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.

This sandal features snake-embossed leather upper with elastic straps at the ankle.  Also available in brown elastic/cream snake-embossed leather.

Here is a another great design from Charles David.  The contrast of the white croc-embossed leather with the lacquered cut out wedge heel emphasizes the clean and sophisticated style of this sandal.   If you do not already have white sandals, the Charles David Jojo is a great option.  Also available in dark brown or turquoise.   The  Charles David – Jojo Wedge is available at Zappos and Piperlime shoes

As shoe collections debut, we see how each shoe designer translates the emerging trends for that season.   Sometimes the variation is on an old classic, or it’s something new that we’ve not seen before, and sometimes it’s something outrageous.  Whatever the case may be, these creations are fun to see for those of us that love shoes!

I’ve been shopping to replace a favorite pair of black slingback sandals that fit like a glove.   The shoe that I’ve had my eye on is the Theory Vella from Jildor Shoes.   However, there are so many other variations on this style that it’s difficult to decide on just one pair!
