So what should we expect to see this season?  There are in fact quite a few trends doing the rounds, these include the likes of hot hued shoes, espadrilles and wedges, braided sandals, metallic shoes, shoes with laces, pastel shoes, shoes with super platforms, transparent shoes, pointed toes and pastel shoes.

All of the above styles of course suit a different occasion.  For example, you probably won’t need to invest in a braided holiday wedge if you intend to sit in the office all day.  A patent pair of flats complete with metal toe will probably be more suited to a stylish city girl.

Shoes with metal toes were originally invented in order to last longer.  They are however now a practical fashion statement and we should expect to see a variation of metal toed shoe styles in the very near future.

Pointed toes are back.  You may have thought the rounded toe was here to stay but the winkle picker has instead made a come-back.

Nude, pale green, a watered down canary yellow shade and baby blue hues have all been seen on this year’s catwalks and look great when seen in the shape of summer sandals.

The mega platform styles are a must if you intend to make a statement.  They may however not be that easy to walk in.

Transparent shoes are also another style to keep an eye on, they are perfect for the summer month’s and appear as a classy version of the jelly shoe.

Shiny and sparkly shoes will always be a hit, especially when most girls love to play a bit of dress up!  This season however will see the sparkle shoe transform into something that can also work with the every day wardrobe pieces.

So what is in store for us this season?  When it comes to new shoes, there is quite an array of new styles to check out!  These include the likes of rich coloured numbers complete with ditsy ankle straps, brogues, new-casuals, and metallic, sparkly and velvet numbers!

With so many to choose from, we think it may be a wise idea to add a few to your Christmas wish list!

With shoes constantly strutting down the runways, we are starting to see a pattern.  A lot of the styles for this season are in fact resembling a little of the designs last season.  The only difference being that they have been slightly re-vamped!

One trend that is really placing itself at the forefront of fashion is the buckle!  In fact we saw an unbelievable number of shoes with buckle embellishments.  The shoes that offered buckle embellishments also combined on-trend fabrics, luscious textures and complimentary colours.  All in the entire recent catwalk presentations are a great investment for the party season.

Shiny gold was another big hit and was used in a subtle fashion at a few shows, whilst other designers went completely over the top!

For example some designers combined pastel shades with gold accessories such as an ankle strap.  Other designers went for a block gold, which enthused the entire shoe!  This shoe could be worn with a simple outfit in order to really make it pop!

Check out some of the latest shows for a little style inspiration, just be sure to invest in at least one of the above trends if not both!

Step to it and find your perfect pair this season by taking note of what is heading down the catwalk! From bold buckles to bad girl heels, there is most definitely a pair to suit all you style needs!

Wedges are a must-buy item this season and are great news for those who are on their feet all day long! Not only do they lengthen the legs, they also add height and are so much easier to walk in!

Cuban kitten heels are a must-buy for the office as once again they are super stylish and won’t hurt your feet! They also come in a range of styles!

Other shoes that are in far the season are ankle boots! These look great teamed with skinny jeans and come in an assortment of style! Some even have fur trimmed embellishments, perfect for winter!

They also come in a range of colours and styles including ones that go higher up the ankle for a more statement look and ones that stop lower for a low-key style.  Wear them in tan, black, white, metallic and suede styles.

They are the perfect style staple to take you from the beach to the bar and the best bit, they are super comfy!  They also allow you to show off those perfectly tanned pins and super stylish nails!  Opt for hot, bold colours for summer such as mint greens, turquoise, hot hued orange, statement post box reds and neon shades in yellow, pink and peach.

Why not take a few style notes from the more eccentric stars and paint each nail a different colour, at least will save you on deciding on one sole shade.

If you are not a fan of showing off those toes however, opt for a closed toe version.  This way you won’t have to worry about keeping that pedicure up to date, you will however still look in style and on trend for the summer!

Normally used for exercising, trainers are the shoes we look to when we want ease and comfort. However, ‘comfortable’ is a word that unlikely to be applied to trainers with heels. Looking exactly like the latest in luxury sports footwear with the addition of a huge stiletto or wedge heel, it’s unlikely that we’ll see anyone running a marathon in trainers with heels any time soon.

