Protect Your Expensive Shoes from Damage While Driving

September 2nd, 2009 Rhonda No comments

Damage or premature wear on your heeled shoes from driving can be frustrating, especially if you’ve made significant investments in your shoes.

Driving with heels can permanently damage shoes with scuffs and scrapes.  Leather can also become crinkled with that worn look at the vamp way too soon!   Indeed, this is not a pretty sight!driving shoe

There are a couple of solutions to this problem.   One of the most popular solutions is to change into another pair of shoes when driving.

This is certainly worth doing to protect the shoes you love from damage!

One option is to change into sneakers or some other sport shoe.  Another option is to change into driving shoes.

Driving shoes are great because they are specially designed for maneuvering the pedals and providing foot support while driving.

I usually keep a pair of driving shoes in the car to change into when I’m wearing heels.

A good driving shoe will be lightweight, form fitting (the vamp and heel fitting snuggly without slipping out), and will have good traction on the sole, extending up the back of the heel.

Some of the more attractive driving shoes have just enough traction on the back of the heel without looking like a “driving shoe”.

Here are some tres chic driving shoes that are also cute enough to wear casually when you’re not driving!

If changing shoes is not convenient for you, don’t despair!   There is another solution: the Heel Shield by Achilles Shield.

theheelshield

Keep the Heel Shield in your car and just clip them on the back of your shoes while driving.

They are made of recycled plastic and can also be ordered in a variety of colors and textures, such as black crocodile and pink ostrich.

There are other similar products out there but Heel Shields has gotten the best reviews.

The Heel Shield sells for $15.99.    This is really a small investment to protect the shoes you love!

Elizabeth and James Fall 2009 Shoes

August 13th, 2009 Rhonda No comments

 
Elizabeth and James, the fashion label of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, recently expanded to include a shoe line that was launched in collaboration with Steve Madden earlier this year.   I’m usually a bit skeptical when yet another celebrity shoe line is launched, but any skepticism I had is gone.  For these stylish siblings, fashion and shoe design is not a side project or a business deal to get publicity.  It is a passion that is expressed in their amazing shoe designs.

Beautifully crafted of fine Italian leathers, Elizabeth and James shoes have a full range of styles, including flats, heels, and boots.   The new Fall 2009 Collection just out is absolutely stunning!  Rich textures, lush shades of neutrals along with some darker fall colors, and cutting edge designs best describes this new collection now available at Zappos.com.

Biviel Shoes: Cute and Comfortable Flats

August 4th, 2009 Rhonda No comments


For those looking for style and comfort in a shoe, Biviel Shoes deliver!   A sister company to the Spanish-based shoe company, Blay, Biviel shoes are made with the finest materials that include uppers made of soft Italian calfskin leathers and soles made of rubber imported from Germany.   While the Biviel collection has a full range of footwear styles from boots to sandals, my favorite Biviel shoes are their flats.

Biviel flats are the perfect shoes to complete your casual outfits and are also great for the office.  The square toe that can be found on most of their flats has a large enough toe box yet the shoe does not have that large bubble look that you get with some shoes that have large toe boxes.   The heel cup is also very well-designed so that it comes higher up on the heel for a better fit.

I personally own 3 pairs of Biviel flats and they are the most flattering and comfortable flats I own!   Here are a couple of their new designs just recently out for Fall.

Biviel Shoes BV2265

The Biviel BV2265 Flat has a square-toe and a fine leather decoration folded over at the toes with two large stitches on either side for classic look.   Available in oak leather, black leather, or purple suede.

Biviel Shoes BV2262 flats

The Biviel BV2262 Flat has a square-toe and woven leather decoration with detail stitching at the toes for a naturally stylish look.   Available in olive, saddle, or black leather.

Currently, Endless shoes also has many of their Biviel shoes on sale right now, starting as low as $50!   This is a great deal on Biviel shoes.   Click here to view all Biviel Brand shoes, including their boots, sandals, pumps, and flats.

Cut Out Wedge Sandals

June 24th, 2009 Rhonda No comments


Shoes with cut out details in the heels are a trend that has been gaining popularity over the last few years.  These cut out designs can be seen in many shoe collections, from high-end designer shoes to their lower-end counterparts.  This season, there are some interesting variations among the cut out wedge designs we are seeing and they range from the extreme statement to the contemporary modern styles.

Below, Giuseppe Zanotti, puts a large cut out in the platform that spans the entire length of the shoe which gives quite a dramatic effect that appears to defy gravity.   Other designers, such as Italian designer, Enio Silla, of Le Silla has designed a shoe with a traditional stiletto heel and a cut out in the platformed front of the sole.

With clear acrylic leather-lined upper and a such a large cut out in the platform of this sandal, this sandal by Giussepe Zanotti gives the illusion of walking on air.

You can get this Giuseppi Zanotti sandal at Endless Shoes or Zappos

    There are 2 things that I like about Charles David Shoes….their amazing fashion forward designs and their affordable prices.

    The Charles David Jester feature strappy patent leather in pearlized brown or black, gold tone studded accents, and an approximately 4 inch heel and 3/4 inch platform.The Charles David Jester Wedge Sandal is available at Endless Shoes,  

    When I think of Calvin Klein, I think of clean, classic, and chic designs.   The Calvin Klein Yabb has all this as well as an ultra modern silhouette that can be seen in the side view below.
