This season there are loads of new shoe and boot styles to choose from. So peel of those manky trainers and get something fresh and funky on your plates of meat. Here's a selection of some of the best styles for spring.
Wedge heeled espadrilles with tape measure details, £209 by Olivia Morris.
Olivia Morris is the uncrowned queen of London's cobbling scene. This season she's brought out one of her strongest collections yet, Made To Measure. Her wedge heeled espadrilles are kind of retro (reminiscent of 70s Ryvita adverts). A perfect summer feel for your feet. Stockist info: Available from Olivia Morris, 19 Portobello Green, 281 Portobello Road, London W10. Tel: 020 8962 0353. For other stockists email livmorris@aol.com
Low heeled ankle boots £64.90 by Buffalo Boots.
Forget your knee length, calf length or 3/4 length boots - the epitome of 2002 boot cool is the mini ankle boot. It's so short that it looks like a shoe pretending to be a boot. These Buffalo versions are brilliant - they feature an exaggerated pointy toe that any Teddy Boy would be proud of, and a tweeny weeny heel. And, believe it or not, they are really comfy. Stockist info: Available from Buffalo Boots: 65-67 Neal Street Covent Garden WC2. Tel: 020 7379 1051 190 Camden High Street, Camden NW1. Tel: 020 7424 9014 33 Duke Street, Brighton. Tel: 01273 738866 For other branches and online sales, visit the website.
Pop Art pumps £44.99 by Office.
After so many seasons of crippling stilettoes, the flattie fights back. There are all sorts of pumps on offer this spring and these Pop Art ones from Office combine classic pump action with a bit of art. Pop Art makes a welcome change from the ubiquitous graffiti prints we've seen everywhere from Stephen Sprouse's range for Louis Vuitton, Wale Adeyami (as sported by Craig David and Becks) and even Miss Selfridge. Stockist info: Available from Office Shoes 57 Neal Street, London, WC2. Tel: 020 7379 1896. For other branches visit the website.
Vintage Cowboy boots, from secondhand shops approx £20-£50.
It's time to rethink the cowboy boot. Forget images of American New Country stars and scary people like Shania Twain. In the 21st century Daisy Duke's micro shorts and cowboy boot combo is back with a new sophistication. You don't want shiny, perfect cowboy boots. You want distressed, worn-in and brutally messed-up ones. Go vintage and scour charity shops and jumble sales. Wear them with a denim mini (very Britney) or a tiered, gypsy style skirt.
Pirate Boots £69.99 from Shellys Shoes.
Kate Moss went out in vintage Vivienne Westwood pirate boots last year and six months later Shellys is shifting potloads. Shellys has baggy ones with one buckle (£54.99) and a 5 buckle version in suede (£69.99, pictured) or leather (£89.99). Wear these in honour of punk's Prince Charming, Adam Ant and remember: "ridicule is nothing to be scared of." Stockist info: Available from Shellys shoes, 266-270 Regent Street London W1. Tel: 020 7287 0939. For your nearest stockists call 020 8830 7093.
