What to Wear Now: The Best Shoes for Spring 2012

Here are some of our favorite shoes from the Spring/Summer 2012 runway shows.  Shoes with an abundance of character and personality for anyone who loves shoes. For those who want to make a statement this season, look no further, these unique designs will be noticed a mile away.

Haider Ackerman’s Spring 2012 tapered-toe oxford is folded down into a slipper in a gold paisley print set against a royal blue background. The ornamental brocade adds a luxe dimension.

How can I describe my relationship with Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring 2012 collection? Completely obsessed! This masquerade of Japanese tattoo-inspired design in cerulean blue against a nude (skin tone) background give these heel-less shoes an dramatic twist.

Prada turned up the heat with hot rod heels, adding flare to her 50’s inspired designs for Spring 2012. A sling-back heel with flamed wings and vintage taillights make these outrageous stilettos a Miuccia classic.

Louis Vuitton reinvented the iconic pointed-toe mule with a contemporary slant, adding a silver capped toe to powdery blue leather. To the right, the multi-strap with navy blue stripes give these shoes a subtle complexity.

Balenciaga’ python snakeskin booties with their spike-winged detail, add an urban edge to any look this season. Wear these shoes with shorts to give your outfit the wow factor at any summer soiree.

There’s something undeniably alluring about Yves Saint Laurent’s candy pink pumps. These stunning shoes with a bolted gold shield plate add a touch of lady-like sophistication to a Spring/Summer wardrobe.

Alexander McQueen’s mesmerizing coral sandals deserve a runway of their own. I adore the gladiator style glamour and curvy heel, not to mention the exquisite coral beading that resembles an underwater reef.

Prabal Gurung’s corset stilettos with multiple straps have a hint of dominatrix while the mesh façade gives them an athletic appeal.

Marc Jacobs gave a fresh kick to his Spring 2012 runway with lace-up wedge sneakers. Casual sportswear color blocking and hidden heels make this shoe ingenious and fun.

Donatella’s sky-high lucite platform sandals with gold studs are the perfect accompaniment to her underwater inspired theme for spring/summer. Donatella says these siren shoes, “are comfortable because they are wedges.”
