Men’s Shoes

Shoes are a popular item for women to add to their wardrobes. Some women boast a plethora of shoes in their wardrobe. Many however do not realize that shoes can be just as important for men as they are for women. While it is true that some may not place a high importance on mens shoes and simply have only a few pairs, there are others that have a great deal more.

Shoes are created with different styles, materials, colours and even for different purposes.

This is true whether they are for women or men. When buying shoes for themselves, there are some basic styles that men can purchase. One of these is what is known as a smart shoe. These are those simple shoes either in black or brown that can be worn daily to work. They can be worn with comfort and are available in many styles. These shoes last for years and never go out of style. They are basic shoes that should be found in every man’s closet.

Another type of mens shoes are loafers. There are extremely comfortable and can easily be slipped on and off. They come in many different colours. It is often wise to purchase a different colour than your smart shoes. This will give you another colour of shoe to accompany other outfits.

A type of shoe that should be in a man’s shoe collection are trainers. These work well not only for exercise but can serve just about any other purpose such as shopping or socializing. Most men that have limited shoe collections definitely have a pair of mens trainers.

A fourth sort of shoe are shoes that can be worn in warm weather. These would include flip-flops and sandals. During warmer month, these shoes are idea to properly allow your feet to air. They also are convenient to wear and slide on and off with little effort.

Walking shoes are another sort of shoe that may be added to a man’s closet. These are shoes made for walking mainly longer distances. Some may even refer to them as hiking shoes.

Touch the Sky with Fendi High Heels

Talking about Insa Bold Heels last week we meant bold colors and design, today I came across a picture of another variant of bold shoes. They are bold by incredible heel height. So girls, let’s check who is bold enough to try on super high heels.

The idea of creating such shoes belongs to the Fendi brand. These luxurious ankle boots were designed specially for those who are afraid to be unnoticed yet are not afraid of height. You can be sure that such a breathtaking heel will raise you to a new style level.
The booties feature a gorgeous, thoroughly designed shape, elegant lines and a high platform. But what attracts attention in this ensemble first of all is a faceted heel. Though the heel has geometrical shape its top has smooth lines so it doesn’t look rough. There is no doubt that an unbelievable height of a heel is a protagonist of this masterpiece. In spite of it the bootie is quite steady and comfortable.

The upper of a bootie is girdled with a strap that makes an emphasis on elegant shapes of the model. Fendi designers added a small metal buckle on the strap for additional spice and style. As a result, we can see an elegant, refined, trendy pair of ankle boots.
The idea of Fendi designers was to create an impressive design not driving attention to materials. That’s why, the booties are made of unshowy black suede. Otherwise, the model would risk being tasteless and too flashy. However, suede material adds chick and stylish look.

Well, is anybody ready to try on these marvelous and bold heels? To my mind, it is necessary to be prepared for such an experiment. But at the same time looking at the models going bravely in such heels I come to the conclusion that it is possible. So if you decided to do that, go with confidence and pride because everybody’s eyes will be turned to you.

S/S 2010: London Fashion Week

London Fashion Week 2010, which took place lately, rejoiced fashion lovers by bright and bold offers. It differs a lot from the previous Fashion Week when restrained and practical models prevailed. Shoe designers seem to get tired of gloomy fall tints and World Economic Crisis influence. Spring – Summer Collections oppose to such gloominess. This time designers have decided to give vent to their rich and unlimited imagination. Here are the first results of their work.

Today we would like to pay attention to Roksanda Ilincic collection. Her shoes feature unique style and elegance. It is obvious that the collection has been inspired by African motive. Volume feathers in different colors arouse the image of a majestic peacock walking around savanna.

Actually, feathers are the distinctive feature of Roksanda Ilincic collection. Not only shoes but also dresses feature this adornment. Roksanda Ilincic, designer famous for her eccentric style, presented these creative shoes within the framework of ready-to-wear Fashion Week. Nicholas Kirkwood, who designed footwear for Roksanda Ilincic Spring – Summer 2010 collection, managed to reveal the necessary mood in his work.

