Get a sweet treat for your feet with these Halloween sneakers. Here’s a handful of our favorite Halloween shoes, all outfitted in various shades of orange, purple or black.

It’s the Great Pumpkin

Not everything about the season screams spooky or scary. Case in point: These women’s Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT 2 shoes are offered in Pine Green, Orange Blaze and Muslin. Autumn is bustling with cooler-weather activities, and whether you’re going to a school fall festival, taking the fam to a pumpkin patch or indulging in some self-care with your favorite pumpkin-spiced beverage, you’ll want to slip on a pair of these delish, pumpkin-themed sneakers.

Stranger Things

Stranger Things

Something’s amiss in Hawkins, Indiana. Take a trip to the Upside Down (or just to your neighbor’s house for a Halloween party), battle a Demogorgon and encounter the telepathy of Eleven. To do any of those things requires a 1980s Halloween costume right out of Netflix’s “Stranger Things.” For your mission, you’ll need a bit of courage and a pair of black Vans Halloween shoes that can get you out of sticky situations — Old Skool style, naturally.

Jordan-O-Lantern

Want your shoes to channel the same smile as the jack-o-lantern perched on your porch? A pair of Jordan 1 Elevate Low sneakers exude Halloween vibes with their white and orange makeup and that large black Swoosh swooping like a smile across the quarter panels.

Comfort for the Season

Comfort for the Season

Sometimes, you just need a classic Halloween shoe that matches your costume and is as comforting and familiar to you as the sweet potato casserole or pumpkin pie your mom or grandma makes this time of year. The Air Jordan 12 Retros in orange and black give you that taste of vintage comfort, all with a heavy hit of Brilliant Orange.

Toasty Toes

Pumpkin-spiced all-the-things aside, the Halloween season is the beginning of the cozy months. Sweaters, long pants, jackets and warm socks are all on the list of must-haves to get through the shorter days and longer nights. Like a crackling campfire or the ambiance your fireplace brings, the orange and Cinnabar Nike VaporMax Plus bring the heat with their comforting, fiery colorway.

Purple People Eater

Purple People Eater

The old song is catchy, sure, but if you’ve never seen the 1988 “Purple People Eater” movie, just know it’s the stuff of nightmares. Looking for some dark purple-colored boots to add to your Halloween looks? We’ve got you covered with Timberlands. These deep purple Halloween boots offer the same legendary durability and construction, and their colorway may have you shaking in your boots with fright (especially if you encounter a one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater).

Fright Night

Need some stealthy shoes for moonwalking like MJ (the other MJ)? Want to unleash your best Wednesday Addams just in time for the season? Looking to spook all the neighbors in your best Michael Myers costume? Go with a pair of black Brooks Halloween shoes available in the appropriately named “Ghost” silhouette. These tonal running-slash-walking shoes are comfy, versatile and sometimes frightening, depending on where you wear them.
