What's Your Favorite Style?

With so many shoe styles to choose from, it can be difficult finding a favorite. Designers tend to conjure up the most delicious styles and we, us shoe vixens tend to love them all *wink!

Let's visit some of the most common loved styles.

Here we have a Steve Madden Platform Pump (Stilettoswap.com) in neutural snakeskin print with a gold platform. The Platform provides an additional comfort for the ball of the foot by allowing the platform to provide a sort of cushion between the ball of the foot and the floor, which on shoe without the platform, you might notice, will have a lot of pain on the ball of the foot.

This is a newer take on the classic shoe known as the Mary Jane shoe. Mary Jane's were typically known as a girl's shoe, round toe with a strap across the foot (near the ankle) or around the ankle and came mostly in leather & patent leather. Now, designers have taken that same concept and spiced it up for a more adult look. Some styles replicate a "for work" approach, some still with a school style and some, like this one, well let's just say with a more sexy woman in mind.

We can't forget one of my fav's, the Peep Toe. To me, the peep toe adds an entire new level of sexiness. My belief, every woman should have a peep toe and they should be worn with eye catching nail polish. The key here is just a look peek of pretty groomed toes peeking thru a small hole of a gorgeous shoe. And Don't forget there are plenty of people who love toes *wink.

Wedgesssss! Another one of my true favorites! These wonderfully designed shoes are my favorite style because of the even support the wedge provides for the entire foot. Unlike heels or stiletto's which put the pressur on the heel of the foot (because the heel/stiletto is there) and the ball of the foot (supporting the height of the foot). The Wedge is wonderful and truly, you'll be able to stand much longer before your feet start hurting, lol.

Long Big Toe + Wrong Styled Peep Toe = A No No! Lol

Ladies am I the only one noticing that women with long big toes (the first toe on the foot) are wearing the wrong style peep toe / open toe shoes? Generally, the standard size peep toe shoe will only allow for the Big toe & half of the second toe (the one directly next to the BIG toe) to be seen. For Example:


Designer: Poetic License
Color: Plum

These Plum Poetic License Double Bow Ankle Heels are a good example of a standard peep toe which wouldn't & shouldn't show more than the first two toes. If your first toe is longer then your other toes, having a shoe that has a smaller peep toe may help stop your toe from hanging over the edge because the hole is smaller which will help constrict the toe from pushing further through the hole / opening. Now if for some reason your fashion preference is a wider hole, especially because a lot of summer heels are open cut and a lot of companies are utilizing the wider opening style, MY suggestion is to get a shoe that has ankle straps and still keep within an opening that isn't too wide. For Example:


Designer: ALDO
Color: Red

This ALDO shoe not only provides you with a fashionable peep toe but gives support with the ankle strap & the strappy design, which will help assist in keeping your foot in place. This open peep toe is a bit larger then the above shoe (the toe opening) but it still provides a cute open toe look and may still provide the support you need so your toe doesn't hang. You can choose other styles, but a wide opening isn't a style I would suggest, simply because the open provides too much room for the foot to push through from the force of standing on a heel. Also, be conscience of your sizes, some shoes may require that you get a half size smaller or bigger, or use an insert to help keep your foot in place.
It is only natural that your foot pushes and/or slides toward the front of your shoes once standing in heels, but ladies let's always do our best to look good & fashionable in them.
