Need to Know Footwear Trends for SS 2014

February 28, 2014

With the weather warming up and winter starting to fade into the distance, it's time to make sure you've got the low-down on footwear trends for the Spring/Summer 2014 fashion season.

We’ve teamed up Isabelle Cassel at leading online shoe retailer, Spartoo, to bring you the definitive guide to what trends are set to be big.

As Isabelle explains, “the Spring/Summer 2014 season will be positive and colorful with a bit of edge. It’s time to say goodbye to 10cm heels, and instead welcome colorful prints, wedge soles and 90’s inspiration”.

Isabelle runs through the four big trends not to miss:

XXL Sole

TUK has already set the bar high for other brands. Platforms are everywhere from sneakers, boots, and sandals, showcasing soles such as cleated and creeper. Dare you wear these Spring/Summer “IT” shoes?

Colorful trainers

Spring weather is perfect for outdoor sports, and what better way to prepare for the warm temperatures than grabbing a pair of new trainers.

This year, iconic running shoes are being revisited: keeping the retro style while adding some pep. Brazil and its World Cup wouldn’t have a word on this fusion of colors. There is definitely a combination of sport and playfulness.

Be sure you to get yours before they run away.

Checkers

Checkers win unanimous support from both men and women. The black and white duo brings contrasts to every look.

The Angie style, from the Danish brand Lola Ramona, combined femininity and the checkers trend. Vans redesigned its legendary classic slip on with a black and blue checker style. While the brand Vagabond mixed trends – checkers and platforms – for its style HOLLY.
