Spring 2009 Shoes Trends: A Rainbow of Color
Posted on April 10th, 2009 by galligator under BCBG Shoes, Boots, Brian Atwood, Christian Dior Shoes, Christian Louboutin Shoes, Costume National Shoes, Flats, High heels, Jimmy Choo Shoes, Loeffler Randall Shoes, Platforms, Pumps, Roberto Cavalli Shoes, Sandals, Sergio Rossi Shoes, Slingbacks, Spring 2009 Shoes, Trend Alert, Valentino Shoes, Wedges, ZapposWhile economic events have been a bit dreary over the past six months or so, it’s nice to see that we won’t have to worry about being stuck with spring shoe options that are either conservative or gloomy.
So, what am I seeing at online retailers as well as in every brick-and-mortar store with a shoe section?
Color.
What kind of color? From Payless to Macy’s to Saks, just about every primary, prism-based color is on tempting display.
So, if you like bold colors, then this is the season for you.
Here are some (mostly) high-end highlights.
Red:
Christian Louboutin ‘Madame Claude’ D’orsay Pumps $795 at Saks.com
Valentino ‘Mena’ Day Wear Pumps $695 at Saks.com
BCBGMaxazria Patent and Rafia* Sandals $250 at Saks.com
Orange:
Dior ‘Klimt’ T-strap Sandal $570 at Saks.com
Miu Miu patent leather wedges $570 at Net-a-porter
Yellow:
Christian Louboutin Platform pumps $736 at Saks.com
Brian Atwood ‘Riva’ patent sandals $725 at Net-a-porter
Green:

What if you want to play with the whole rainbow instead of just choosing by the individual color? Well, multi-hued styles are available too. Heck, many of us are just starting to experience 2009’s first rainy, spring-time weather; it’s as good a reason as any to bring your own rainbow to the party.
Nine West ‘Mudpie’ bamboo*-wrapped slide $88.95 at Endless.com
T.U.K Rainbow Heart Strap Heel $60.50 at Zappos.com
Jimmy Choo Open-Toe Sandals $825 at Saks.com

Here’s to a colorful and optimistic spring.
* See, you really can’t get away from cork & rafia this year.

I love LOVE the Dior Klimt sandal, as well as the Loeffler Randal wooden sandal. Right now I’m all about colorful gladiators, and I’ll use online rebates to help with the cost!