So will trainers with heels become a fashion classic? The stars certainly think so. Both Mariah Carey and Victoria Beckham have been spotted playing baseball in theirs, and even Mick Jagger has been seen sporting heeled trainers. But, as we know, what looks good on a super-styled celebrity often ends up looking ridiculous when worn in everyday life. The question is, do you have the confidence to pull them off?

Although the current sporty trend is becoming hugely popular, trainers with heels may be a step to far for many. However, there are ways to make a nod to the trend without looking like a fashion wannabe. Canvas wedges with sporty stripes and laces are a great way to dress up a casual outfit, and are far less likely than trainers with heels to become a fashion embarrassment.

Whether or not you’re ready to embrace the trainers with heels trend, One Stop Plus has a huge range of gorgeous shoes, so you’re sure to find a pair to suit you.

Kate Kuba has a must-have pair of peep toes in stock that offer an ocean shade of blue that turns into a sky blue at the toes.  They are subtle enough to wear to the office yet high enough to make a statement on a night out!

Dune has a similar pair in patent pink, these however offer a cork wedge and are the perfect shoe for a holiday night out!

Next have also gone dip dye crazy and have recently released a cute pair of cube heeled maroon shoes, these little gems are perfect for the office!

Outlandish is another must-try trend for this season and offers a crazy set of colours that adorns some of this season’s sculptural shoes.

Check out Antonio Berardi, his made to order styles are the perfect heels for 2011 and come in the shape of uber platforms minus the heel.  This is certainly a balancing act of a trend!

There is an array of quirky creations on the catwalks and all scream ‘wow’ with a capital ‘W’.  Some offer see through heels, others offer statement prints on heels and others have a cut out heel!

There are lots of different kinds of wedges in various different styles. Some are towering, chunky heels that will add a good few inches to your height! If you can manage these big heels, then go for it. Tall heels make your legs look long and slender, so big wedges look great with shorts or skirts as they accentuate bare legs beneath. Slightly smaller wedges are a bit more appropriate for every day wear, and will look great with a summer dress. In contrast to the very tall wedges that look best with bare legs, shorter wedges will look good with long dresses or trousers. A pair of chunky wedges with an ankle-length maxi dress is a big fashion favourite this summer!

Wedges are great, versatile summer shoes not only because of their comfort but also because of the way that they fit almost any kind of feet. If you have very wide or plus size feet it can often be difficult to find good shoes that fit, but wedges are generally loose slip ons. You can buy plus size wedges in some high street stores but they are easier to find online. Don’t sacrifice a great summer style just because you have larger feet! Find a perfect pair of wedges to see you through the season.

One of the lesser known places to buy shoes online includes through the use of Club wear websites that offer clothing, accessories and even shoes within their line. There are often shoes that are available for less than $2.99 and you can choose from a variety of styles. Through these shoes, you may find it simple to build the shoe collection. To offset the classic and designer styles within the shoe wardrobe, you may want to consider some of these fun inspired shoes to create a well rounded style.

As well as shopping online, there are many stores that have a variety of clearance stores that you can choose from when it comes to shopping. Clearance sales through sections that are available through department stores can be as simple as knowing when to shop. Learning when the sales are at your favorite department stores and checking regularly for new stock can ensure that you are able to find the styles of shoes that you are looking for.

Using these tips, you can find that you are not restricted when it comes to your shoe budget as your money can go a long way while buying trendy shoes.

If you only add a couple of shoes to the wardrobe this season, make use of these bright colors in a great pair of shoes with a platform heel to take advantage of many of the benefits that come from wearing high shoes. Choosing high shoes can add to the length of your leg and increase the appearance of your height, which can do wonders for your figure. Choosing a platform can make it a little easier to walk in these styles of shoes!

What colors should you choose for the bright designs? Depending on the colors that are already in the wardrobe, you will want to choose colors that are going to match the current styles of clothing, as well colors to ensure that you are able to get the most use out of the colored staple. Choose a color that you can wear from day to day, but also that can be suitable for a special occasion.
