International Sizes?
Posted on May 27, 2011 | No CommentsQ: My shoe number in EU is size 40. I have ordered size 9.5. Is that correct? A: Dear Lisbeth - With no additional information on the shape, width or girth of your feet, 9.5 would be our best guess for you. If they fit, that's great. But whether or not they are a perfect fit, please read our articles...... -
Hammer Toe Tips
Posted on May 25, 2011 | No CommentsMy elderly aunt has very painful and difficult feet to fit. She wears a size 11.5 and needs a wider rounded toe to accommodate her hammer toes, but has a narrow heel. Also, she does better with her heel slightly higher than her toes, but not more than 1 inch. Can you recommend any shoe styles for me to look at for her??....................A: Dear Kristen-Aren't you the perfect grand -
Shoe Art Project: Final Designs Part 2
Posted on May 18, 2011 | No CommentsAnnika Benitz along with a packed audience witnessed her maternity wear walk down the runway on May 7, 2011. The venue for Massachusetts College of Art and Design’s Senior Collection Fashion Show, Voltage 2011, was held in the open-air Power Station in South Boston. The exposed brick paired nicely with the warmth of the flooding light from the runway. It was thrilling to see everyone’s hard work and care for their collections over the past year. Below is an opportunity to see what came before Annika’s vibrant solutions to shoes from DesignerShoes.com for the expectant mother, as well as... -
Shoe Art Project: Final Designs
Posted on May 18, 2011 | No CommentsKatey Reim’s final designs for the collaboration of DesignerShoes.com and Massachusetts College of Art and Design are finally here! Katey’s hard work and efforts will be on display at the MassArt Senior Collection Exhibit at 5:00pm on Wednesday, May 18th. Here are the before pictures to show a comparison of the starting point to the bold and colorful designs Katey has come up with. Katey mentioned earlier that her end result is nothing like how she envisioned. This was about the journey, learning about what was possible for the design, and finding what worked best in approaching the shoes. It... -
The Shoe Art Project: Before the Show Part 2
Posted on May 7, 2011 | No CommentsMeeting with Katey Reim a week before MassArt’s Voltage 2011 Show demonstrated that her approach to recreating dyeable shoes has been about the process. Her technique involves wrapping the shoes with her own handmade fabrics as well as using pigment and hand painting the fabric. She has chosen to remove some preexisting elements from the original designs, such as some rhinestones. The end result has been nothing like she had anticipated. It was hard to believe that one is seeing the same shoes they began with a month ago. -
The Shoe Art Project: Before the Show
Posted on May 7, 2011 | No CommentsIt is the morning of May 7, 2011, and tonight is the MassArt Fashion Show, Voltage 2011. The show will feature Senior Collections. I met with Annika Benitz back in April as she began planning how she was going to redesign dyeable shoes in order to pair with her maternity collection, donated by DesignerShoes.com. Her solutions are virtually unrecognizable from the first time we met, and have been transformed into artistic creations. -
Long Narrow Feet !
Posted on April 28, 2011 | 2 CommentsQ: I have a long, narrow, foot, with one foot being a full size larger than the other – more like a 12 AAA on one foot and 11 AAA for the other. You told me quite some time ago about the problem you are having with shoe companies eliminating the narrow sizes and your hope to find some that would be more accommodating to the needs of so many of us. Whenever I order 12 N, I literally walk right out of both of the shoes – a lot of the “cute” shoes only go up to 11 M... -
Shoes For Getting Back in Shape
Posted on April 20, 2011 | No CommentsQ: Dear Shoe Lady, I am getting back in shape and thought I would start fresh with a new pair of sneakers. Do you have any ideas of all-purpose gym shoes? –Joyce A: Hi Joyce, New Balance has a large selection of women’s sports shoes, and are great with varied widths and sizes. I would suggest searching for something lightweight and with enough flexibility to work with your different exercise routines. This New Balance Wx812gl in lime is a stylishly bright color with the ever-important durability. This New Balance Wr737gp in silver offers more ankle support. This bold silver on... -
Kitten Heels: Heels Without The Sacrifice
Posted on April 20, 2011 | No CommentsQ: Dear Shoe Lady, I love the dramatic look of high heels, but in reality prefer extended comfort. Any suggestions? __Stephanie A: Hi Stephanie, A happy compromise would be kitten heels. I have been seeing more of them around lately as one of the Spring 2011 trends. They will give you the longer wear while fulfilling your heel criteria. The attention of the higher heel can be redirected to the drama of a stunning pattern or finish of the shoe to make up for a lower heel, and save your feet! This orange Waikiki slide by Forgotten Soles boasts a... -
My Maxi Dress Needs the Right Shoe
Posted on April 17, 2011 | No CommentsQ: Dear Shoe Lady, This summer I am going to brave wearing a maxi dress as a casual option. What do you believe might go well with one? –Dana A: Hi Dana, Maxi dresses can be elegant, romantic, fun, and were designed well for the summer months. I am pleased to see them making another round this season. Here are a few options to start with for a nice pairing. Gleam by Annie in silver has a simple yet bold buckle. Royal Gold by Fit in Clouds is a good option when harnessing the inner fairy tale princess or ballerina....
