We’re all currently facing difficult and challenging times. What better time to update your spring shoe style than while in quarantine? You can check out all the latest trends and shop from the comfort of your sofa without having to venture outdoors. A new pair of sandals or trainers for your upcoming summer holiday is what every style conscious woman needs right now!
While checking out the best buys in spring/summer footwear, I was delighted to discover some timeless classics as well as some vegan friendly options. Add summer shine and glamour to your wardrobe with these trendy styles for 2020:
1. Black Strap Wedges
These wedged espadrille sandals with a strappy suede upper add instant elegance to any outfit. Ideal worn with a floaty animal print skirt or a short, print dress for a smart casual look. Reasonably priced at €68 and available to order from Office.
2. Birkenstock Sandals
This innovative German brand was founded in 1774 by Johann Adam Birkenstock. Despite being known as an ‘ugly’ orthopedic shoe style, mass-market brands continue to pick up this trend. The distinct feature that sets them apart is the soft footbed which repeats the bending of the feet. Invest in a pair of Birkenstocks and you’re guaranteed style and comfort. Check out these metallic silver sandals with croc print by Schuh for only €88.
3. Ugg Hilama Slides
Give your feet a treat and slip into these cool and comfortable slides! The perfect choice to wear at the poolside or beach. They also look great worn with summer skirts and dresses. Currently available to order from Office, these are reasonably priced at only €52.
4. Superga trainers
What better spring/summer wardrobe essential than a super comfy pair of white leather trainers? Superga are one of my favourite brands on the market because of their simple style and thick soles. They are a roomy fit however, so I recommend going down a size when purchasing. Perfect worn with skinnies or floaty dresses for a cool, urban look. These are available at Schuh for €84.
5. Block Heels
If you want to create a stylish, elegant look this summer but want to avoid squeezing your feet into stilettos, check out these gorgeous black tortoiseshell block heels. These are my ‘go to’ shoes when dressing up in my favourite skirt or dress for a night out. Designed with both comfort and style in mind, it offers amazing value as well. You can purchase for only €15.95 (down from €33) right now on Schuh!
6. Vegan sandals
Make the vegan friendly choice whilst being stylish and comfortable. These dainty gladiator-style sandals are made from 100% vegan materials and come in pearl rose gold with braided detailing on the straps. Available to order now from Office for a very reasonably priced €46.
So there you go – super stylish and comfortable shoe trends to suit every taste! If you choose a new pair of trainers, you’ll get plenty of wear out of them while walking the dog or doing indoor pilates. Give yourself a well deserved Easter treat with a cool pair of wedges or block heels to wear with your favourite ‘staying in’ skirt. Be the most stylish person in the queue outside the supermarket!
So happy Birkenstocks were included!
