Spring 2010 Trends for Shoes

The holidays have barely ended and you are probably planning how to lose 10 pounds or somehow be a better person for 2010, but it is also time to start thinking about spring fashion. This is a fast wrap up of what is hot and what is not for spring 2010 shoe fashion. I’ll also give you some predictions that you can use or lose.

What is IN?

1. Keep those platform shoes that you bought in the fall handy. Platforms and anything sky high is here to stay for the spring. They might be toned down a tad (forget the 17 buckles and studded heels) but they are still in.
2. Slouchy boots are here to stay. If the narrow jean is here to stay, then slouchy boot and the tall boot are not going anywhere either. There are plenty of styles to select from and you cannot go wrong as long as you don’t hang on to those ones you got back at the beginning of the craze when they were ultra chunky.

What’s OUT?
1. Sorry, but the cowboy boots are looking wonky these days. Ditch them and get some stylish boots that serve the same purpose.
2. As I mentioned above, boots are not going anywhere. In the event you bought yours a few years ago and they have a chunky heel, it is time for an upgrade.

Predictions:
1. Even those thigh high boots will get more extreme. The ones that look like leggings will gain some traction this spring and be giant by next winter.
2. Since those crazy Alexander McQueen shoes got plenty of buzz, I bet we’ll start to see some more street available versions popping up over the next year or so.
