Shoe Trend :: Studs

The selection of trends this spring for shoes is like an endless candy buffet! We have gone through the line-up: Nude, Cuffed, Caged and now..Studs! Yes, the studs continue into spring and are making a remarkable impression! With so many trends, there are so many great ways to play up each look and even incorporate multiple trends into a solo shoe!  



What a fabulous combo of all things spring trend! We have cuffed, caged, studs and tribe-vibe! The Nine West Imeila Sandal has it all packed into one hot style!


I always feature a splurge style and this Ash 'Lovely' Wedge is definitely my studded splurge for spring! Suede straps marry well with the leather wrapped wedge and antiqued brass hardware.


No matter what goes on in her social life, her stylish life seems to be boding well! Jessica Simpson's Ninja Wedge Sandals has a slightly stacked wedge with criss-cross detailing and antiqued hardware... the perfect boho chic look!




Michael makes my list again! The Astor sandal is both sporty and casual. The leather and suede combo gives a retro matte and shine look atop a stacked wooden platform. Then, it's deliberately finished with the perfect touch of studs outlining the visible threading.

Marc Fisher's Hooray Peep Toe-Pumps add a fresh approach to the classic black leather peep-toe with a sprinkling of gunmetal studs.


Steve Madden also does a twist to a classic look by adding studs around the platform and on the heel of this Tobbi Pump.



My choice for studded flat: Boutique 9 Glory Sandals. The studded applique is youthful, yet sophisticated and really pops against the sueded background.
