Wooden-heeled shoes are very popular this season and come in many attractive styles. There is no better artist when that artist is Mother Nature. The natural beauty of the earthy wood grain paired with quality leather uppers on a beautifully designed shoe will add style and a timeless quality to your look.

Popular design features of wooden heeled shoes include beautiful sculpted and cutout wedges, clog-style studs and other hardware on sandals, sexy leather cutouts, and stunning shoe designs that will easily take you through Summer and into early Fall in style.

Such unique shoe designs that we are seeing this season often make it difficult to classify a shoe as a sandal, a wedge, or a clog. They resemble classic styles but have a completely modern spin. So, whether you shun the classic clog or love the throwback style, you’re sure to find a style that will suit your tastes!

As a follow up to our recent post on classic contemporary clogs, here are our top 10 picks for wooden heeled shoes that don’t exactly fit the classic clog design.

The alluring Elie Tahari Sage Clogs (shown below) are cage style sandals with a beautiful wooden heel and platform.   Bold and stylish, these sandals will certainly stand out in a crowd!

Check out these utterly fabulous and sexy Frye Dara Honeycomb Slingback Sandals (shown below).  It’s all in the details as you can see! I love the studs details on the leather upper and the woven leather that surrounds the wooden platform.

So chic are these Jimmy Choo ‘Urban’ Sandals (shown below) with their rich suede leather and golden studs atop a gorgeous earthy wooden heel and platform.

You’ll be right on trend in these Clog Sandals from Marc by Marc Jacobs (shown below).  I love the gorgeous leather and the tie front. The chunky heel and platform is well-balanced by the simple, yet flattering, 2 piece styling on the leather upper.

These edgy MIA Limited Edition ‘Adelphie’ Wedge Sandals (shown below) are styled with antiqued studs atop a sassy wooden wedge heel.

The MICHAEL Michael Kors ‘Sycamore’ Wedge Sandals (shown below) are styled with wide leather straps are tunneled through the sculpted wooden heel of a chic platform sandal fitted with an adjustable buckle.

So unique and stylish are these Rachel Comey Badger Twist Platform Sandals (shown below).  I love the lines on this sandal!  The unique leather straps and ankle wrap on the upper and the earthy solid wood heel and platform just seem to come together perfectly. They are a bit pricey but the quality is superior and the style is timeless making this a worthy investment.

These Ralph Lauren Collection Timila Sandals (shown below) have classic styling with studs and a braided leather rope around the ankle. The wooden, tapered high heel is offset by a generous platform for comfort, and the burnished leather upper are studded with gold.

The See by Chloe Wodden Wedge Sandals (shown below) is without a doubt my favorite of this selection. I love the modern, yet earthy design of these shoes and they will easily take you from Summer into Fall.

These Stuart Weitzman Apron Clog Sandals (shown below) came out early this Spring and are great transition shoes for Fall.  If you are having trouble finding your size in this popular sandals, check out this online retailer.

Frye Riding Boots are not only a classic boot but they are currently a popular style among boots trends this season. With all of the sky high heels and platforms, they are also a comfortable alternative to looking chic during Fall and Winter. Riding boots typically have a 1 inch or less heel, making them super comfy, yet stylish at the same time.

Here are some of the latest riding boot styles by Frye…

The Frye Paige Tall Riding Boot features a traditional, timeless silhouette with chic lines defined by a top stitched leather overlay on the front. Shown here in black, the Paige Riding Boot is also available in brown, dark brown, or tan.

The Frye Paige Clovertab Cuff Riding Boot features vintage leather with prominent clovertab hardware laid across a suede insert.  Shown here in fawn, the Paige Clovertab Boot is also available in black or cognac.

The Frye Melissa Button Riding Boot features classic styling with buttons at the top of the shaft.   Shown here in fawn, the Melissa Button Boot is also available in cognac, dark brown, bordeaux, or black.

The Frye Dorado Riding Boots have buckle detailing and a 1 inch heel.   Shown here in black, the Dorado Riding Boots are also available in bordeaux, dark brown, or spice.

The Frye Shirley Riding Boot has hand-antiqued leather and buckle detailing at the top of the shaft and ankle.  The top of the shaft can be folded down or worn straight up.  Shown here in red-brown, the Shirley Riding Boot is also available in dark grey, black, or bordeaux.

Established in 1863, the Frye Company is the oldest shoe company in America. This long history has given them a reputation for making finely crafted, fashionable boots using the finest leathers and quality hardware.

Frye Riding Boots range from $300 – $500, but they are a worthy investment because they will last for years, looking better as the leather ages. You’ll want to care properly for your investment by using saddle soap are a good leather conditioner. This will ensure that your riding boots look great for many years.

Riding boots are meant to be sleek and form fitting, so make sure that your riding boots fit snuggly against your leg. If you find your leather riding boots to fit a bit too snuggly around your leg, try taking them to a cobbler to have the leather stretched.

If you only have one pair of riding boots among your boot collection, black or brown boots will have the most versatility among your Fall and Winter wardrobe pieces. You can wear your riding boots with leggings or with pants tucked inside. They can also be worn with dresses or skirts. Be sure that the hem line is above the top of the boot and, for a polished look, wear tights in the same color as your boots to keep the lines of your outfit.

I’ve been drawn to navy blue boots ever since I spotted the Daria Boot by Donald J Pliner. Now I’m seeing many other brands with blue boots in their Fall/Winter collections.   Navy blue boots stand out because they are an unusual color for leather and not the usual black or brown shade that we see and wear so often. However, navy blue boots are more versatile than you would think because they go with so many things and they are a great way to add color to your Fall/Winter wardrobe. Wear them with neutrals, such as black, brown, camel, and grey or with complementary colors such as orange, blues, and yellows.

There are quite a few navy blue boots available now and in quite a few styles, including both knee high and ankle boots. Here are a few of my favorite navy blue boots…

Donald J Pliner Daria navy blue boots in denim oilskin feature sexy lace up closure and a tractor platform sole.

Gabriella Rocha Adair navy blue boots feature gold buckle and studs as well as a very reasonable 3 inch heel.

Vince Camuto Mikey in varsity blue in the ever so popular ankle boot style. The
Vince Camuto Mikey navy blue boots feature suede leather, rounded toe, stacked chunky heel, and an inside zipper closure.

Nine West Halfpint dark blue ankle boot features gorgeous suede and a low stacked heel at 2 inches. At less than $100.00, this is a very affordable option!

If you’ve decided to wear the western trend that is so popular now, here are some navy blue boots in western style…

Frye Carson pull on boot in sapphire features classic Western detailing with supple, slouchy antiqued soft full-grain leather with a self-lining so it can be worn fashionably cuffed.

Navy boots are a great way complement and add color to Fall/Winter wardrobe pieces in neutral shades. For many, navy is just the right amount of color without being too bright. It can also be classic and looks nice with traditional Fall patterns, such as plaids or tweeds. If boots aren’t your style, try some navy pumps or mules.

Navy comes in many hues and can be difficult to match with a blue outfit. It can also look a bit too matchy-matchy if matching with an all blue outfit. I find navy looks best when paired with neutrals and complementary colors.
