Which Winter Footwear To Choose
We no longer have the need to expose our feet, in flip flops and sandals, to the fresh air and sun – because summer is at the end and winter is here. Winter brings with it socks, slippers and perpetual ice blocks at the ends of your legs. Your pins will still look stylish because the winter will bring int the new fashions when it comes to shoes we wear.
Winter 2008 looks to be an eclectic season with ballerina flats, animal prints, and boots, particularly equestrian and biker boots in vogue. You’ll find ballerina flats in all types of materials and colors, with their round toes. This winter animal prints, metallics – especially gold, and velvets are the big sellers. Something different then the typical flat shoes could be a low or even high, vamp heel with ankle ties.
The shiny patent look is in fashion, so are the red color and Mary Jane’s. The name Mary Jane is an American term for a strap shoe or sandal that has low heels, broad, rounded and closed toes and a buckle strap across the instep and/or around the ankle. They used to be made primarily of black patent leather. These days they come in all colours and all materials including suede and canvas. The shoes that were mainly known as little girls shoes are Mary Jane’s – they were only sometimes reffered to as a shoes for little boys. These are quite informal shoes for grown women, but at least there are more and more women who choose to wear them.
The more modern Mary Jane’s have also had heels added to them as well as thick, platform soles. Punk rockers and Goths adopted the shoes in particular, although some others would vamp up the “Lolita” look and wear them with high knit socks and a very short paid, pleated schoolgirl skirt.
The peep-toe shoe is one more trend that will flourish this winter. It sounds a little crazy because you would assume that your feet would freeze, but we are assured by people in the know that they are no colder than wearing regular pumps.
I hope that you have more ideas now and see all the options you have when it come to shoes for winter. You’ll be perfectly ready for the winter days if you choose what fits your feet and yuor style.
