Riveted Shoes – One of the Micro Trends for Summer 2011
Several years ago shoe fashion was booming with metal elements in shoe design. Shoe designers embellished their creatures with sharp studs and nails; the same was true about clothes, handbags and accessories. Shoe trends for summer 2011 include punk-styled riveted shoes.
Those who haven’t had the chance to try on the “metallic” trend this summer offer the possibility to make up for the missed opportunity and buy a pair of shoes or sandals with metallic rivets or studs. Let’s have at new shoe models from one of the most spectacular trends for summer 2011.
New collections features shoes decorated with metallic rivets, nails and other things that march in step with the brave “punk” style. You can find interesting propositions in 
Alaïa, Alexander McQueen, Brian Atwood, and Christian Louboutin shoes collection. In Givenchy summer line-up there are sandals entirely studded with rivets over the entire surface.
Balmain fashion house offers one the most punk-inspired collection for spring-summer 2011. Their shoes collection features sandals embellished by massive metal chains and large nails with figured faceting. At the same time, Valentino shoe designers make rather a careful use of the trend and decorate their nude-colored sandals with accurate figured nails and thin chains.
There’re not many “metal” footwear this season in comparison to 2009 collection, but the generous décor of the new shoes doesn’t yield to rocker maximalist style of previous collections. And what do you think about this style?

Why So Many Women Choose to Wear Ankle Booties
Year after year this ladies’ footwear is in fashion, it shows up on podiums and is chosen by women as eye-catching as well as practical boots for everyday wear. However. they are not standard boots, which makes ladies hesitate – where they can wear ankle booties, whether they suit their age and so on.
As a rule, ankle booties are made in such a way so as to minimize fatigue in legs and feet during walking. Its steady heels place your feet into a comfortable position while natural materials let your feet breathe.
Still before buying a pair of ankle booties you should consider your body. Fashionable booties would make thin legs even more perfect, but they won’t look that cool on wide feet and plump ankles. The thing is – try on! Borrow a pair from a friend or try them in shops. It may easily happen that a sharp-toe high-heeled model won’t match your body but you’ll see that wedged ankle booties or low-heel booties are your perfect shoes.
Some people believe only thin and high women can wear ankle booties, but they are not right. Such booties can suit shortish ladies as well for heels add to their height while disguising some body defects.
Another important notion is the type of a fastener. Miniature feet look cool in booties with a front, back or side zipper. At the same time those who have a high instep should find something retro-styled like lace-up booties or wedges.
The color of your ankle booties adds grace to your legs and is meaningful as well. Such colors like grey, brown and black are considered to be classic, though brave and creative women can dare to wear brightly-colored booties – red, yellow, leopard, etc.
