Here is a selection of the most fashionable purple shoe designs for 2010.
If you are
interested in some new trendy footwear, then begin by
browsing through the berry range of colours. Purple and violet are particularly
fashionable colours in 2010.
This season boots and shoes are not just high,
but with their concealed platforms can be regarded as catwalk
high. Such shoes are designed more for glamour moments than
everyday and all day use.
However I would never tell another woman, when
or where, she should wear high heels. I only wish I was still able to wear very high pairs for more
than a couple of hours myself. Wearing vertiginous high heels
all your life does eventually take its toll on your back, so
spacing their wearing with intermediate heels and flatter shoes
is a healthy alternative and will enable you to wear heels later
in life too.
Don't give up high heels, but don't be a
slave to them. There is no rule that states these must-have
shoes must be worn 24/7.
But they do look so tempting don't they...

One of the most important pieces of footwear to
emerge in the past few seasons of late noughties fashion
history, has been that of the short ankle boot
and the shoe
boot. The shoe boot was initially worn to create a smooth line at the trouser
hem. But now shoe boots are also worn to toughen up skirt and
dress looks.
For the 2010 fashion season there are some great choices of high
purple shoes and boots and of course many of these styles
incorporate the concealed platform and they provide a contrast
to Ugg boots.

Manufacturers everywhere describe a whole range of tones as
purple although many have blue violet, claret and burgundy
tones. These shoe boots below were all described as purple by
public relations material, yet to my mind most of them are plum.

Party shoes like the stilettos will always be
popular for those who feel that only a very high heel gives them a
sense of 'being' ready to hit the town'.
Much of the footwear shown here could look good
with this damson velvet bow halter neck dress £160/192 by Untold
from House of Fraser. The black suede and leather reversible
clutch at £395 by Anya Hindmarch and black tights at £19 from
Wolford are all from House of Fraser. House of Fraser sells many
similar clothing and accessory lines online.
Many women appreciate the extra shoe support of some form
of bar strap, elastic band strap, or tie bow. Such a feature can
help a woman walk in a shoe that would otherwise be unsuitable,
not just because of heel height, but because many women have one
foot slightly smaller than the other foot. The ankle bar or
Mary Jane bar gives them extra confidence that the shoe will
actually stay on the foot.

Colour
adds a fresh modern touch to footwear, so getting the
latest multi-coloured footwear such as these purple
shoes and boots will bring pizzazz to your fashion day.
Zips, hard studs, add toughen up interest. Soft frills and
ruching add feminine contrasting novelty to footwear. There are
so many Winter 2010 footwear picks everyone is bound to be
suited.
The range of berry tones is great, but within the purple band
the tints and tones are as you can judge for yourself quite
amazing.
These
boots and shoes on this webpage span magenta, plum, aubergine, blueberry,
purple to lilac.
Berry Colour Boots
Suede is strongly featured this season and it
lends itself well to laser cut-out work. Being soft it is also
very suitable for fold-back highwayman cuff boots.

Bags have plenty of variety this season, this is because
manufacturers have applied a wider range
of textured finishes to the outer materials.
Patent and high gloss shiny finishes are more popular than dull
leather and imprinted finishes such as ostrich and mock croc
continue the love of exotic animal skin textures.
Tartan, cloth and embroidered fabrics all add their own
dimension creating distinctive and statement making bags.
