Three Ultimate SS21 Shoe Trends to Shop at Shouz

We can all agree that the world hasn’t been the same since COVID hit. While not nearly as dramatic as other changes we’ve seen, comfort dressing has emerged as the hero of lockdown life. Even as some cities start to return to a somewhat normal pace, we’re seeing an overall more casual style of dress with an emphasis on comfort, which you’ll notice as the common thread among the footwear trends below. And the best part? You can shop them all right here at Shouz!

Wedge heels 

Wedge sandals have returned to the spotlight thanks to high-end designer labels popularising them in bright, vibrant colours perfect for summer. This early 2000s (or Y2K as it’s known among Gen Z) trend - while it never fully retired from the scene - was reserved for more classically feminine attire. This year the style is back with a bang though and we're excited. A wedge heel will always have a special place in our hearts thanks to its comfort factor - we love being able to wear heels we can spend the whole day in. Our team is partial to the four styles below, which we think you should shop ASAP...

Flatform shoes

Adding a few inches to our height + staying comfortable in the process = big yes from us. Flatforms are the love child of platform heels and flats, giving you an elevated flat shoe with a bit of oomph. Style these with your favourite dresses, skirts, shorts and jeans for a relaxed yet elevated summer look that works just as perfectly when you’re headed to a winery as when you’re chilling with friends on a Sunday afternoon. The Harper's Bazaar team love them and so do we. We're especially loving these new flatforms that have just hit our stores and we're sure will sell out quickly...

Practical earthy sandals

The upcoming spring/summer season has seen a return to basics. In this case we’re referring to trusty sandals that, for years, were relegated to the realm of casual and comfortable as opposed to strictly stylish. But with stars like Chloe Sevigny and Lily Rose Depp (among others) strutting down the sidewalks in ultra-comfortable brands such as Gabor and Josef Seibel, Vogue has touted this as a rising trend this summer. And here are our favourite picks for you to shop with us today...
