These aren’t based on anything official except on what we expect and would personally like to see on shoes. Feel free to add to these and share what you would like to be a hot shoe trend this 2012!

Just a quick look back, some of the popular shoe trends last 2011 were high heel loafers, cutout platforms and retro 70s styles. Others that were not as popular were rigid flatforms, almost heel-less, extremely inward-curved wedges and actually heel-less shoes.

One trend from last year that we’re still crazy about and still hoping to see more of this year is the ultra-comfortable yet ultra-stylish fashion sneaker:

Giuseppe Zanotti Rds204 studded metallic high top sneakers, $850.00 at Endless

We also hope to see some more wedges because wedges are the most comfortable height-enhancing shoes EVER:

Lovely People Tetra studded toe two-tone wedge pumps, $69.99 at Heels

We’re also expecting the colorblocking trend to continue this year — we’re kind of amazed by how designers have been able to use this trend to highlight the often unnoticed parts of the shoe:

1. Vince Camuto Pamir colorblock sandals, $129.99
2. Jessica Simpson Beijo suede platform pumps, $98.99
3. Charles by Charles David Helium platform pumps, $124.99
4. Promise Shoes Accent colorblock ankle strap sandals, $49.99, all at Heels

And solely because of Giuseppe Zanotti’s striped slingback pumps, we’re also expecting to see more stripes on shoes this year:

Guess Hondola cork peep toe pumps, $94.99 at Heels

We might be seeing more of mirrored shoe styles as well because metallics are just not enough for 2012:

Jean-Michel Cazabat Ola mirrored open toe pumps, $300.00 at Shopbop

Lastly, we hope that the comfortable shoe trend carries on in 2012. Be it buckled boots, sporty sneakers or classic Doc Martens, we’re up for it this year! :

Steve Madden Banddit buckle boots, $169.95 at Endless

Come to think of it, that’s kind of like a revival of the 90s tomboyish, grunge style right there. Fearless shoe forecast? We have to wait and see (and cross our fingers) if it’ll catch on!

For today’s entry, we’re highlighting 10 of those boots. If you’re a ...Read more]]> Sorry if we’re obsessed with SAKS this week. We can’t help it.

Check out our top 5 picks for boots this cold-weather season, all guaranteed to be able to take ...Read more]]> While we can all appreciate a glittery pump, a jewel-encrusted sandal or a sky-high stiletto, we’d all still pass them over for a sturdy, sensible and comfortable shoe if we had to choose one to wear for everyday. And for this fall/winter season that’s getting increasingly colder and colder, we can’t choose a better everyday go-to shoe than a good ol’ trustworthy boot!

Check out our top 5 picks for boots this cold-weather season, all guaranteed to be able to take you all over the city. Although we couldn’t resist sneaking one boot in a trendy style, it’s still a very versatile and all-around boot, which is also surprisingly as popular this fall/winter as it was last spring/summer.

The low suede ankle boot

First on the list is this low suede ankle boot, the shoe style that was a surprise hit last summer. The Isabel Marant ‘Forbes’ reigned as the supreme must-have suede ankle boot followed very closely by the Joie ‘Elvis’.

This ‘Jamison’ ankle boot from DV by Dolce Vita absolutely gets those two boots’ style, without the high price tag of course. For something with more color choices, you can also try the Steven by Steve Madden Pembrook ankle boot which is also an affordable alternative at $99.99.

DV by Dolce Vita Jamison suede ankle boot, $119.00

The motorcycle boot

Next up is this rough, tough and ready to ride motorcycle boot. We love this boot’s knee high height as opposed to the usual mid-calf length. Miz Mooz is also known for their great fit so this is truly one you-can’t-go-wrong boot.

Miz Mooz Kellen motorcycle boot, $162.93 to $239.95

The classic riding boot

For those who believe that classics never go out of style, this timeless riding boot from AK Anne Klein is IT. This comes in five different colors but this medium brown is the perfect color to pair with warm plaid flannel shirts, dark wash jeans and classic cut peacoats.

AK Anne Klein Craslee leather riding boot, $113.04 to $169.98

The flat over-the-knee boot

We believe that thigh high boots have become a wardrobe staple now but for something more subtle and easier to wear, we go a little lower to just over-the-knee. Over-the-knee boots still have that sexy, vampish look but couple that with a flat sole and you’ve got one stylish yet still functional everyday boot.

Chinese Laundry Night Owl over-the-knee boot, $79.64 to $94.95

The waterproof boot

For those dreadful weather days when all you care about is staying warm and dry, a hard-wearing, ultra-warm, waterproof boot will take care of you. This Sorel boot has been tried and tested in extreme weather conditions so it should do its job of keeping you warm and dry without you having to worry about them for a single moment.

Sorel Helen Of Tundra II, $109.98 to $149.95

All of our boot picks can be found at Endless. Some of these boots have special offers placed on them so check out Endless now if you want to score a deal on these boots!
