Heels

I fell in love with Gabrielle Union’s cherry red pumps the moment I saw them, so I’m really considering grabbing this lookalike pair that’s just $65 at Amazon. This style can instantly elevate an outfit thanks to its classic look, sharp heel, and shiny red finish; though if red isn’t your thing, you can snag this in 14 other colors. While that stiletto might be intimidating, shoppers say that the shoe is surprisingly comfortable thanks to its cushioned insole.

French Connection Ritz Mesh Kitten Heels

If a sky-high pump isn’t your thing, you’ll want to grab these kitten heels from French Connection. Between that small heel and the style’s cushioned footbed, these are definitely going to be the most walkable on the list. But we aren’t forfeiting beauty for practicality here; the mesh upper on this shoe is finished with an ornate, sequined floral design.

Tory Burch Pierced Peep-Toe Slingback Heels

Tory Burch’s pierced peep-toe heels are my obsession, and I’m not alone; if the shoes aren’t already in a fashion editor’s closet, they’re on their wishlist. The style takes a black slingback and puts a giant gold hoop through it; it’s a detail that adds a cool, modern edge without taking away from the classic shoe’s versatility.

I’m booking a pedicure ASAP so that I can start rocking spring’s ‘It’ heel. Shop more peep-toe styles, below.
