Every sign brings something to the celestial table — and we bring a shoe to every sign. From cute sandals for women that you’ll find somewhere in the water signs to amazing ankle boots for The Archer, we see some perfect new shoes for your sign in the stars!
Leo | The Lion
Leo’s representation as a lion is thought to be linked with the lion slain by Heracles. That said, this passionate, proud, loyal and vivacious fire sign still comes off as the king (or queen) of the cosmic jungle.
For the Leo, we would embrace the natural grace that accompanies their proud and powerful stride with a moccasin-style sandal in either rich earthy tones or fun, fiery and vibrant colors. From bold beadwork on the foot strap to fierce fringes on your ankle strap, there’s no going wrong with this style if you have the right stuff.
Aries | The Ram
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac — and, as such, loves to be number one! Its representation as a ram is accurate, with Aries being bold, assertive, ambitious and loyal. An Aries will jump headfirst into the action, and they’ll make sure that they come out on top.
To aid them in action, amplify their abilities and allow for as much ambition as they have to offer, our top shoe pick for this sign is a classic (aka loyal) and capable pair of kicks. To keep your assertiveness in tact and accentuate your boldness, avoid runners and trainers and aim for cool, classic-cut canvas sneakers in courageous colors.
Sagittarius | The Archer
Sagittarius can most commonly be seen depicted as an arrow drawn across a bow, which couldn’t be any more appropriate for this sign, as Sagittarius aims its actions toward its ambition as if firing arrows. Intellectual endeavors and spiritual adventures are important for this sign, who is always on the hunt for knowledge.
We would adorn The Archer in desert boots or other cute ankle boots for year-round wear. This is because they (when purchased in a quality material like leather or suede) allow for any type of adventure, any environment and are durable enough that constant wear will only add character and make them cuter!
Taurus | The Bull
Taurus’ representation as a bull is arguably more appropriate than any other sign. This is because the Taurus tends to push through life with confidence and strength, delivers swift blows and moves, is practical and grounded, stays driven and can be very stubborn — but you can likely also catch them grazing on good food, relaxing, enjoying bucolic environments and being playful.
For the Taurus, we like a hardy, hightop shoe, like an Air Force 1, in an earthy tone and above-average material (for instance, nude leather). Something like this will let you showcase your confidence and strength through your solidly planted steps, show off your earth sign sensibilities to the world around you and simultaneously separate you as someone who knows what they like — and gets it. Not only that, but they will take you from city mall to country meadow!
Virgo | The Virgin
Virgo is represented as a young maiden with wheat and is widely identified as a fertility goddess or harvest maiden — an association that amplifies its deep-rooted presence in the physical realm and earth sign status. Virgos are practical, diligent and consistent, which often leads to them becoming perfectionists as well.
Embracing its practical and perfect presence in the physical world, we would put the Virgo into a pair of slip-on shoes like Toms, in a sweet and simple earth tone lace, floral pattern or soft colored suede.
Capricorn | The Goat
Capricorn is represented by the sea goat but embodies a greater amount of goat qualities. Aside from being an earth sign, Capricorn is constantly concerned with climbing mountains and making progress. That said, they know patience and perseverance are paramount in doing so.
Because of their consistency, comfort, subtle style and perseverance in the face of wear, comfortable flats in smart styles and durable materials should complement the Capricorn well!
Libra | The Scales/Balance
Libra is represented by a set of scales, and interestingly enough, is the only sign represented by an inanimate object. The scales reflect Libra’s obsession with establishing equilibrium, balance, harmony and justice.
With Libra’s elegant, traditional and virtuous traits in mind, elegant and classic seems like the perfect style for this sign. With a little bit of extra comfort and the ability to be casual (to account for their drive), a loafer will be a lifelong love for the Libra!
Aquarius | The Water Bearer
Aquarius is commonly depicted as a man pouring a stream of water out of a jug. Despite this, though, and despite having “aqua” directly in its name, Aquarius is actually the final air sign of the zodiac. An Aquarius tends to be inspired, innovative, assertive and unrivaled in their revolutionary abilities and mindsets.
This sign has a strong calling — and it’s killer cute combat boots! No matter what mood they’re in, this is a style that’s sure to make the cut into their outfit. So from simple, subtle, weathered leather combat boots to something shinier, spikier and even more unapologetically punk, there’s never been a shoe-to-sign pairing more perfect.
Cancer | The Crab
Cancer is known as the crab — an association that accurately represents its ability to shift between the sea and shore, or, the emotional and material realms. This is a sign that’s highly intellectual, emotional and intuitive, but like its hard-shelled depiction, can be hard to crack into and get to the emotion inside.
Equally hard can be getting this sign out of the house! So for Cancer, we suggest a simple, subtly styled slide. This will make going out as easy as slipping into their shoes, the subtle style will help them feel secure and shelled and an unrivaled quality will perfectly align with THEIR qualities.
Gemini | The Twins
Gemini is represented by a set of twins, which are often interpreted as the Gemini’s dual personalities. Generally speaking, though, the Gemini tends to be spontaneous and playful. This is driven by curiosity, as is their tendency to stay busy.
For the Gemini, we see platform sandals in playful colors — perfect for keeping them looking as pretty as they do playful, taking them anywhere when they’re busy and letting them keep bouncing in excitement.

Scorpio | The Scorpion
Scorpio’s representation is (you guessed it) a scorpion, and is tied to the Greek legend of the scorpion that stung Orion — which is also said to be why Orion sets as Scorpius rises. Elusive, mysterious and misunderstood, the Scorpio is excellent at using emotional energy to attain wisdom, courage and tap into its psychic abilities.
For the Scorpio, something soft, mysterious and romantic combined with a bit of edge and energy will be an extraordinary boost to the soul! As soon as we think “Scorpio,” we see soft, sexy, strappy black suede or velvet heels.
Pisces | The Fish
Pisces is commonly seen as two fish swimming in opposite directions that represent the division of Pisces between fantasy and reality — feeling and dreaming equally. Pisces is pronounced as the most inspired, intuitive, sensitive and empathetic sign, also often leaving them much more feminine, creative or quirky than most. As the final sign, it’s believed that this special water sign has absorbed all other lessons learned by the other signs.
As unique as this sign is, sweet Pisces is sensitive to what is suitable for situations and is always shifting mindsets, so a simple style that can shift as they do will be essential! Something like a subtle and stylish, flat, black leather sandal with a single strap will suit this sign well — keeping them comfortable, letting them shift settings and mindsets with ease, giving them the chance to show off their mood in a subtle and tricky way like through their toenails and working as water shoes when they inevitably find their way to some.
