October 31, 2011 Comments (0)

It’s the 11th hour, but there’s still time to complete your Halloween ensemble with the perfect pair of shoes. Here are our top contenders.

For Comfort
You can be the most stylish bubble bee, evil witch or black cat on the block with these Kimi Hidden black ballet flats from Elizabeth and James.

Or if you’re looking for a more reasonably priced pair, you can check out the Elastic Top Line flats from Yosi Samara.

For Style
If you’re planning on being a good witch, then check out the 5-inch slivery Shazzam platform sandals from Steve Madden. Or you can indulge your scary yet sexy side with the Annie black pumps from Rachel Zoe  

Whichever style you try, you’re guaranteed to be the belle of the ball!

Dream Shoes

October 27, 2011 Comments (0)

We all have fabulous style, but we don’t always have the finances to indulge our tastes. So I pose the question to myShoes readers: What’s your dream shoe for the season? Is it a pair of Uggs to keep out the winter chill? Thigh-high Louboutin’s to indulge your funky side?

Let us know what your dream shoe is for fall/winter 2011 and we’ll post the results in a blog next month!

The Rainbow Connection

October 24, 2011 Comments (0)

Just because the weather has turned gloomy doesn’t mean that you must resign yourself to wearing a parade of dull, boring brown or black shoes until the sun decides to come out sometime in May. Brighten up your look, as well as your mood with these fierce, fabulous, colorful winter boots.

Brilliant Green
Boutique 9’s Cathy mid-calf leather boot in a pale, forest green looks bo-ho chic and earthy.   

Deep Purple
If you feel like standing out in a crowd, but also keeping your feet warm, you must, must, must check out the Alda thigh-high boot from Shiekh. I barely have words to describe these funky and fabulous 4-inch stunners! Simply click here and behold!    

Bright Orange
I’m still not sure how I feel about flat boots, but no matter what stance you have on the issue, you’ll definitely want to check out the Nicolette bright orange flat boots from Michael Kors. They just might be the perfect thing to perk up a black cashmere turtleneck and A-line gray skirt.  

True Blue
And since there’s nothing like a blast of cobalt blue to shake you out of the winter blahs, thank goodness Steve Madden conjured up the Princey ankle bootie. The brilliant color in addition to the amazing skinny 4.5-inch heel equals nothing short of fabulous!

Desperately Seeking Comfort

October 21, 2011 Comments (0)

Let’s face it. No matter what a retailer or a starlette or anybody else says, there really is no such thing as a comfortable stiletto shoe. (If they truly did exist, women would wear them when they exercise.) There are, however, a few ways that you can increase the likelihood that you’ll be able to wear your sky-high heels all evening long.

Wear ‘Em
You’ve got to break your heels in before you show them off on the big night. In the days leading up the event simply wear your new shoes around the house for about 15-20 minutes at a time. This will give you a chance to discover any “sore spots” (places where the straps or the upper rubs against your toes or your heels) and you’ll have plenty of time to purchase any necessary accessories like foot pedals or insoles.      

Stretch ‘Em
If your new heels are just too tight to bear, you can have them stretched professionally or purchase a shoe stretcher that will literally give you a bit more wiggle room. Your toes will thank you in the end!

Join the Glitterati

October 20, 2011 Comments (0)

You might need to cover up your feet in the cold, but you don’t need to cover up your style! Keep your shoes sparkling this fall to heat up your entire outfit. Rhinestones, sequins, and glitter have made their way into some stunning footwear collections, and they have come to rescue us from the plain, the ordinary, and the boring.

Luminous Lace-Ups
Staying glam in the cold is easy once you find the perfect ankle boots to wear. The Carnbyl shoe by Steve Madden is edgy, sparkling, and sky-high! It’ll keep your feet secure with its lace-up design fastened with a buckle while you rock these 5-inch stunners. But if you’re looking for something lower than a 5-inch heel, but want a similar style, the Grind by Bordello is your best alternative. This glittery black look-a-like gives you the same lace-up style with a mere 3.5-inch heel. 

Lightening-Struck Pumps
The Lema pump by Michael Antonio elegantly displays your feet with a 5-inch heel, a mixture of suede and glitter, and a shimmering red ankle strap. You and your feet will shine, sparkle, and smile as you walk around in these dazzling beauties. If you want to stay glittery at a lower height, however, try the Xara pump by Killah in glistening silver. At 3.5 inches, these glamorous pumps give you added shine without the added height.

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Shoe
You can still rock the glitter look even if you want to stay flat on the ground. The Yachtts flat loafer from Steve Madden is covered in gold sequins, and you can walk in them all day long. With a lace-up design, these perfect casual fall shoes will dazzle, glisten, and shine with every step you take.
