Top 5 Running Shoe Brands
| The number of shoe companies that produce running shoes is quite large, but at the same time we tend to trust only a limited number of them. I could list several reasons for it. Let’s start from the data of creation – as a rule the older brand is, the more popularity it gains. From the other side, each rule has an exception. So, sometimes a new made brand may result very successful due to its fresh view of the sector and progressive innovations. Secondly, if you buy a brand running shoe, you feel confidence about its quality and safety, because low quality sneakers are very dangerous for health, especially for those who do sports frequently and professionally. According to all principles mentioned above I made a list of top 5 running shoe brands that have acquired a good reputation worldwide. |
 |
| 1. Adidas. A German company set up in 1948 has earned an incredible popularity due to implementation of new technologies in production. |
 |
| 2. Nike. Nike shoes is a famous American brand, the production of which is successfully sold all over the world. Nike presents first rate quality and safe design. |
 |
| 3. Reebok. It is a subsidiary company of Adidas. So, it was also set up in Germany. The new brand has turned into a real success whose fame can be compared with popularity of giant Adidas. |
 |
| 4. Converse. This is the running shoe brand that differs a lot from each other one. Converse sneakers became popular thanks to Chuck Taylor, and the rise coincided with basketball fever in the U.S. The most renowned running shoe of the brand is doubtlessly Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers. |
 |
| 5. Puma. The history of the brand has more than a half century history. The business managed to grow out of a small German retailer to a world known international corporation. Well, good reputation for a good product. High quality, latest technologies, safe constructions and modern designs make Puma even more beloved. |
Fall/Winter 2010-2011 Shoe Collection from Chloe
| When I talk about Chloe shoes I tend to think about a brand that can hardly impress fashion lovers by its extravagant designs, futuristic looks, and incredible ideas. Crazy things are not characteristic of Chloe, the brand that is famous for elegant and sophisticated styles rather than for bold and striking ideas. Recently Chloe presented its Fall – Winter 2010/2011 Collection that proves my every word said above. Here I have some pictures for you to enjoy. |
  |
| The collection was presented by feminine and elegant footwear of traditional fall colors. My attention was captivated by ankle boots made of leather and suede in light brown and beige colors. The colors chosen by Chloe designers create an impression of softness and warmth. By the way, such color decision is very popular with Chloe designers, it has repeated in several collections of different periods. Leather booties feature high wooden heels that seem to be steady and comfortable. And suede shoe models have an elegant wedge platform. Such underwear was typical for 70s of the past century. It seems me nice to return a bit in the past. |
  |
| I cannot but mentioning amazing boots on a flat sole. They look a lot like uggs, but have a lot that differs them. Nice yellow straps adorn a top part and a toe. Such a model can be perfectly paired with loose pants like it is shown in the picture. |
  |
| And the last but not the least, the collection was bipolar, I would say. I mean, on the one hand, it is presented by feminine and elegant shoes, while, on the other hand, it features brutal manlike moccasins and low shoes on a very low heel. These shoe models are made of a first rate quality leather in light brown and winy colors. Such footwear is considered classic, so it will suit any wardrobe. |

Look Like an Oriental Princess in Jean Paul Gaultier Shoes
| At the latest Fashion Weeks a lot of gorgeous collections from famous and beloved designers were presented. As a rule in the majority of collections we can note the same features and ideas. However, there is always one designer who stands out of the crowd. He or she offers an audience an amazing result of a hard yet fruitful work, and all attention is focused on his works of art. This time Jean Paul Gaultier is a master whose latest collection I cannot but mentioning. In a few words, it is magic collection created under the influence of enigmatic and exquisite East. Let’s take a good look at the shoe models presented by the designer. |
  |
| Bright colors of Turkish shoes, amazing boots with a curved toe, motley platforms, and many-many other curious and fabulous things you could see in the collection. The models appeared at the catwalk like enigmatic princesses from oriental fairy-tails. In regard to material choice, the author decided in pro of a vast variety of texture options - patent leather, suede, stamped leather, jacquard, and so on and so forth. Yeah, with such a great variety of colors and materials and thanks to Jean Paul Gaultier’s unlimited imagination and great talent, the collection has turned into a sensation. |
  |
| My attention was driven by motley strappy sandals paired with bright hosiery. That makes me think of Japanese bold fashion trends. On the other hand, amazing boots with curved toes are a pure inspiration of the Near East. There were also presented several boots with the patterns that seem to be of antique Russian style. Now it is difficult to say if these shoes become popular among women, or maybe their design will be modified and adopted to real consumers’ needs. But I bet that some celebrity will definitely try one of these bold and bright shoe models. And now some more pictures of the collection for you to enjoy. |

Must Have Shoes for Spring 2010
| This spring footwear designers made a lot of suggestions about what will be popular and what will not. Finally, the spring has come and we can see with what we have in the end. After wandering multiple shops I made a conclusion that there are definitely some shoe models that can be considered must haves of Spring 2010. So let’s check out what shoes you must have in your wardrobe to fit fashion trends of the season. |
 |
| And the first place goes to strappy sandals. In fact, strappy shoes have been in the center of public attention already for several seasons in a row. In spite of it, strappy footwear keeps on been one of the best choices of a new season. The secret of their popularity is in sexy and elegant look. Designers say that the more straps, the better. |
 |
| The second must have shoe of the spring is the one in a Wild style. I mean exotic and safari designs. Both of them look extremely fabulous. So why not to take advantage of the trend and enjoy a pair of safari heels or exotic sandals? The overwhelming majority of exotic shoe models are made of crocodile or snake skin, while safari shoes have wild animalistic patterns. The only difficulty is to pair such shoes with an appropriate outfit. Be careful not to look excessive. |
 |
| And the third trend I would like to pay your attention to is nude shoes. The trend is the new one. When such footwear was presented for the first time, the reaction was rather controversial. However, such a shoe has a magic effect to make your legs look slimmer and longer because neutral color of a shoe itself creates such a vision. To sum it up, if you long to fit fashion trends this season, you will need this or that must have model in your wardrobe. So, think it over, and go ahead. |
