Elements of nature, folk, evoking 70s colours and vintage patterns are emerging within the colours and trend styles of footwear this forthcoming season. Corking, rafia, tassels, western detailing and foot coverings on sandals to name but are few are going to be vastly appearing in the Spring/Summer collections.

Spring/Summer 2010 is vastly approaching with an array of colours and innovative styles. This seasons footwear technology becomes playful, with superb western/folk detailing, lazer cut patterning, corking sole units, fringing and studwork. These elements are being brought   forward with a much more polished look from Autumn Winter 09/10. 






A soft, serene colour palette with bold accents are on trend for the Summer. Chalky, light, faded, powder and talcum colours are accompanied by more intense shades of taupe beiges and mauves. For footwear in these tones is a great look as seen below in the Zinda colour swatches. A range of dynamic, Springtime pastels is added to this base: pink, greenish yellow, orange and vibrant green work well as a mix as seen above. Intense hues of yellow, blue and violet individually in places are added with strong accents. Vibrant slices of blazing red, blue and deep violet are added and are blending well with more neutral shades.

Retro elegance is appearing this season with our selection of Summer boots, shoes and sandals. Gladiator sandals are back, Tamaris Orchid 28100  which is working well with fitted, high-waisted, slim-bust jackets and tops with jewel-like embroidery worn with mid-knee length, slim pencil skirts or capri pants/denim  which makes the outfits stand out due to the high detailed strapping. Diverse looks are coming into spring with urban sportswear contrasted with chiffon ruffles. Footwear fits in with these clothing styles as the hard, clean minimalistic/colourful inspirations with the added elegant details stand out.  

We see clean appeal, sharp-cut styles or absolutely simple basics reworked in luxurious, technical fabrics. References to bandages and an 80's sporty mood in fitted pieces are also forthcoming within clothing and the footwear range. Tamaris Blossom 28337 with a pattern on the wedge and platform is a popular trend for the season and is working well with the seasons colours. Geox D01T5F Riccone with its unique sole unit allows the shoe to breathe under foot which adds too comfort and brings the style together with studs and strapping. Gabor Sinclair 04.847 has a flexible sole unit from Gabors sport range and the contrast stitch trim with thick strapping is a neutral base for everyday footwear. Tamaris Clover 27108 is part of our toe post collection and the gorgeous detailed jewelling really brings an outfit alive with the rich red. Pumps are great for any season but especially for the start of Spring as they are great for casual wear. Our pastel collection is a good start or the Gabor Frost 04.111 in bright fuschia pink injects some colour into your day. 

The one thing to take for the forthcoming season is that the choice is yours. Try a different look everyday or mix it all up at once but most importantly allow the footwear to make your outfit.

Autumn/Winter's warm tones look richer with a colour soaked suede and leather. In addition to the fur/wool lined boots that are necessary for those cold winter days.

As the temperatures drop and delicate toes need to be shielded from the icy temperatures, fashion mavens go on their yearly search for substantial, yet fashionable, footwear. What would winter be without boots?

This winter, the above the knee boot has made an appearance in both leather and soft suede. These boots are not only fashion forward but offer the opportunity to take heavier summertime dresses and skirts into the winter months. This winter's dramatically long boots can stand out amongst trousers, dresses and skirts and our selection provides the essentials for casual, the outdoors, evening and work wear.

Our most individual elegant boot this season is the Peter Kaiser Emile which is a class above its own. It ticks all the boxes of crock high shine leather. Warm woollen turn up lining, fur trims, wooden heel with a finishing touch of a tassel. This boot is a real trend setter and would look great for everyday and evening wear. 

The superb Italian design of our Manas selection this winter is an essential look for the season. From slouch boots to short or long looks they are perfect for the cold weather to come. The Manas Capra 92337 western design is an inspiring casual look with its oversized buckle and distressed leather. With an added benefit of a cosy fur lining that works well with jeans.

Its practical style is warm and has a hardwearing sole with a good tread in case of bad weather. The front lace is adjustable so that you can find a secure fit.

In addition another comfortable wear is the Ecco Freeze 51043 featuring woollen lining and a latex sole, this calf length ladies boot from Ecco is a great choice for outdoors activity. Alternatively Ecco Tremble 51033  with a wool lining provides extra cushioning and warmth. Its removable felt insole, soft and moisture absorbent with Comfort Fibre component directly injected. The latex sole, light, flexible and hard wearing casual long boot is ideal for long walks and everyday wear 

Looking aside to the walking/casual boot trends we have a truly classic country boot from Dubarry. Dubarry Galway which could well be considered as the new Ugg boot to come which has fully substantial wear. It has a water resistant upper, finished in a combination of
smooth and textured leather. With a breathable 
Gore-tex lining making it fully waterproof and the essential outdoor boot. Generous fitting allows enough room for the Dubarry Chinchila a warm fleece liner sock which thinking ahead is a perfect stocking filler.

