Summer Shoes 2008: Trends and Fashion

SUMMER SHE TRENDS

Summer has finally arrived; those long sunny days are here at last!
But let’s face it; few things are harder on shoes than a hot, sweaty summer day.
So, what better way to pamper our feet than offering them the latest fashion shoes trends?
We know that some of these stylish shoes might cost a whole lot of money, so why not approach summer with “disposable” shoes?

Make them colorful, fun, and most importantly, cheap.
Aim for the $100 or below, and buy a bunch – that way no single pair ever gets you bored, and the best part, they haven’t cost an arm and a leg.
Still, every now and then what woman can resist to at least having one designer pair of shoes?
That’s why you’ll find some nice “visual treats” in this post, with three or even four cipher price tags.

Most Popular Shoe Trends

In women’s shoes, the style of the season is still the platform, but thongs are always hot when the temperature climbs, and wedges are on their way back after a brief disappearing act over the last couple of seasons; of course Gladiator sandals are still present this season as well, bright colors, color-blocking, prints, patents … these are just a few of the hottest trends in women’s shoes for Spring and Summer 2008.

Men’s Fashion: It’s all about sandals

Sandals are no longer simply considered shower or beach shoes; they can take you from the office to the local happy hour, and from the boardwalk to the club. They have taken on a life of their own, and worked their way from the bottom to the top of the fashion chain. And since it’s all about survival of the fittest, you’ve got to prove that you have an eye for style if you want to catch the eye of the lovely ladies — who always seem to swarm the streets come summertime.
