Fall /Winter 2016/17 Shoe Trends

So while you begin to plan the wardrobe for the cooler months ahead, we at Liberty Shoes have put together a comprehensive list of what exactly to look for when setting up you ensembles.

Think classy and fun at the same time, multiple decades blending into one. There are few entirely new looks and many which have been recycled and redone to match the year’s needs and general mood, one which has moved away from the 1970s Western for the most part, but still retains residues, and incorporated the ‘80s and ‘90s a whole lot more, while focusing on the futuristic as well.

1) Pointy Toes

One of the biggest shoe trends is the use of the pointy toe, though we did notice some rounding off in a few places.

It appears throughout, from black leather detailed pumps and suede ankle shoes seen at CESARE PACIOTTI, to the ankle leather boots with the lacing on top as seen at BARBARA BUI.

2) Shoes with Multiple Buckled Straps

If you like the gladiator look, love the strappy shoes and are all for the silver hued hardware added everywhere, you will absolutely adore the CESARE PACIOTTI BOOTS.

Multiple buckled straps appear to make for the loveliest in evening pumps as seen at Guiseppe Zanotti.

3) Lace-Up Footwear

We see a whole lot of the lacing on the clothing as well as the fall 2016-17 footwear. When it comes to the latter, boots are the more prominent creations using this trend and definitely looking lovely.In the meantime, picking up a pair of black leather ankle pointy-toe booty from CESARE PACIOTTI should do the trick. Adding a touch of feminine grace to the season is seen at RENE CAOVILLA with their black/gold lace up open toe, glamour sandal to take you dancing all night.

We thought that the gladiator pieces would be going out of style soon but we were mistaken it appears. With a few updates to the overall looks of the footwear, we can easily say that gladiator boots are here to stay for quite a while longer as seen at CESARE PACIOTTI.

4) Shoes with Ankle Straps

Single straps or multiple, the ankle strap look is huge for the upcoming colder seasons and there is no way not to love the style. It elongates the legs, shows off the ankle, slims out the feet and generally looks fabulous. We see the style all over, from the classic chic looks at RENE CAOVILLA , to GUISEPPE ZANOTTI'S sexy single and double ankle strap sandals.

5) Suede Shoes

Lovely grey or neutral colours on suede shoes/sandals are trending, especially when you add on some detail and have the whole thing stop at the ankles or under the knee. GUISEPPE ZANOTTI has out done him self with his suede drop crystal sandal, fit for a princess.

While at MISSONI the pop of colour will accent any winter wardrobe.

A twist on a classic from ROBERT CLERGERIE, clean, sculptural modern lines seen in his blue/black suede boot and sandal. These are a perfect addition to this seasons collectables.

6) Square Heels

It does not seem apparent at first, but one of the top fall 2016-17 shoe trends to be found on the runways is indeed the square heel. Yes, there are stilettos. Yes there are platforms. Yes there are kitten heels, but it is the square look that really sets the stage, whether it is on a simple shoe or a boot or a sandal even. The simple square heel is all you really need as height is not needed for everyone, nor should it be coveted by the tallest.

7) Knee-Length Boots

Since we are looking at colder months and snow, rains, perhaps some hail throughout the winter seasons especially, the knee-length boots are exactly what the doctor ordered really.
