Strut Your Stuff - Finding the Perfect Shoes
There is one thing most women in Seattle are not going to pass up: a great pair of shoes. There are plenty of affordable shoes to be found in stores across Seattle. Shoes allow anyone to put their own spin on each and every outfit they wear.
The fashion-conscious woman is well aware that what she puts on her feet can either make an outfit or destroy it. Fortunately for the pocketbook, current styles are trending toward shoes that fit the most discerning woman's criteria for fashion – and are affordable, as well.
Designers are finally starting to create shoes with both comfort and looks in mind. Sandal heels have been shortened considerably, with some sporting a paper-thin platform heel. The hottest shoes this season will feature more attention to price and comfort then ever before.
Flip-flops are the first harbinger of warm weather. They're nice and flat, and since they're now being worn by many men as well as women, they're quite affordable. The current trend for flip-flops is a small heel with an ankle strap, possibly including a rhinestone buckle. Keep in mind that your feet will be the center of attention when wearing an open-toed shoe, so be sure to keep your pedicure up to date.
A good buy can also be had this summer on ballet flats, in anything from plain and sweet to hot leopard print. You can go from the boardwalk to the boardroom in these shoes and still look great, and the best part is you really will be able to wear them everywhere because they are exceptionally comfortable.
A low-key style that bridges the gap between complete practicality and sexy femininity is sling-back flats. Any great summer shoe should be able to be worn with just about anything, from a business suit to shorts, with a tank top or a peasant blouse. The popularity of last summer's big hit, espadrille sandals, continues this season as well. For a look with staying power, try pairing this shoe's sexy style with a cork or bamboo wedge heel. This type of shoe, with a solid heel construction, provides great support. You can wear them all day long in comfort. This style of shoe is available in canvas, cotton, linen, and a variety of other materials, so you're sure to find a color and style that pleases.
Well, that’s a good start for the summer. This season, you're sure to find some great shoes that won't require a home equity loan and will still be great looking and comfortable.
