Spring 2014: 5 Must-Have Footwear Trends

Give your fall and winter booties a spring update with peep toe booties, appropriate for the season. Wedges, laser cut leather, and summer hues make these styles perfect for your summer dresses or a pair of lace shorts for a night out. Don’t underestimate the power of a little toe cleavage.

An overwhelmingly popular trend for the season, expect to see lace-up details appear on flats, heels and booties of all kind. Varied with different interpretations, skin-revealing vamps, knee high lacing and ankle closures, lace-up styles are definitely a must-have for spring.
