Everyday shoes for summer

Saturday, April 14, 2012



I honestly cannot decide on an everyday summer shoe. I know I want something I can wear with skirts, shorts, pants, whatever... and it needs to be somewhat flat (perhaps a flatform) and a neutral colour. To clarify, it needs to be some sort of white, black or grey.

An everyday summer shoe is the simplest of all the shoes in a girl's closet. They're sort of cute and trendy when you wear them correctly and don't demand a lot of upkeep. To be completely honest, these shoes normally get totally destroyed within two seasons of wear. They're for the days you can't even imagine sitting down and buckling, strapping or zipping and most definitely cannot even attempt the challenge of getting your hot summery feet into leather wedges or strappy sandals. This particular, special, breed of shoes reminds me of being 14 and wanting to throw something on my feet and hop on my bike to ride over to my best friend's house and have a sleepover for a week.

The above are the five shoes to which I keep returning. The ASOS Dino Flatform Trainer is easily the cleanest looking and would be nice because it could be easily worn with cute socks to dress up a girly outfit. However, the Toms are looking very attractive because of their sheer effortless pull-on/pull-off style. Needless to say, I'm a tad stumped.  Please tell me which one to buy, you lovely readers you! I'll be eternally grateful and so will my feet. If you know of any other fabulously simply everyday shoes, share them with me! Keep in mind I'm a size 8.5/9 (my dad has size 14 and my sister is a 10/11 so it clearly runs in the family) and have the ankles of a young child so high tops are more or less out of the question since they make my feet look very disproportionate in comparison to the rest of my leg.

    1. I bought a pair of black converse with a super short front.. they're like the girly slip on version. Got 'em for about $50 so I have room for one more pair in my "casual" shoe budget. I'll go check out Toms for sure!
