Niaomi’s Top 10 picks for summer 2011
10. Surgical Strap
Off white or griege straps are bound up the leg giving the impression of bandages or mummification. Constructed by binding and wrapping the ankle with elastic or textured leather, complemented by thin or chunky stacked soles of more delicate thin out soles – but always with a heel.
9. Shoe Sandal
8. Saddle leather
7. Patterned Boots
6. Pastel Pumps
5. Novelty Espadrille
4. Heel-less Footwear
Heel-less footwear is elevated out of the fetish market and onto the catwalk and the streets. An extended platform sole stretches back further than normal and gives support under the arch of the foot making the unbalanced ballet point profile perfectly balance. Executed in a range of styles and constructed in metallics, stealth black leather or glittered all over embellishment. Proving that having a heel is really just psychological.
3. Baggy ankle boot
Ok, when I first begin compiling images for this post, I thought I had 10 styles. Turns out I only have 9. Instead of placing something random in, I’ll put my top trend for spring/summer 2011 in first & second place. Drum rolls please…
First and second place goes to… Clogs!
Yes! These classic shoes are making a big time comeback and an absolute must for your spring/summer shoe cabinet.
