With the winter season finally coming to a close, spring has arrived with many shoe trends blossoming. Read up on our shoe guide for spring/summer 2008; it will surely have you clicking your heels in excitement!
Springtime shoes
Shiny, shiny, shiny shoes of leather
Patent leather will be all the rage this spring; definitely eye-catching with its luminous sheen. Opt for original colours that will make the shiny finish stand out even more, and give your feet the attention they deserve!
Strap me in
A thin strap at the back of any shoe will add a touch of femininity to your look. Being able to show one’s foot gives shoes that springtime feel, and it’s a great middle-ground between closed shoes and sandals.
Grace of a ballerina
Just as cute as they are comfortable, ballerina flats are still very much in vogue this spring. Play with the different styles, patterns and colours to stand out from the crowd of other flat-wearers.
Open-toed
Whichever shoe or sandal you choose, give the open-toed style a try, as it will be all the rage this season. Plus, there’s no better way to show off that fabulous new pedicure!
Abstract shoe art
Funky prints not only work well on clothes and purses, but on shoes, as well. They add an original touch to any look.
Summer sandals
Cork it up!
Cork material is bursting into stores full-force for that ultimate summer look. Allow yourself a corked wedge or platform alongside a bright, show-stopping colour.
Bejewelled
Up the chic factor of your comfy flip-flops by choosing a pair that is embellished with stones or faux jewels. These will definitely make your feet stand out, as well as make any outfit pop.
Do as the Romans do
Super-flat soles and a T-strap are all a part of this season’s hot Gladiator look. Instead of a bland brown or beige, try a colourful sandal with a few accents to give this old old-school shoe a more up-to-date and feminine look.
