Shoe trends for 2012: what you need to know

Most men are content with a cheeky visit to JD Sports’ trainers page at http://www.jdsports.co.uk/men/mens-footwear/trainers/ for their fix of great shoes, though for women it’s a much different matter – especially if they’re fashion forward. Luckily, One Million Looks is happy to present ladies with a full list of shoe trends that provide both sexy and glamorous styles.

Shoe trend number one is metallic toes. The blog explained: “Some footwear producers use metallic toes for practical purposes, to make their shoes more durable, but during spring/summer 2012 fashion season metallic toes will also be very trendy and designers decided to bring metallic toes to a new, more glamorous level.”

In at number two is pointed toes. Rounded toes have been at the top of the list for a couple of years, it explained, but not anymore. “Pointed toes will be featured on shoes mostly. Sandals and booties will still have rounded toes,” it emphasised.

Braided sandals are also in next year. Designer collections have largely avoided these over the last few years, though a “huge comeback” is on the cards. “Bright colours and unusual ways of braiding make these incredibly hot for the approaching season,” the blog concluded.
