Heels have always been big on the red carpet. The coveted Jimmy Choos and the red-soled Christian Laboutin shoes are just a couple of reasons women spend so much on shoes that will kill their feet at the end of the night.
Prancing in heels gives women a sense of power and sexiness that helps us all pull off the teeniest of dresses. This season, the high heels are out and the flats are back.
Sebastian Manes, the director of accessories at Selfridges told TimesOnline, thinks that shoe trends are going one way only. “Last season the high heel moved away from being sexy and became very avant-garde — this season designers prove that the flat shoe is not boring or conservative. It is as fashion-forward as heels.
Pam Brady, the shoe buyer for Browns thinks that flats are a fashion result of the recession. “People don’t want to be showy in this economic climate; there’s a trend towards understated style. Ironically, flats may well cost as much as showier heels, but the perception of them is very different.”