They use the best footwear components and technology to ensure all leathers are water resistant and are durable to withstand and hold their shape. How could you possibly resist the benefits of these boots. 

So whether it be casual or evening wear you are looking for our selection of Winter boots are unresistable and do offer comfort and essential everyday needs. The Gore-tex, woollen/fur linings and flat boots are necessary for the season ahead so you need look no further. 

Whether it be knee high boots, shoe boots or brogues there is something to suit every occasion.

The Eighties are back with power shoulders, winter florals, bows, buckles and studs. Wearing dark prints, working fur, animal print, patent leather and oversized bold print is essential. Inject your peremial darks with a shot of leopard print. Textural contrasting fabrics and layering prints are a staple of every season. Clashing colours and the wonderful new techniques in digital printing give this trend a full make over into the future.

One to watch this season is the knee high to thigh high boots appearing in couture houses to the likes of Jimmy Choo and Gianmarco Lorenzo. Knee high boots work really well with skirts or trousers and our selection suits a variety of occasions. Riding boots are this years new look biker boot, Gabor Zenith and Tamaris Soldier with an almond toe and low heel, perfect comfort for everyday wear. Manas Heston reveals the new style hiking boot trend with a high heel and fur trim lacing spanning the length of boot.

Lace up shoe boots is a continuing 08 trend. Bohemian short fringed ankle boots in leather or suede can look sexy with bare legs or tights and our perfect pair is Tamaris Rara in suede with a removable fringe detail. Ankle shoe boots are amazingly versatile as they can go with a variety of winter outfits. Why not add navy for a super polished look with Hispanitas China.

Brogues prove power dressing does not have to mean heels. Gabor Ready the modern classic shows the popular material winter shoes are boasting for is patent leather in eternal black, red to bold winter colours like purples, yellows and greens. Peter Kaiser Saba with a mix of shades is a unique design with an elegant brogue detail the easy way to add vintage flair. Wonders Pepita cuffed ankle is a key trend to watch out for and Wonders Babel shows a brogue detailing and dainty lace fastening for a smart look.

Velvet is everywhere this season and the Unisa Nasla with a crinkled band is looking great on the foot. Gabor Amberly with a simple buckle on the top edge is a perfect flat knee high boot. Double to triple buckles, bright colours, luxe fabrics and sharply pointed toes must stand out. For daily wear Manas Barbara with the wooden effect heel is a match with jeans.

Reptile leathers create an exotic look to your outfit. Square toes, crocodile skin, tassels and tapered heels. Animal print shoes dress up skirts and plain outfits especially with Unisa Record for the contemporary look. Sheepskin is a must have for the cold season and Manas Ping a western patchwork style with fur lining is low on the heel, comfortable and warm. Hispanitas Freya the cowboy look with the cuban heel matt and croc leather used in combination compliment the boot well. The matching casual everyday bag Hispanitas B191646 with added texture is a brilliant  finishing touch.

Alternatively the fabulous forties is the elegant option this AW09 in a sea of ferocious trends think tailored skirts, suits, silk blouses, leather gloves and a touch of tweed. Silk shirts, blazers, bejewelled shoes, embellishment adding variety and attention to detail. Peter Kaiser Sigri with a beautiful studded button detail and elastic gusset is the formal look. Classic Mary Jane styles like Gabor Folk with the thick buckle is an essential look for work.                                                                    

Add some colour into your winter wardrobe with help from the charts aside. Bright red/scarlet hues become a favourite conventional Autumn Winter palette as well as black with grey khaki, navy blue and olive green. The pastel palette grows this season with nature inspired overtones of old country simplicity. Classical vivid saturated colours add contrast but just remember to keep your palette simple.
                

Confused about shoes and what to wear? Can't decide which shoes will suit you or the occasion? Wish you were among the percentage of society with great fashion sense that knows exactly what looks good? Or maybe you're one of the chosen few that look amazing in whatever you wear. There are so many kinds of shoe to choose from, heels, stilettos, flats, courts, boots or wedges. Shoes are a very personal choice and each shoe is made with a specific purpose in mind.

There are people who will say they can tell us about a celebrity by looking at the shoes they wear. Is this true or just fluff and nonsense? Shoes define our fashion sense. They are a fashion item and you can usually tell by looking at a shoe which of your friends would wear it and which friends would not be seen dead in it! Are you a bargain shoe person? Or are you a designer shoe at a bargain price person? Or maybe you are a comfortable shoe person?
