Nancy Sinatra’s song perfectly fits every discussion of shoe fashion even though it was not meant to do so. One might say that every shoe is made for walking. But shoe fashion can be very diverse.

Shoes, Shoes, Glorious Shoes

There are high heels, walking boots, rain boots, trainers and many more. High heels are mainly reserved for the ladies. Rain boots have become a great item in the last years, not necessarily because of the rain and snow but simply because they look funny and have many different colours. And everybody has a pair of trainers at home. So every shoe has an individual purpose. But new trends keep floating the market as well and some are worth checking out.

Footwear –  Natural styles

Over the last few years there has been a turn to a more natural shoe fashion in general. Materials like cloth, cotton or cork are used more frequently than plastic and artificial leather. These natural materials are better for the skin and feet as they reduce the tendency for sweating and do easily adapt to the form of the feet, which avoids blistering and chafing the skin. Generally, the trends develop into a more natural shoe style.

High heels are being replaced more and more by  ballerina flats and it does not affect the elegance of the style at all. Actually, the complete opposite is the case. In fact, a beautiful pair of feet is accentuated through this understated type of shoe. And it is a flexible shoe as it works with long and short trousers as well as dresses and skirts.

Footwear – Crazy styles

Beside this understated more natural style, there are still the many crazy shoe styles for the more outgoing person. These usually have more than one colour and have opulent shapes or high heels. These kinds of shoes are not only made for walking but also for calling attention to their wearers.

One of the latest trends which have polarized the fashion world in the last three years is the UGG trend. Either you love them or you hate them. Originally created by the Australian company of the same name, they have become a success in the whole world and have been copied by other companies as well. These boots look as if they are made of sheep skin and are therefore known as sheepskin boots as well. They have a soft surface and a flat sole and are especially useful for the cold winter season. It is possible to buy the original fashionable ugg footwear at Zalando online and to comfortably try them on at home.

Fashion however always leads back to high heels. In any colour under the sun, they will always be the must-have for every lady. As an element of the favourite party outfit or as the perfect complement to a black dinner dress, they always work. The only challenge for the wearers is the unusual height of the heels which can differ from shoe to shoe. Luckily, every lady can decide for herself which shoe and which heel is made for her.
