In 2008 a new fashion trend began to form – women’s gladiator shoes.  Due to the fact that these shoes have a strappy sandal structure to them, their demand rather laid off during the cooler months until again the warmer season rolled around – and now in 2009 are these shoes ever a trend!

If you’re a shopper you might have already realized that there are now many different shoes to choose from and it might seem a bit confusing – here is a breakdown of what shoes are the most popular in terms of style and brand to help you make a choice:

Knee-High Gladiator Sandals – Recently these have been seen on the feet (and up the legs) of some popular celebrities and have now become one of the hottest fashion trends this year.  These – almost one for one – have an incredible style to them and stand out in any crowd.  Various brands that make the most popular styles include Juicy Couture, Type Z and Ed Hardy (my personal favorite).

Ankle High Gladiator Sandals – The look of these is a bit more on the subtle side compared with the knee-high gladiators and are some of the most feminine footwear today.  The looks vary and are usually found to be either “simple” or “strappy”.  The most popular of these shoes come from brands such as Sam Edelman, Type Z, Report and Nine West.

High Heel Gladiator Shoes – This look combines the “old world” style of a Roman sandal with the sultry look of high heels.  The most popular of these styles feature one or more straps around the ankle area and will definitely bring a few looks!  Some of the brands that create the most popular high heel gladiator shoes include Steve Madden, Chinese Laundry, Nine West, RSVP and Type Z.

And – there are variations to the above.  For example, you can find high heel gladiator sandals that are strappy right up to the knee as well as some ankle high gladiators that have a basic thong sandal design to them.

Any of these styles of women’s gladiator shoes will add a true touch of flair to any wardrobe.

Summer is a chance to free your feet from the constraints of boots and closed toe shoes and give them a chance to breathe in open toed sandals. This season’s pretty fabrics and stylish designs are a reflection of the catwalk’s obsession with combining the old with the new. Wedge heels are back in and printed, floral designs are making a seasonal appearance once again alongside cutting edge leather designs.

Sandals and summer shoes still have to fit properly to be comfortable. There’s nothing quite as uncomfortable as a pair of summer shoes that squeeze your toes together and rub on the heels, making that stroll on the beach or along a street a less than pleasurable experience. Most high street shops are now offering standard and wide fit shoes in their winter collections, but summer shoes tend to get overlooked. Peoples’ feet don’t all fit into a generic size and shape, which is why it’s important for your personal comfort to pick a pair that does fit properly. Thankfully, some more forward thinking retailers are now offering a range of width fittings, giving the consumer more choice.

In times past, wide fitting shoes were confined to the ‘sensible’ shoe design – comfortable, certainly, but not exactly fashionable. Now designers are realising that form and function can work symbiotically, hence the expansion of wider fitting summer shoes and sandals available to the public, particularly online.

If floral prints and ‘girlie’ designs aren’t your thing, there are still plenty of traditional leather summer shoes and sandals to choose from. When you’re shopping for shoes that fit properly you should be looking for a shoe that fits your foot without crowding or squeezing your toes together. If the sandal has an ankle strap design, make sure that it won’t constrict any movement in your foot. A strap that has to be done up tight to keep the shoe in place will become uncomfortable very quickly.

Pump style summer shoes are an alternative to the traditional sandal design but because they sit low on the foot they can sometimes rub the heel, causing painful blisters. A good summer shoe should feel as light as air from the moment you put it on, with no tightness around the heel or chafing of the delicate skin that covers the Achilles tendon. Fabric summer shoes may have less ‘give’ in them than leather, so consider this when selecting your style.

Summer shoes tend to get a great deal of wear in a short time, so selecting a pair that will be comfortable from the outset will prevent costly mistakes and a collection of shoes that spends its life in the back of a wardrobe! Also remember that the summer doesn’t always mean endless days of sunshine, so a pair of summer shoes that can withstand wet weather without any effects on the material is a worthwhile consideration. Leather bounces back from a soaking quickly, but fabric designs can be damaged by a drenching unless they have been treated. You may also decide to wear your summer shoes to the beach, so consider the effects of sand and salt water on the material.

The first days of summer can be a welcome relief for feet that have been confined to closed toed shoes and boots all winter, so treating your feet to a well fitting pair of summer shoes can quickly put a spring back in your step.
