From fancy ballerinas aimed at youngsters by Gliders, smart and comfortable acupressure sandals by Tiptop, formal party wear for men by Fortune, neon hot wedges by Senorita, slippers for men and women to beat the monsoon or shoes for children by Footfun, there is a lot happening to pamper your feet.
The 14 series of liberty, launched recently caters to each and every need of footwear that could arise. But the makers tell you that it is the neons that are back in fashion and how! It is not just liberty but other brands are also wooing shades of bright orange, green, red, aqua and many more this season. ‘If you can think of the colour, we can bring it at your feet’ seems to be the mantra that these biggies are going by.
“Just wearing a good dress or a sexy swimwear is not enough. Untill and unless you can pair it with the ideal footwear, your overall personality takes quiet a beating. For people who have less understanding of colour mix and match, it would be a good idea to shop for your footwear first and then compliment it with the dress,” fashion designer Falguni Peacock says.
So, this summer if you are out on a dancing extravaganza, flaunt your style with neon coloured ballerina — if dance is not on your mind, choose the stiletto instead. Shoe designers tell you that ballerinas compliment any kind of outfit and its classy yet elegant design will make you go for it all the time.
The collection by liberty for instance comes with a simple pattern of colour with a small buckle on it and a soothing flowery print on the sole. If you not for flowery soles, pick up some casual ballerinas that many other shoe companies have to offer.
For boys who have a fetish for shoes, this summer the trend is all about combining the casual and the partywear look. “We have designed something that will go with all kinds of ensembles. Try out the chic tan formal shoe with a neon outline at the base brought to you by Fortune. It’s polished leather finish will surely set an impeccable impression at your workplace and at the same time the neon shade will make sure you are a head turner in the party circuit,” Adesh Jain, CEO liberty says.
This summer there is plenty of oomph coupled with comfort as well. Special acupressure sandles for mothers and grandmothers have made it to the list too. “The acupressure technology in footwear is a trend catching up soon. We also have formal wear with inbuilt acupressure technology. It’s a hit with professionals who have to do a lot of leg work. The innovative craftsmanship is what makes this series unique. All footwear under these 14 new categories has undergone strict testing and have been crafted keeping in mind efficient weight and pressure distribution, impact absorption etc,” he concludes.
