The Rumors Are True: Peep-Toe Pumps Are Making a Chic Comeback in 2025

Just when I thought I’d seen every controversial trend under the sun making a comeback—from skinny pants to round-toe shoes—the runways go and shock me to my core with their latest revival. I’ll preface this by saying that the jury is still out on my personal feelings towards the style, but there’s one thing I know for sure, and that is whether I like it or not, peep-toe shoes are officially on their way back. The spring/summer 2025 collections were resolute in their support of the look, with designers across the style spectrum from Prada to Tory Burch to ACNE Studios showcasing their unique takes.

At Khaite, round-toe glove pumps were sliced right down the center to reveal a mere hint of skin. Similarly, at Tory Burch, the pumps featured conservative cutouts right at the big toes. These two specific styles are what we’re already predicting to be key buys when they hit the market next season. Alternately, at Miu Miu and Prada, the silhouettes were steeped in nostalgia for the versions circa 2009 when the trend was last popular. In fact, the Prada pairs were lifted right from the archives, including a fall/winter 2008 version.
