Different shoes materials, heel, color, toe shape and other factors make shoes vary from one to another. That’s why there is a big difference between leather shoes and ugg boots. See some common factors that affect shoes design.
Heel shapes and styles
Stilettos
What: Yes, stilettos are back. Well, it’s not that they ever went anywhere – but they’re once again dominating the runways, and that is to say that the chunky-heeled revolution is over. One thing we are seeing though is a hybrid of platform and stiletto: a hidden platform in the front part of the shoe, with a super-tall stiletto heel at the back.
Verdict: Stilettos are streamlined, elegant, and sexy. The higher they are, the hotter they look, but of course they don’t offer much support for one’s feet. Not that ergonomics is really on anyone’s mind when they’re looking at designer shoes.
Tapered heels
What: Heels that start thick at the top and taper down, often with a curve, into a stiletto-esque point at the bottom.
Verdict: They’re a sexy, interesting and modern style which can really spice up an outfit. Not as much a classic shape, so buy them if you intend to get a lot of wear out of them over the next few seasons.
Thick, chunky heels
What: Platforms and thick heels have dominated the past few seasons; and a number of the major design houses have seen fit to carry them on for Autumn / Winter 2008.
Verdict: All those sturdy heels we’ve just invested in shouldn’t go to waste too soon – despite the return of the more graceful stiletto. The definite advantage of shoes with a thick heel is that they’re better to walk in; so make the most while you can.
Toe shapes
Squared-off toes
What: It’s been a while since square toed shoes have been popular… and it’s now their time to return. Before we all start having nightmares of those awful clunky dramatically-square shoes that were cool way back when, take note on the new squared-off shape. It’s a tapered in toe with a short blunt nose – rather than a fully squared toe.
Verdict: A nice, modern alternative to the lady-like round-toe; edgy, but not as harsh as a sharp point. A subtle squared-off toe is a great option in 2008.
Pointed Toe
What: It was only in recent memory that razor-sharp pointy toes were in. And yet, here they are again.
Verdict: It feels a bit soon, but with stilettos back in the pointed toe was never going to be far away. For those not game, round-toes are still an option, as is the squared-off toe.
