The colours of women’s shoes this year are nude colour tones or flesh pink, peach, blush, blues and purples as well as orange and yellows.

Many shoes are accessorised in bows, petals, ruffles, beads, gems and anything that sparkles. There are always designers willing to design the outrageous and this year is no exception, extremely high platforms with futuristic Perspex heels and soles in amongst the mix. Shoes made from exotic leather from animal skins such as crocodile, snake and even fish are also prevalent.

Gladiator shoes are still very popular, various styles are available from double ankle straps to gladiator sandals littered with small gems, bows and glitter. It seems that gladiator shoes will continue to dominate the women’s under forties age bracket.
