Key Women’s Shoe Trends for Fall Winter 2010/2011

Dana Studded Clog Winter 2010 – Bertieshoes.com Footwear trends for winter 2010 include a heady mix of brogues, loafers, clogs, pointy-toed pumps, opulent evening sandals and hiking-inspired shoe boots.

From tough brogues to hard-edged evening sandals fashion footwear from fall winter 2010 comes in all the colors of the rainbow. Lipstick red is the hottest color of the season whilst classic camel provides cool neutral tones.

Sturdy soles are the order of the day in shoes and boots for 2010, with leather being replaced by crepe, wood, fabric and rubber. Studs are the toughest embellishment of the moment, along with fur trim and shearling. Heels downsize to the petite stiletto (kitten heel) or go chunky with a retro wedge.

Colored Brogues

Boyish chunky brogues continue to evolve from last winter but take on a more feminine feel in bright colors of patent pinks and purples and red suede, as well as more androgynous classic hues. Many brogues have stud detailing inspired by the runways of Marc Jabobs and Mui Mui.

Clogs

Clogs continue to influence fashion footwear, providing some of the most directional looks. Clog mules, sandals and shoe boots are trimmed with shearling, fur and studs.

Paneling

Suede paneling provides a very retro look with manufacturers playing with color in two or three-tone color blocks of brown, camel, khaki and auburn. These eye-catching elements have a very ‘70s feel but add interest to footwear.

Color-block heels pick up on the paneling trend with eye-popping brights sharpening up a pair of pumps or adding some intensity to shoe boots.

Loafers

Designers have also taken inspiration from the golf course for a tough winter loafer that has golf-style tassles and trims. With heavy platforms and large heels this footwear works with everything from shift dresses to flared pants.

Opulent Detailing

No Christmas or New Year party shoe would be complete without some overindulgent glamor. Opulent detailing of mirrors, feathers, bows, velvet, lace, braiding and gemstones are what we have come to expect of the party season.

Sleek Stiletto Shoes

Streamlined pointed-toes adds balance to this season’s sharp stiletto heels. Paired-back pumps in neutral colors add a touch of grown-up glamor to any outfit.

Kitten Heels

Kitten heels are back on the prowl for 2010 and women worldwide may be heaving a sigh of relief that teetering around in high-heeled party shoes or looking frumpy in flats may not be their only options. Dubbed the ‘petite stiletto,’ the cute kitten heel is still sexy and ladylike but very wearable.

Hiking Boots

Peep-toe shoe boots have been toughened up with hiking-inspired elements of laces, rubber treads, paneling and shearling detailing. The only thing you don’t have to do is go for a 5-mile walk in them!

Overall there is a very vintage element to fall winter 2010 shoes with clogs, crepe soles, paneling, wedge heels and tassels. Party shoes take on a more streamlined silhouette with pointed toes and petite stiletto heels, whilst boyish studded brogues, clogs golf-inspired loafers provide some heavy-duty footwear.
