Shoes for Summer 2009

This year we have quite a few different styles of shoe to choose from, as is usually the case, as there are a whole lot of different women out there all with their unique tastes and needs.

I shall start off by saying that probably the trendiest foot wear on offer at the moment, and the one that seems to be appealing mostly to the young, is the summer boot, either with a heel so high that it could easily give you vertigo or the other extreme which is a completely flat heel. These boots reach just above the ankle and some go half way up the calf but the whole boot is made up of straps with buckles so that you get good ventilation!

Still continuing on from the last couple of years, as it has been such a popular shoe being so very flattering for most women’s feet, is the peep-toe. This summer you can find them in bright and vivid colours and again there are some with very high heels and others with low heels.
The wedge shoe, or as it was called in my days the platform shoe, is also very popular as it gives a woman height but without her needing to strain the angle of her foot in order to gain it. The platform or wedge is usually made out of cork or plaited raffia but there are also new and original materials being used such as clear plastic or even wood.

And for those ladies that just want to feel really comfortable there is nothing like the good old sandal with a strap round the toes and another round the ankle, although this has also been embellished so as not to look like the old sandal of the past. There are ones with silver coins stitched onto the straps, or beads, or feathers or anything that the imagination of the shoe maker could think of.
