Who doesn’t love a great print, one that wakes your feet up in loud or charming hues? And, with each step your feet receiving a pep-talk to parade the streets on an early morning. Whether animal inspired or an enchanting floral, prints have evolved greatly.
Patterned and printed footwear have conquered the territory from tops and bottoms to, now must-have complimentary outfit companions ― and deem themselves of much importance as function. Although, there has been hazy areas in the “function” department recently, leaning toward an elite high-tower instead of a stable home of practicality.
We’ve seen the comeback of the printed sole stylishly pouncing the catwalks in many prior seasons. They are the dazzle in breaking the ice with not your typically generic intro or selling soundbite. Rather, your sole conversing footwear is the new elevator pitch.
Shoes telling the story of good tastes, clever shopping strategies, daring abilities, and perhaps the goings on behind the boundaries of one’s closet. Why not, right? It’s often necessary to interject a busy heel with an ensemble in need of a pick-me-up! What better way to show a slice of your personality than with shoes.
Let’s face it, shoes [often] are the accessory!
Printed soles can brighten a fashion heart. Shoes generally may even alter the tone of your day, especially when being well-received from strangers. We search, stare, maybe compare prices and buy! Then, all it takes is one strut, prance, or glide across a surface to bond us with a specific print or sole of choice. Witnesses are present and whether silently admiring or vociferously detesting the type that we’ve chosen, it exemplifies our style. A reflection in the manner of our dress … if worn on any occasion.
So, what do your footprints look like this season?
I want them all!!

I absolutely agree that shoes are an important accessory. I am so BORING with my shoe selection, pointed toe in red, black, camel, brown, and olive green please. I am definitely going to make it an effort to try newer colours, heights, styles and you've just given me the inspiration I was looking for!

OMG! Snakeskin loafers, I know I'd love them! sound amazing. 🙂
I love wedges, but I understand if you're not. The Oscar de la Renta ones were surprising for me to see, such a lovely print too! 🙂
🙂 I love it all too! especially polka dots & stripes!
I loved those as well. Thanks for your comment. -xx
I love Zara, Asos and Topshop or great, fun shoes, at a good price. When it comes to a splurge, MiuMiu always has my heart. From sparrows, to glitter, and polka dots, I love it all!!
These are all gorgeous shoes. I'm a massive shoe fan. The Oscar De La Renta ones are my favourite.
If only I could wear those!

There really are SO many great prints out there…. I am eyeing a pair of snake skin loafers right now. Also on my radar is something tribal inspired….
I'll take the Topshop beauties!

I won't lie to you – There's a pair of Senso booties I've been dying for for about a year or so now. I just can't spend that much on them!
So many great printed shoe options Madison! I'm rather loving the Rachel Roy ones. I believe a shoe can make any outfit!!
The only printed shoe that I actually have is a leopard print but you've definitely got me wanting more!
