Wedding fashion is fickle. What shoes should be chosen by brides who are going to get married in 2014? Divine Coco Chanel said: "Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury." When choosing shoes for a wedding, girls should take the advice of the most stylish woman of the 20th century. In our review of wedding shoes 2014, you will find not only modern, but also comfortable models in which the bride will look great and feel comfortable.
Shoe for Cinderella
In 2014, bridal shoes are revisiting classic features with pointy toes and high heels. Graceful pumps in white or cream color will perfectly complement a wedding dress of almost any style.
Pointy noses are just one of the trends. Among others fashion trends 2014, a special place is occupied by light open wedge shoes. It is not only stylish, but also comfortable: in such shoes the bride will not get tired even in the evening and will be able to easily and beautifully dance along with her beloved wedding dance.
Bright shoes with rhinestones, bows and other bright decor will not go well with an elegant, richly decorated dress: it will look tasteless. But shoes decorated with elegant but discreet lace will perfectly complement the image of the bride. Lace is in fashion now, especially at a wedding: you can combine lace shoes with brighter and more intricate jewelry if the choice of dress and accessories allows it.
Girls with large feet are ideal for shoes with heels with a blunt or rounded toe. In such shoes, the leg will seem elegant and miniature. In addition, these shoes are quite comfortable, despite the high heel.
Lush wedding dresses with corsets are gradually going out of fashion: the “peasant” style is gaining popularity: on the head there are wreaths of real or artificial flowers instead of a veil, long or semi-long, light and elegant dresses in their simplicity. Comfortable and stylish ballet flats are perfect for this look.
Looking at the photos of wedding shoes in 2014, taken at fashion shows, you can see another trend: the attention of designers to bright colors and accents. We are used to the fact that the traditional wedding color is white. In extreme cases, cream or champagne color. However, nothing prevents adding new colors to the classic image of the bride. It will look stylish and original if you choose the right accessories. The dress can be white, and the handbag, shoes and jewelry can be red, yellow or any other bright and cheerful colors.
Brides should also pay attention to wedding shoes, which were created by shoemakers inspired by Greek sandals. Open shoes with ankle straps will look very stylish and will suit both short and long dresses.
The choice of shoes for a wedding depends, among other things, on the season. There is nothing more ridiculous than a bride standing in the snow in light summer shoes. Designers have long taken care of everything: the market has huge selection magnificent winter boots or autumn ankle boots, ideally complementing the magnificence of a wedding dress.
Moreover, simplicity and naturalness are now in fashion. So for a winter photo shoot, for example, real felt boots decorated with elegant embroidery are perfect. Guests will appreciate the bride's good sense of humor. And warm and beautiful winter boots useful even after the wedding.
Crown for Cinderella
Accessories, such as bridal jewelry, as well as wreaths, veils and other hair ornaments, should also match the bride's outfit and shoes. They should match both in color and style. If you want a veil and a diadem to decorate your head, then light ballet flats will not fit this look. You will need to choose wedding shoes with high heels or wedges, openwork or plain leather. Sequins and beads on wedding shoes in this case will be redundant - only the crown on the bride's head should shine.
The choice of diadems and tiaras for a wedding is now very wide. Dream of looking like a real princess - will be fulfilled! On sale there are even exact copies of the diadem that crowned the head of the bride of Prince William Kate Middleton: the whole world watched the marriage of this couple with bated breath.
1. If financial possibilities allow, it is better to buy two pairs of shoes. Some in high heels for a photo shoot and others for the evening - ballet flats, or shoes with lower heels or wedges. The same applies to a winter or autumn wedding. For a photo shoot in nature, high-heeled ankle boots are suitable, for a wedding party in a restaurant - classic low-heeled evening shoes.
2. Don't forget about your future husband. If the groom is not too tall, don't buy high-heeled shoes: it will ruin all the wedding photos.
3. Shoes must be selected after purchase wedding dress. It is important, firstly, that the height of the heel is in harmony with long dress. Secondly, the material and style of the dress determine the choice of shoes. For example, for a dress richly decorated with lace, ribbons, sequins or beads, classic plain pumps are suitable. And vice versa: if the texture of the dress is quite simple, you can focus on bright shoes and wedding jewelry.
4. The main thing when choosing shoes is to choose the right size. You need to understand that you will have to spend on your feet almost all day. Shoes for a wedding, like the rest, are best tried on in the evening. By this time, even princesses' legs usually swell. If you buy shoes for the “morning foot”, then on the evening of your wedding day you may regret it.

