Shoe Trends for Spring

I’m with the fraction of society that believes there is no such thing as too many shoes. My husband believes a person only needs two to three pairs of shoes for the majority of their adult life. This works out great because it means I have more space for shoes!
Here are some of my favorite shoe trends for spring: wedges, spring colors (blue, purple, metallic), flowers and bows, jewels, woven, and cut-outs.
Wedges never seem to go out of style and they never look the same from one season to the next. I enjoy both medium and high wedges; especially these strappy Sofft Lorenza ($103.95) and these crossover electric blue Rockport Monica II Crossband ($99.95).

The best spring colors for shoes are blues (like above), purples, and metallics. All three of which I love. There are various shades of purple but I especially love the deep shades like these comfortable looking Converse Chuck Taylor ($45) and the Matisse Holly ($61.95).

Metallics normally scream party in my ear but these titanium Marc Jacobs ($246) would bring some life to a boring suit. These metallic gold Kenneth Cole Reaction Kiss Or Dare ($79) combine two other trends; wedge and woven for a unique looking show to go with a maxi dress.

Flowers and bows add a feminine touch to shoes. I have to admit I was slow to warm up to this trend when it first started but I would not turn my nose up to these rose budded Nina Critia ($99.95) or ribboned D&G Dolce & Gabbana ($574).

Jeweled ornamentation has a princess like quality to it. It’s like having an accessory your shoes. The jewels work when they are both small or large or a combination of both. Like the BCB Generation Drama ($98.96) or the RSVP Pretty ($66.53). I especially love the large jewel on the RSVP — I would be staring at my feet a lot in these!

Woven details add visual texture that is appealing to look at but I find sometimes uncomfortable especially after you take them off and have the pattern etched in your feet. If it is on the heel all the better, like these Naya Mcloud ($129). Or these ones by Matt Bernson Woven Ankle Braid ($180) which have a the woven section lined.

Cutouts are extremely sexy and the styles are endless from flat the high heels. I love these edgy Maxstudio Frances ($125.84) in the natural shade for fun and the Indigo by Clarks Sylvie ($81) to match with business attire.

    When it comes to Uggs, people either love them or hate them.

    Feet sweat. They sweat more in summer. Did you live in your flip flops last year? Sweat and rubber are a great breeding ground. Chances are they are not going to survive the washer and giving them a wipe just isn’t going to kill those nasty bugs and odour. So toss ’em ladies! It’s time…

    I am in love with these chunky sandals from Dr Martens. They have the classic heftiness of their boots but are definitely all sandal. I even love the name — Clarissa. They have a chrome gladiator feel in my opinion even though they are listed as “pewter”. But they have a little more sole than…

  1. Oh I love Ballerinas! They are great for every kind of outfit. I am a really huge person and this is a great girly alternative to look great and feminin without high heels.
