Spring 2010: Hot Shoe Trends

| Sunday May 2, 2010

Shoes are the ultimate accessory to any outfit, so it’s hardly surprising that women tend to go a tad nuts when it comes to purchasing the perfect pair, closets overrun with heels, boots, sandals, runners, strappies, Converse, stilettos, pumps, and gladiators. For women living in climates hampered by Winter's imprisonment of all shoes gorgeous and (slightly) impractical, the warmer weather paroles beloved classics and eagerly invites the latest additions to the party.

Spring 2010 is releasing these 'bad boys':

(from left) Alexander Wang 'Freja', Nine West 'Buren', Aldo 'Caneles'

We spotted this look on trendsetter Kim Kardashian, a feminine upgrade to an otherwise masculine form. She opted for Alexander Wang's 'Freja' boot ($675 USD); Nine West's 'Buren' is more affordable at $139 USD and Aldo 'Caneles' is a steal at $90 CAD/USD.

(clockwise from top) Jil Sander brogues, Steve Madden 'Tuxxedo', Kate + Mel oxfords

Flats take a chicly conservative turn, from splurge Jil Sander's $570 USD creamy classic to Kate + Mel's eye catching oxfords ($115 CAD) and Steve Madden's cognac 'Tuxxedo' ($70 USD).

(from left) Miu Miu Dove-print, Tory Burch 'Brayden', Steve Madden 'Daynty'

Chanel brought clogs to the runway during its Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion Week in Paris. Miu Miu's version ($495 USD) features the dove-print design, quickly becoming a signature look; Tory Burch's slingback ($295 USD) is easy on the eyes, as is 'Daynty' by Steve Madden ($100 USD).

(from left) Jimmy Choo 'Quito', Aldo 'Kitzrow', Nine West 'Tautou'

Strappy cutouts and caged sandals return for Spring/Summer 2010, from the seductive 'Quito' by Jimmy Choo ($995 USD) to Aldo's 'Kitzrow' ($135 CAD/$125 USD) and Nine West's 'Tautou' ($140 CAD/$100 USD).