5. The choice of the shape of shoes for a wedding depends on the size of the foot. Rounded toe shoes visually make the foot smaller and more elegant. And vice versa: only brides with a small foot can afford a pointed toe.
Fashionable shoes in the autumn-winter 2013 season are varied enough to attract women with different tastes. High-heeled shoes are still at the peak, however, in addition to the almost classic stilettos, designers offer to pay attention to a stable thick heel. Also, the fall-winter 2013 season brings back the fashion for low-heeled shoes, along with the growing popularity of men's clothing style. On the catwalk of the autumn-winter 2013-2014 season, the theme of unisex elegance was played up and, along with it, shoes with wide, even square heels.
The fashion for rich decor, bright colors and unexpected textures is a thing of the past. Architectural excesses and bold design solutions are also gradually fading away, remaining only in collections focused on shocking.
high heel shoes 2013
In the past few seasons, the concept of “high heel” has outgrown all the boundaries of reason: 10-15 centimeters for designers is something very average, so various tricks are used to raise the female foot higher above the ground. Shoes are becoming more and more like both a tightrope walker and an instrument of torture. However, nothing paints a modern girl so much as fragility and some uncertainty. And this, yes with such heels, will be enough.
The vast majority of shoes presented at the fashion show for the autumn-winter season 2013-2014 have high heels.
Quite traditionally, a hairpin dominates the podium. However, in the fall-winter 2013-2014 season, more and more often, the hairpin takes on a somewhat strange shape, once tested by Alexander McQueen, - bent inward, as, for example, at Proenza Schouler or Givenchy.
Expensive exotic leather is still popular for high-heeled shoes - snake, crocodile, ostrich, stingray, etc. Such luxurious delights were presented by many houses: American Narciso Rodriguez, chic in every sense Roberto Cavalli and even an apologist for minimalism in the service of Dior, designer Raf Simons.
In terms of color schemes, the autumn-winter season 2013-2014 also did not bring anything new or stunningly bright: choose black, you can't go wrong. Beige, brown, light gray and red-burgundy also have the right to life - Lanvin, Nina Ricci and many others simply cannot be wrong.
Some of the most daring, apparently - Roland Mouret, Chloe, Narciso Rodriguez - played with the combination of shades, exquisitely composing a "patchwork" of leather of different, but surprisingly matching colors.
Balenciaga and Mary Katrantzou paid attention to cutouts, but they did it in different ways: Mary Katrantzou created truly autumn shoes, lightening them with deep oval cutouts from the bone, and Alexander Wang in his debut collection for Balenciaga almost completely exposed his leg, creating such way, perhaps the most erotic shoes of the season.
However, for his signature line Alexander Wang, Wang also showed surprisingly memorable high-heeled shoes.
Fashion shoes fall-winter 2013-2014 - "low" heel
An amazing trend of the autumn-winter season 2013-2014 is the heel, which begins to “grow” not from the heel, but from the middle of the foot. The shoes turn out to be unusual, and, as for a look that is not yet accustomed, rather clumsy.
Although, perhaps, the innovation will seem elegant to someone, because from a certain angle, such high-heeled shoes create the effect of “toe-walking”.
Naturally, such a heel, reminiscent of medieval shoes, cannot be either particularly high or thin: at Dior it resembles a somewhat stylized wedge heel, and at Rochas it looks like a low stiletto heel that has slid down.
Thick heeled shoes
Very often in real life speculative spectacle has to be sacrificed in favor of reasonable comfort. It seems that at least some designers understand this, who, albeit occasionally, still release relatively comfortable shoes with thick heels - resistant and tolerant of any weather. Giorgio Armani, Bottega Veneta, Altuzarra, Dolce & Gabbana and many others presented models of elegant autumn shoes with thick, stable heels.
Christopher Kane - one of the few designers, by the way - decorated shoes with thick heels with feathers, mesh and faux fur.
Claire Waight Keller, in her fourth Chloe home collection, presented autumn shoes that are ideal in their academic perfection.
Jil Sander outdid many, turning a high thick heel into a brutal square one. The interesting thing is that shoes, even with such expressive heels, still look stylish.
Shoes with low heels 2013-2014 - autumn-winter
A small heel definitely has a right to exist. Firstly, it is worth remembering the girls whom nature not only did not offend with their height, but downright rewarded: on chic 15-centimeter stiletto heels, they will rise half their heads above the crowd. Secondly, high and very high heels are not always appropriate.
Recently, the concept of elementary etiquette has shifted somewhat, especially in the minds of glamorous high school girls, but a heel above seven or eight centimeters is still considered the norm only for an evening out.
Some designers remembered the kitten heel, which had almost returned to fashion - heels of medium or small height, about three to five centimeters: Anna Sui, Dolce & Gabbana, Proenza Schouler.
Shoes with low strong heels, touching with their utility, were shown by the Viktor & Rolf duo, who completely forgot about avant-garde in the autumn-winter 2013-2014 season.
Every fashion season brings its surprises to fashion fans. Among the pleasant surprises of the spring-summer 2014 season - a large number of original and classic, daring and romantic, bright and delicate boats, sandals, light and open shoes for spring, summer, autumn. Today - bright high-heeled shoes of 2014: children's motifs in the Christian Louboutin summer collection, the process of creating iconic Britton Kurt Geiger shoes, 6 of the most current pairs of Manolo Blahnik high-heeled shoes and much more ...