In general, the collection caused very positive and bright feelings and emotions. The boldest models adorned with a magnificent fan of black and motley feathers waved smoothly from side to side while girls were going along the stage. There were also presented models with feathers at the rare or front part of a shoe. The most majestic variant is a shoe with an ankle strap. The strap draws attention by its originality. The point is it is made of what….sure…of feathers. The designer has presented more modest shoes as well. For example, take a look at this shoe. It is adorned with the only feather that perfectly merges with a stiletto heel.

Not less awesome look shoes the upper of which is completely or partially covered with feathers of diverse colors. It seems to me that next season calls upon for being a bit wild and eccentric.

Attention! Fashion Revolution!

From season to season fashion designers create new models of womanly, unusual and elegant shoes. And throughout many years the main attribute of such footwear is a heel. And as a rule the heel is of impressive height. But after the last Fashion Week which took place in Paris the world of shoe fashion filled with arguments and discussions about the role of a heel. The reason is several models fell during the show due to 16 cm stilettos. So, modern critics began to prejudice reasonability of wearing high heels. As a result, the situation seems to improve.

There are lots of diverse colors and models of flats. They can perfectly supplement both elegant dress and sporty style. For example, take a look at the charming model of ballet flats. Bead detailing adds unusual look. They will go with jeans or colored summer dress.

Kazler Black Leather

To support the idea the chief editor of the world famous fashion magazine Vogue, Anna Vintur, for the first time appeared in public in flats. The woman who knows everything about fashion and always wears heels, at least, 7.5 cm of height, came to one of the New York events in white slippers. It is evident, that Anna Vintur has decided to promote a new trend – flat shoes.

By the way, lately an editor of Vogue, Andre Leon Tolli, declared the end of the epoch of heels. He even gave a very curious description of heels as “a torment cell”. But the famous designer Manolo Blahnik said in the recent interview that “it is difficult to wear flats so that to look elegant and womanly; the women of the previous century could manage it, but the women of today…” So, should we learn to wear flats in a womanly way again?

The Dutch Miracle

The new collection by Marc Jacobs is inspired by the Dutch wooden shoes, that overfill all the souvenir shops in the Netherlands. The idea is very exciting and interesting. The shape is easily recognizable and highly unusual. What else in the world is needed for the world of fashion?

The tendency was spotted by Marc Jacobs earlier than by the rest of the fashion brands. Although this of course happened a lot later than when the old-time Dutch shoe-makers thoroughly carved wooden shoes, which they incidentally for many centuries. We have to admit though, that wood is not as comfortable a footwear, as natural leather. This was exactly the thought that inspired the designers at Marc Jacobs for a new interpretation.

Now the shoes and boots with a recognizable typical toe will become another brand attribute of Marc Jacobs, just like a monogram from Louis Vuitton and textile bags from Gucci with GG initials. At the same time these unusual shoes and boots will probably not be liked by all. The toe is after all rather unusual. However, finding fresh ideas in the time of an economic crises is an achievement as it is.

The collection is created with regard to the modern color tendencies of the season, including a lot of gold and black. It also features the ultra-fashionable high boots, which also received the new toe and original coloring.

Actually, a shoe with such a toe looks really unusual and unique. The innovation is undoubtful, and thus guarantees attention. Once again the designers at Marc Jacobs managed to grasp the momentum and make use of the situation. It is also likely that if successful, the trend will soon be picked up by the rest of the fashion brands out there. So the Dutch shoes are, by the looks of it, going to take over the world in the nearest future.

The choice of heels within the collection is also really varied. For example, it includes a wide ankle boot with an entirely transparent heel. Or stylish sandals on a cork sole and a thick stable cork heel.

In fact, the designers at Miss Sixty offer a wide variety of rather thick and stable heels – either straight or atilt, as well as neat wedge-shaped heels, narrowing towards the bottom. The shoes of the collection are very bright and exciting with no boring and pathetic shapes.

Ankle shoes come in bright saturated colors – citrine with sparlky dusting, orange and red. The choice of color is typical of the footwear brand, which is known for their outstanding and unusual coloring.
