3- TRENDY – Fun colored wedges: shorts, maxi dresses, short dresses…the possibilities are limitless
4- SEXY – Black high heel boots with a spring twist: do I even need to give examples of what you can wear such boots with? Black high heel boots are the epitome of must have shoes.
5- WILD – Bright colored f**k-me stilettos: to be saved for a night out when you want to leave your mark on everyone you meet.

Go Hiking in Stilettos….Seriously
Sandal manufacturer Teva has teamed up with Grey Ant clothing company to make one of this year’s most brilliant, yet bizarre fashion finds….a 4-inch stacked stiletto so comfortable it can be worn in the great outdoors. The website the shoes can be bought on boasts that the pumps are the “most comfortable, performance high heel(s) on the planet,” while showcasing pictures of women wearing the shoes while hiking, climbing and performing various outdoor activities. Yet, at the very bottom of the product description it reads: “Not recommended for actual hiking, gardening, mountain climbing, or Phish concerts.” So, I suppose the pictures are just a marketing ploy to garner interest, but the pumps may still be a viable option if you are looking for comfortable heels that apparently feel like sneakers. The stilettos, which are best paired with socks, are available in Natural and Black and cost $330.
