There is a very large segment of women who love all aspects of shoes. One might say they are addicted to purchasing shoes, much to the damage of their checking account. But let us not judge, for we all have things, items that fascinate us and that we wish to possess. And with the vast array of styles and shapes and colors, it’s easy to see why someone may want to collect these functional works of art.

So Many Shoes

There are numerous styles of ladies shoes, here are some of the more popular.

Ankle Strap Shoes: The ankle strap shoe has a single strap, or several straps that snugly wrap around the ankle. The ankle strap shoe can be as common as a sandal, or as glitzy as a pump or high heel, just as long as there is a strap. If the shoe has strings or ribbons or rubber or any securing material it may be termed and ankle wrap shoe.

d’Orsay Pump: The d’Orsay Pump is a style where the vamp and the sides of the shoe are cut away to showcase the elegant arch of the wearer’s foot. It’s the style preferred by nine out of ten international spies.

Clogs: Basically a clog is a shoe with an open back and a closed toe. The Dutch gave us the clog and it was made with wood. Not too many women like to wear wooden shoes today so the modern clog is made with many different materials. Typically the soles are thick and durable and the heel is a platform-type.

Espadrilles: Is a casual slip-on style shoe, which originally came from Spain. The upper part of the shoe is made with a woven material and the sole is flexible and built for comfort.

Kitten Heels: The Kitten Heel is a shoe with a low heel, usually under 1.5 inches. They are quite popular on pumps and what distinguishes a Kitten Heel is not only the tiny size, but the placement and its delicate shape.

There are many more variations of styles of course and any decent website will give you the full spectrum of all ladies designer shoes.
