The Shoes of Summer

by Kori on July 10th, 2007

Welcome to ShoeBlitz.com, where we will talk about latest trends in shoe fashions from top designers to discount shoes.

Here we are in the midst of summer - a fabulous time to show off your pedicure in a variety of sandals, open-toed pumps and flip flops. My favorite summertime shoes are espadrilles.

Espadrilles are sandals that originate from the Pyrenees. They are usually made with canvas or cotton uppers and a sole made from rope (or some material that appears to be rope). They can be flat, platform or wedge heels and come in so many styles are price ranges that there’s a pair (or three) out there for everyone.

Here’s some of my favorite looks in espadrilles this season.

These adorable Fornarina espadrille wedges from come in three summer color and have a great looking ankle wrap that makes them oh, so chic. Pair them with a sundress or a terrific pair of capris.

Polka dots are all the rage this summer. Not exactly your typical espadrilles, these 4″ heels from Gabrielle Rocha have rope espadrille trim around the front and a buckle ankle band. Fabulous shoes for stepping out on the town on a hot summer night.

Far and away my favorite espadrilles of the summer, these Stuart Weitzman thong sandals are a must have. The platform wedge sole is just high enough. Wear them with just about anything this summer, including shorts, jeans, capris or a flowing skirt.

Espadrilles are my favorite shoes of summer. What are yours?
