It may be politically incorrect to say this, but let's face it: women
are genetically predisposed to lust after shoes. While the closet may
already be overflowing with shoes that are rarely worn, they're
nonetheless always on the lookout for more. And when there's a sale,
today's woman will be there, no matter what, because...well, they're on
sale. And if she comes across a pair of shoes she truly falls in love
with, consider them sold-even if it means peanut butter and jelly
lunches and spaghetti or tuna casserole dinners for a month.
Women are well aware that what they put on their feet can either
make an outfit or destroy it. So can anything be done about this mad
obsession with footwear? Fortunately, current styles are paving the way
toward shoes that fit the most discerning woman's criteria for fashion
while at the same time remaining surprisingly affordable. And at the
same time they're keeping costs down, designers are finally making
shoes designed for comfort as well as looks. Sandal heels have been
shortened considerably, with some sporting a paper-thin platform heel.
The hottest shoes this season will feature more attention to price and
comfort then ever before.
Flip-flops are the first harbinger of warm weather. They're nice
and flat, and since they're now being worn by many men as well as
women, they're quite affordable. Of course, there are also more
expensive varieties featuring jewelry, and many designs show their
South American influence that has already been integrated into
handbags, clothing, and other accessories. The current trend for
flip-flops is a small heel with an ankle strap, possibly including a
rhinestone buckle. Keep in mind that your feet will be the center of
attention when wearing an open-toed shoe, so be sure to keep your
pedicure up to date.
A good buy can also be had this summer on ballet flats, in anything
from plain and sweet to leopard print. You can go from the boardwalk to
the boardroom in these shoes and still look great, and the best part is
you really will be able to wear them everywhere because a shoe of such
simple construction is exceptionally comfortable. These shoes provide
the versatility to be worn literally anywhere, as either casual or
business attire. They can make you imagine yourself a demure princess
or a graceful ballerina as you slip your feet into them.
A low-key style that bridges the gap between complete practicality
and sexy femininity is sling-back flats. A prerequisite of any great
summer shoe is that it can be worn with anything from a business suit
to shorts and a tank top or peasant blouse. The popularity of last
summer's big hit, espadrille sandals, continues this season as well.
For a look with staying power, try pairing this shoe's sexy style with
a cork or bamboo wedge heel. This type of shoe, with a solid heel
construction, provides great support and will enable you to wear them
all day long in comfort. This style of shoe is available in canvas,
cotton, linen, and a variety of other materials, so you're sure to find
a color and style that pleases.
Well, there's a good start for the summer season-you're sure to
find some great shoes that won't require a home equity loan but will
still be great looking and comfortable. Let your feet to the walking
AND the talking during this carefree time of the year.
