With the holiday season well underway and sales galore, now is a great time to shop for a pair of shoes either for a gift or a holiday party. Not sure what heels are trendy for the season? Here’s a little help.

Wedges

Wedges were “it” during Spring/Summer 2011 and they have carried over into this season as one of the heel types to wear. Wedges are super comfortable and for many easier to walk in than a standard heel. Some of the latest styles can be found at Macy’s, Urban Outfitters, and Nordstrom.

If you haven’t quite mastered walking in heels consider a wedge with a heel height of 2” or less. Macy’s has a great selection of lower wedges. The Rocket Dog “Tonic” wedge is simple yet stylish and is less than $50.

For medium heel height check out the Chelsea Crew “Stella” bootie. This 3” wedge bootie has a lug sole that provides great traction with style. Available at Urban Outfitters for $69, in black or beige.

For the expert or daredevil is the Jeffery Campbell “Zip-2” wedge bootie, 6” with a 2” platform. Available at Nordstrom for $189.95.

Chunky Heels and Platforms

Chunky heels and platforms are also comfortable and trendy this season. One of the more popular chunky heel shoes is the Jeffery Campbell “Lita” Bootie. The “Lita” comes in an extremely wide variety of colors, patterns, fabrics and textures and range in price from $129.95 to $194.95.

The best place to shop for the “Lita” would be Solestruck.com. This site offers about sixty different options and the price for each is just $159.95 with free 24hr shipping Monday-Friday. Solestruck.com also has the “Lita” in fur for $194.95.

If you don’t find your size there is an option for an email alert when your size becomes available.