Pigalle shoes
For many seasons it is difficult to imagine shoes from this brand without spikes. But spikes are different for spikes, and each new Christian Louboutin shoes is radically different from the previous ones. This time, in the summer collection of shoes, designers have combined seemingly incompatible brutal and daring spikes and cheerful, colorful, almost childish colors. So the once completely metal decorations of shoes from this brand have completely lost all their aggression this season.
Now white skin High Quality decorated not with spikes in the best traditions of rock musicians, but with plastic rivets in colors worthy of children's designers and other toys. But everything for which we love this brand so passionately remained in place in 2014. This is a bright red sole, and smooth lines, and recognizable, always trendy forms.
To match similar delicate shoes and bright accessories:
2. Legendary shoes from Britton Kurt Geiger
The well-known model of Britton pumps from the cult British brand Kurt Geiger is a shoe that is impossible to pass by. Every season, every year, textures, colors, materials change, only incredibly feminine and graceful forms and a thin metal heel remain unchanged.
It is noteworthy that these classic pumps are made in Florence, a city that has long been famous for its professional craftsmen and the best shoe factories.

All this is generously flavored with the intricacies of shoemaking, Florentine landscapes, stories of masters about this difficult task. A must see for anyone who loves fashion!

3. Timeless elegance in the Manolo Blahnik SS14 collection
This elegant and feminine spring-summer 2014 collection takes us back to the era of the first third of the 20th century. Luxurious fabrics, rich ornaments, bold color combinations and an abundance of decorative elements amaze the imagination. All this is a new collection of shoes from Manolo Blahnik, a dream come true for many girls.
The inspiration for such high-heeled beauty was the paintings of the famous Italian painter Giovanni Boldini. In addition, the sentiments of Spain, its culture and art, which have become classic for the brand, play an important role here. All this is reflected in tassels, fringe, intricate embroidery.
Below is one of the brightest models of the new collection. Blue satin shoes, which gained their popularity thanks to the series "Sex in big city". It was in these that Keri Bradshaw married the Man of Her Dreams.
High-heeled shoes with fringe in 2014 are becoming popular again. These brown, slightly cowboy-inspired high-heeled sandals are proof. By the way, one more effective method to embody this trend in your image - choose any accessory with tassels and fringe.
Fans of retro, disco and roaring 90s will certainly appreciate another model from the new collection: bright, neon pumps that can become the main accent of any outfit.
It is easy to add elegance and grace to even the simplest outfit with the help of such classic pumps with translucent lace inserts.

