Default enough with the clear plastic, already!

Here's one shoe trend I can't wait to see the back of:

clear plastic uppers

I mean, what better way to make an attractive shoe look cheap and ugly. Take, for example, these otherwise nice looking Michael Kors Forrest sandals:




Adding a big chunky plastic strap on there may hold the shoe on your feet better, but come on! Who are you kidding? It's not going to look invisible. It's not going to look like the shoe is magically held on your foot. It's going to look like there's a big shiny plastic strap over the arch of your foot. It's possibly going to make your skin bunch up all funny, maybe leaving red marks in the process. And it's certainly going to make your foot sweatier.

Does anyone out there like this look of the clear plastic uppers? I must say (as if it's not obvious by now) that I most emphatically do not!

Get used to it. I was at the shoe show this past week and for resort 2008 most of the vendors had some sort of vinyl showing in a handful of there shoes.

I found these in my ritual perusal of zappos and was reminded of this thread.

These have been extremely popular. Jack Rogers has always been a great summer shoe and they seemed to have jumped on board with the whole vinyl thing. What's funny is these are $89 while Stuart Weitzman has copied this style from Jack Rogers with a little bit of a twist which I'm sure will be priced over $100.

Definitely not picking up on the plastic vibe. Ew! I agree with jitterbugbaby 100%.

plastic shoes are not in these days. The high heels and flat one are always in. If you want to check out the reviews, articles, compare prices or even want to buy any shoes then i have found a great site check out

TrendyHeel.com - ladies shoes, heels, platforms, womens boots, community, forum, articles, fashion, dress shoes

I hope you will like it
