We all know how much The Diva loves designer shoes and that’s why she wanted to share all her favouite types of shoes with you all! There are so many different types of shoes on the Viva La Diva website with many new trends popping up all the time, so here’s a useful guide to all the different types of shoes.
Ankle strap shoes – a recent shoe fashion trend that features a strap around the ankle for fashion and comfort, making the shoe or sandals fit much better. Lots of strappy sandals are ankle strap shoes, but there are also now many sandals with cuffs and court shoes with ankle straps.
Court shoes – typically a full shoe with a closed back, some court shoes have a rounded toe, others a pointy toes, while lots have cute peep toe. A great versatile shoe in lots of styles.
Flat shoes – pretty simple, but flat shoes do come in all shapes and sizes including ballet pumps, ladies’ brogues, loafers, slip on shoes and much more. Flats are certainly back.
Flip flops – they’re the perfect summer footwear for the beach or out and about, and flip flops aren’t just flip flops anymore, they’re bedazzled with diamantes, jewels and sequins!
Mules – basically a style of slip on shoes that don’t have any straps around the sides or back of the shoes, come in lots of styles from flat to high heeled mules.
Platform shoes – a popular style of shoe that first made it big in the 70s with the boho look, platform shoes have a thick sole that is typically approximately 1in although there are more extreme styles.
Sandals – sandals come in all shapes and sizes from gladiator sandals and summer sandals to strappy sandals and flip flops. One of the most popular and wide ranging shoe types.
Shoe boots – one of this year’s hottest shoe trends, shoe boots also known as shooties and booties are taller than a shoe but shorter than an ankle boot and are oh so perfect.
Slingbacks – a really comfortable and well fitting style of shoe, slingbacks feature a strap around the back of the foot that firmly holds it in place, they come in strappy and full shoe designs.
Stilettos – they’re the ultimate sexy shoe design with a tall pointy heel that tapers towards the end, they generally come in court shoe or peep toe designs but also sandals.
Wedges – it seems like ladies’ wedges are everywhere right now and it’s no wonder why, they give extra height with their chunky sole and they’re really comfortable to walk in.
