The Best Shoe Fads Ever

The Best Shoe Fads Ever

Fab footwear that we can't get enough of -- past, present and future!

Boat Shoes

Although many prepsters will claim these flats never went out of style, we're glad boat shoes have made a comeback since their stint in the '90s. We might not be sailing, but these shoes are perfect for casual weekends out.


Jellies

The jelly shoes trend entered the style scene in the '80s. After a hiatus, they're back and cuter than ever!

Gladiators

We first laid our eyes on these trendy sandals a couple of summer seasons ago. At first, many of us were skeptical, but fashionistas and non-fashionistas alike have embraced them, and are wearing them with dresses, shorts and skirts in gold, brown and black tones.

Ballet Flats

Ever since we stepped into them, we were sold! We hope ballet flats are "in" forever because not only are they comfortable, they practically go with everything!

Uggs

They might not be the sleekest, chicest boots around, but what they lack in looks, they make up for in comfort. Even better, these sheepskin boots also keep our feet and shins warm in the winter.

Clogs

We loved clogs in the '90s, and wore them with everything from denim shorts to dressy trousers. They have recently made a comeback, and while some style fiends have yet to hop on board (us included!), we can't deny how pretty some of the new ones are to look at. They have come a long way!

Booties

Where would we be without our ankle booties? They're a great addition to any wardrobe -- doesn't matter the season. We love them so much, they've proven to be our go-to shoes for skinny denim and chic dresses.

Dr. Martens

We first wore "Docs" with our flannel shirts and ripped jeans in the '90s. This time around, we're wearing them with tights and fabulous skinny jeans. They've gone from grunge to chic!

Crocs

Sorry Crocs-wearers! They are kind of ugly. However, they've made our list because they are the most comfortable pair of shoes ever.

Minnetonkas

This Native American-esque comeback shoe is a godsend. Not only are Minnetonkas uber-comfy, they're also adorable to look at.

Oxfords

These style of lace-up flats are back after decades of hiatus. First made popular in Scotland and Ireland, oxfords have made it on many fashionistas' feet.

MY THOUGHTS

shoes - i just love this topic. i have to admit, i never bothered to get myself a pair of crocs. booties and uggs are just not for comfortable wear in temperate countries. i did buy a couple of ankle boots. not a good buy. just not for me.
