Jimmy Choo ‘Kalan’, 895 euros I’ve never been a big Jimmy Choo fan. I know that’s pretty much sacrilege for a shoe blogger, and don’t get me wrong, I do LIKE the brand, I just don’t really LOVE it. Well, not until now, anyway. These, you see, are the second pair of Jimmy Choos to grace these pages in recent weeks, and although the very high tongue isn’t something I’d normally go for, it certainly makes for an interesting twist on the classic peep toe. Another interesting detail comes in the form of those intricate, laser-cut uppers, which help make that bright blue suede a little more summery than it would have been without it. The high ankle strap, meanwhile, helps balance out the equally high vamp, and while we’re on the subject of height, let me just quickly add that these have a 5″ stiletto heel, with a 1″ platform. If these shoes were a dress, this is the dress they’d be: ASOS Black laser cut neoprene dress, £66 Unfortunately, this dress sold out sometime between my discovery of it and my sitting down to write about it, but it looks so much like the shoes in dress-form that I thought I’d show you it anyway. I’m not, of course, suggesting that you should commit the matchy-matchy crime of wearing the two together (heaven forbid!), but if you DO happen to like it, I found quite a few on eBay. As for what I WOULD wear with these shoes: well, I ...The post Jimmy Choo ‘Kalan’ blue suede platform pumps with perforated detail appeared first on Shoeperwoman.

Australian researchers at the University of Canberra are undertaking a major redesign of ballet slippers. Professor Gordon Waddington and Assistant Professor Jeremy Witchalls are working to give dancers extra "grip" and more control over their movements to prevent lower leg injuries. Dr Waddington has developed an insole made from textured PVC which has a lined pattern to lock into the skin. This is currently being used by ballet dancers for barre work only, in the testing environment. Should it prove to increase surface perception and decrease ankle and lower limb injuries, the insole would be worn during all practice sessions, rehearsals and performances.

As we all know, shoe trends don't really change all that much from spring to summer. I mean, if a color is hot in spring, it's generally going to be popular during the hotter summer months as well. Usually the biggest style and trend shifts are from summer to fall, and winter to spring. Having said that, those same trends that are popular in spring might look very different on summer shoe styles, and then of course, some styles are just more popular in summer (like sandals, or flip-flops), so you do have a few new trends to look forward to each May or June. With those things in mind, I rounded up a few of the hottest summer shoe trends for 2013. If you're looking for the latest, be sure to check them out.
