San Diego Comic-Con 2024 was a whirlwind of excitement, and while the focus was on groundbreaking trailers and star-studded panels, the footwear was equally worthy of attention. From classic superhero boots to classic strappy sandals, the footwear at this year’s event truly stole the show. Here’s a look at some of the best shoe moments from the convention, featuring the actors and films that made headlines.

Florence Pugh made an appearance at the Marvel Studios Panel for her upcoming film “Thunderbolts,” held at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday. The talented actress, known for her bold fashion choices, did not disappoint, stepping out in a striking ensemble that perfectly blended high fashion with a touch of superhero glam. Pugh wore a black David Koma minidress from the label’s resort 2025 collection. Pugh opted for a pair of metallic knee-high slouch boots that were croc embossed. These boots not only added an edge to her ensemble but also highlighted one of the season’s hottest trends: statement boots.

The distinctive design of these pumps added a striking element to Corrin’s sophisticated look.

Skai Jackson

Skai Jackson slipped into a pair of strappy sandals while making an appearance at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday afternoon, which she teamed with a matching striped blouse and shorts set. Jackson’s sandals were characterized by two straps on the upper that crisscrossed over the front part of her foot. A separate strap was present around her ankle, with a buckle fastening that allowed for extra security while walking.
