Spring/Summer 2011 Footwear/Shoe Trends

Clogs
Clunky wooden shoes. It doesn’t sound like the most glamorous or practical of footwear trends, and yet the clog reached new heights in 2010 and will continue to have an impact on 2011. The prevalent brass studding, in particular, will continue to be highly influential, while the clog’s overall popularity will wane.

Kitten heels
Kitten heels are making a somewhat controversial return, spurred on by the trend of ’50s and ’60s dressing. More comfortable yet less appealing than their higher counterparts, kitten heels can work particularly well when dainty, pointed or either minimalist. When it comes to this style in 2011 it’s all about the theme. For Spring, kitten heeled sandals are also an option.