4. Actual shoe novelties 2014
If everything is more or less clear with pumps, then there are other styles of shoes with heels that occupied the catwalks of the spring-summer season. These are two, well-known to many, styles that are just asking to replenish your spring wardrobe.
1. Clogs with heels
Such shoes with high stable heels have become a universal trendy model that equally harmoniously fits into the minimalist, classic and ethnic collections of this season. Do not be afraid of eclecticism in the spring-summer 2014 season! There really is plenty to choose from: feather clogs from the Rochas collection, geometric heels from Celine, Stella McCartney or Kenzo, futuristic motifs from Iceberg ... Clogs with comfortable heels are a valuable acquisition for hot weather and long walks.
2. Sandals with thin straps
An elegant and feminine solution for spring 2014 is graceful sandals with thin straps: dense and graphic like in Fendi and Christian Dior, soft and thin, like in the collections of DSquared2, Christopher Kane or Roberto Cavalli. All this with a comfortable heel and only from the best materials! A good choice for parties, bars and dates.
Heeled shoes are a very important detail of the image of a real woman. They visually lengthen the legs, and also make the shape of the female leg more attractive to men. The phrase "beauty requires sacrifice" should not refer to high-quality shoes, they are designed not only to decorate, but also to be comfortable, not to leave scuffs and calluses. Therefore, it is very important to choose shoes not only for appearance, but also according to the “well-being” of your foot.
If we compare fashion trends with last year, then 2014 is characterized by shoes with brighter colors and higher heels. Next, we will conditionally divide them into separate types depending on the length of the heels and try to convey to you the main fashion trends of 2014:
- Fashion high heel shoes 2014. The hit of the season is a very high heel with catchy, as well as a combination of several bright colors. Details such as rhinestones, bows and fasteners are very relevant. At the peak of popularity, lace high-heeled shoes. If you put them on, you will not escape the admiring glances of men. The adorable hairpin does not go out of fashion. This season, designers have shown their imagination to the full: the hairpin can be outlandishly curved or in the form of a snake.
- Shoes with square heels 2014. Today, rectangular and trapezoidal heels are in fashion again, and especially from patent crocodile leather. This is a universal choice, such a model is perfect for both evening dress as well as a business suit.
- Shoes with low heels 2014. Lovers of low-heeled shoes are also not deprived of attention, because in the 2014 season, low-heeled shoes are also relevant. Namely, pointed pumps with colorful prints, as well as models of solid colors and bright colors. Nobody canceled shoes on the platform either - wedges are in fashion as never before.
- Shoes with medium heels 2014. Undeservedly forgotten in the past two seasons, mid-height shoes are back on the scene! The trend of the 2014 season is feminine pumps with glass heels. In combination with a dress or skirt just below the knee, this model especially emphasizes the beauty of women's legs.
So, as you can see, almost any heel height is relevant this summer. Therefore, you should not make a choice in favor of only one pair of shoes, add more variety to your wardrobe.

How to walk in high heels?
The most important thing is to walk straight, and not in an inclined position. Proper walking means walking in such a way that your ear should be in a straight line with your shoulder, hip, ankle and knee.
Professional models are trained to wear high heels and are made to pretend they are walking a tightrope over a precipice. And tightrope walkers only look forward and never down. The tightrope walkers keep their back straight, they step onto the rope immediately with the middle of the foot. You must learn to walk in high heels like this - gait from the hip on straight legs, head held high, back straight.
Start stepping not from the heel, but lean on the entire foot at once. And most importantly, never forget - the legs should be set easily and freely.
Always maintain a straight posture.
To walk properly in heels:
- pull your chin up, straighten your head
- straighten up, stand up
- draw in your chest, but do not lean back, do not forget to relax your shoulders
- straighten so that there are no wrinkles, the back of the neck
- pull in your belly as far as possible
- pull up your knees
In no case should you transfer the weight of your body forward. Indeed, at the same time, your kneecaps and toes are strained - you will immediately get tired. It is this wrong posture that makes you get tired very quickly with high-heeled shoes. To avoid undue pressure on your toes, try to lift only thumb, while all other fingers, on the contrary, should be lowered. If you can complete this, victory is just around the corner. After all, it is this position that will help you keep your back strictly upright. At first it will be somewhat unusual, but you have to force (accustom, adapt ...) yourself to this position of the toes, as well as the body. Only in this way you will be able to gracefully, naturally walk in heels.

But sometimes you need to give up "high shoes" (so that your legs have a little rest). The figure below shows that when we walk on a flat sole, the weight of our body is evenly distributed along the entire length of the foot, there are no overloads on its individual parts. But when we are on high shoes, our toes, as well as the toe, are overloaded.
With a seemingly insignificant heel height, only 2-3 centimeters, the load increases enormously, for example, on the toe, it increases by 22%. With high heels that are fashionable today, reaching 6-7 centimeters, the toe can withstand a double load!
