A Glance at Summer Shoes and Footwear – From Designer Catwalks to the Beach

One thing is for certain: Boring just doesn’t cut it.

Take a glance at the trendy “not boring” edge of footwear. Then scroll down to the ultimate Summer & Beach Sandals and Shoes from Star Bay Group.

Gladiator Sandals
As the must-have trendy summer shoe of 2008, the gladiator sandal is reaching critical mass (adoption) this summer. For Men: Raw Leather Gladiator Sandals to match rustic accessories: Explorer travel bags in leather and canvas or leather and string; Rustic techno sandals.

For Women: Laced up to the knee.

Lace Up Boots
Part of a Tie-Ups Trend toward lace-up shoes, ankle straps, criss-cross laces and ballerina ribbon ties. From: Dio, Lacoste, Donna Karan and Marc Jacobs. These demure lace-ups were spotted on London celebs …

And, now for something slightly fetish …

Walking the Line between Fetish Shoe Trend and Exotic Detailing, the above Runway Shoe Trends feature studded booties and chain-detailed heels … “bondage details” … Anna Sui’s Egyptian-inspired sandals … lots of jewel and beading embellishments.
