Top Five Footwear Trends for Spring/Summer 2010

The following is my top five list of footwear trends that will follow you well into the fall season. And best of all, my selections are comfortable.

1) Neutral/Skin color palettes top the color radar:
The footwear heavy hitters (Louboutin, Lanvin, Miu Miu, Valentino to name a few) are showing a lot of neutral. If you are not looking at sinking a small fortune into your footwear this season, have a look at the Isa, Mona and Maya from the Hush Puppies Couture Collection. The nude and brown materials are smashing.

2) Reds, berries and pinks make a nice splash of color:
For a colorful delight have look at the Canela by Hush Puppies Collection. The Lovely in fuchsia patent is something to see, and the Harmony will add some warm color to the mix.

3) Wood stalked heels: In the spring of 2009 Mulberry had some killer chucky wood stalked heels. For comfortable value, have a look at both the Couture Collection, and Canela Collection. The Margaret is amazing (especially in the navy!)

4) Cork heels and woven heels: Tory Burch has woven out soles and incredible cork heels in her new summer collection. For an HP take on this hot trend, have a look at the Turris, Calaris and Bithia.

5) The final trend of this season, in my opinion, is a toss up between reptile prints (all over the stores now) and embellishments. Try the Mary Jane Satire and the Daystar for a casual take on the snake, or the saucy Athinia and Aridea, both feature the reptile print and embellishments.

There are a number of trends this spring, but for women who seek a timeless, wearable (and comfortable) pair of sandals or shoes, have a closer look at Hush Puppies.

Happy Spring Shopping- its sandal time!
