Ladies shoes are no longer worn as leg coverings, but they also project a lot about one's personality, and at times just to match the right outfit. There are several designs of ladies shoes, from heeled to flat ones, depending on the culture of the wearer, and the trends they subscribe to. The manufacturer and the material are some of the things that determine the price of the shoes.
High heeled shoes are usually preferred for formal meetings and social gatherings to bring out a lady's assertiveness. The sneakers, trainers and athletic shoes are designed for sports purposes, but are also chic in a fashion sense. During the warmer seasons, the other types of shoes that are frequented by the ladies include the wedge sandals, mules, sling backs, espadrilles and pumps.
The difference between the wedge and summer sandals lies in the ankle piece being higher in the wedge sandals, making them look like high heeled shoes. The mules resemble slippers for they are open at the posterior and offer no fitting around the heel. Sling backs have unsecured heels, with movable a strap to allow the shoe to come off rather than being fastened to the foot.
Originating in the Pyrenees, Espadrilles are the least frequently worn than other ladies shoes especially in the UK. They can be informal and high-heeled or flat and come in various designs. They are usually made with a rubber sole and a canvas that wraps around the wedge. The top parts are often made of cotton or canvas, and are brightly colored for the summertime.
The pump, named after ballerina pumps is the latest fad, very flat exposing much of the foot. They are fantastic for warm weather but also comfortable to wear all year around.
Clarks in the UK offer ladies shoes at very competitive prices and the convenience of online shopping too.
