Key Footwear Trends For 2010

Other than chocolate, shoes are a women''s best friend. Most men think women are a little crazy when it comes to shoes but now men are going a little dolally for them too. The colours, the brand and the style define the individual wearing them.

One style definitely does not fit all. Every man used to wear loafers to work, but now you can add a little more of your own style and personality into your office wear through your shoes. However, the real shoe-fetish for many men comes with trainers.

Whether you want original 1970''s high tops, something new and super ''stylie'' from Japan or Sweden or to design your own, there are shops that have sprung up to cater to all of these whims and desires. Your shoes offer an insight into your personality; where you have been and what you are into and therefore create an image that men want to show off to the outside world.

In 2010, what styles should we be wearing on our two feet? PE-lesson friendly canvas Plimsolls are still firm favourites with lovers of comfortable and stylish shoes. If They are cheap, comfy and light making them perfect for when the warmer weather finally arrives. If you love the relaxed feel then buy some leather versions to see you through the damp days of winter and spring.

No one thought it would happen, but no one predicted the return of short shorts either, but this year if you really want to be fashion forward you will definitely have to lay your hands on a pair of ''deck'' or ''boat'' shoes returned to our shoe shops. Now they are worn in trendy inner city locations miles away from the open seas and sailing ships. Thanks to the mix-match of colours they are perfect for summer days lazing in the park.

But seeing as we are still being battered with rain, ice and snow, you might not want to wear Plimsolls or deck shoes just yet. Until the sun starts shining on a more permanent basis, get yourself some army-style leather boots. They look great with skinny jeans and this season''s must have the checked shirt.

Fix up, look sharp with leather versions of the boat shoe. You will look relaxed but on point, smart casual will have a whole new meaning. A low-cut leather Chelsea boot can be worn in the office or with a pair of jeans depending on the occasion, but works equally well either way.

With any of these trends, you can step into the new season with style. What''s more you don''t have to spend a fortune as many of these items can be worn casually or at more formal occasions.
