Dyeable shoes are popular for proms, pageant competitions or any other special occasion that requires your shoes to complement the color of your dress. Along with complimenting your outfit, your shoes need to stay within the latest fashion trends.

Fashions come and go and styles change each year, and this is true for shoes as well. Because of this, suppliers of dyeable shoes need to ensure that their range includes the top styles for that season. What makes a dyeable shoe style popular is depicted by what is currently hot on the runways around the world and what the top designers are producing for their seasonal lines. Designers need to keep up with changing tastes while being coordinated with the latest trends. They may also try to set the trends themselves.

Because dyeable shoes are widely sought after for a host of different functions, they need to be available in the most popular styles, and these styles are easily recognized by their names alone. Names like wedges, pumps, peep toe, ballet slipper, sandals, sling backs and a host of others are all in demand and continue to be in demand and available year round. The top styles for 2009 are quite different from the demure peep toe and traditional pump.

Shoes for a Season

The top styles this year are going to be some old favorites that are making their reappearance while introducing some new designs. This year is going to be about wearing heels.

Trends change with the seasons. What is a top style for summer does not exactly carry over to the winter season. Trends for the summer of 2009 depict that the age-old stiletto may be making its comeback. Stiletto heels were very fashionable in the 80’s and into the 90’s. These shoes elongate the leg in a way no other heel does. The secret is all in the height of the heel. There are changes to the modern form of the stiletto. While the pencil heel still remains, the stiletto has been modified to include a type of hidden platform in the front. Stilettos are already dominating the runways around the world.

Another familiar comeback is the platform. Besides being teamed with a stiletto heel, it may also be coming back as a pure platform heel from front to back and it may be teamed with a block heel.

Surprisingly, at the opposite end of the spectrum, is the comeback of those sandals that are reminiscent of Grecian or Roman times. These are called gladiator sandals they sport heavy straps and the obvious difference is that they have a heel.

Winter on the other hand includes the famous ‘Mary Jane’ shoe but the changes are quite dramatic. While the original ‘Mary Jane’s’ were demure and school girl like, the new version will incorporate more buckles plus a much higher heel and toes which are sharply pointed.

Heels and Toes

The top style in dyeable shoes this year is all about heels, which have made a significant comeback – very high heels to be precise, and these vary from being pencil thin to large block heels. Another high-heeled shoe with a difference is the tapered heeled shoe. The heel starts thick at the top and then tapers down into a curve before getting closer to the ground.

However, there are still those old familiar types of shoe like the wedge heel. This shoe is still one of the top styles available to wear if you need a break from your stiletto heel. Another old favorite is the romantic ballet slippers, which continue to be very fashionable again.

Square-toed dyeable shoes were very popular last year and continue to be so this year, but the obvious square has been softened and now sports a short blunt square nose instead. On the opposite side of the square toe is the pointed toe, which is being considered as one of these years’ top styles, but is now razor sharp instead. This shoe is being teamed with a stiletto heel, making this show one of the top styles this season.

Be different

While high fashion is not for everyone, dyeable shoes need to allow for this while staying with the top styles and trends of the season. Top style for bridal shoes this season is a contrasting heel. Black and white are the most popular, but a pastel shoe teemed with a dark heel is a daring way to celebrate your wedding or perhaps a neutral shoe with a brightly colored heel.

Shiny shoes like patent leather is also considered a top style. You can add a few sparkly crystals or beads and you have a hot favorite for prom nights. There are many styles of dyeable shoes available and you should be able to find the best style for you. This all depends on your favorite style and the type of shoes that you find most comfortable.
