Picking Right Shoes For The Winter
As summer disappears, so does the need to walk around bare foot or in skimpy, barely there sandals, exposing your feet to as much fresh air as possible. What we get from winter is slippers, socks and ice blocks that are growing at our feet. When it comes to winter, it will bring the new fashions and your pins will look cool without caring for the current weather.
Winter 2008 looks to be an eclectic season with ballerina flats, animal prints, and boots, particularly equestrian and biker boots in vogue. Round toes are a quality of ballerina flats, and you can find them in all sorts of materials and different colors. This winter animal prints, metallics - especially gold, and velvets are the big sellers. Vamp and ankle ties heel is another choice, as oposed to typical flat shoes we wear.
Mary Jane’s are also in fashion, as is the colour red and the shiny patent look. 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. Before they were made only of black patent leather, but now it’s a bit different. Now you can find them in all kinds of materials, like canvas and suede, and in all colors of rainbow. 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. Now they are also shoes for grown women, although in the case of women they are more informal than they are for children.
The Mary Jane’s of today have higher heels and platform soles, which makes them a bit different. 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.
One more trend that you will going to witness this winter is a high sandal that is closed. People who know something about this say that they are not a degree colder than our regular pumps, but I was assured that the feet would simply freeze in one of these.
I hope that you have more ideas now and see all the options you have when it come to shoes for winter. Choose what fits your style best and you will be ready for the cold winter days.
