Shifts in Buying Strategy:
“With the shift in the economy and people’s expectations, it’s important to add variety in my designer mix. As a boutique, I have to offer more without sacrificing my high-end vision. I have also been harder on my best-selling designers, like Givenchy, in terms of quality for the price. Many high-end designers are making [lower-quality] shoes and for [the same] high prices. So customers will tend to go for the contemporary designers for a cheaper price point but to still get a dramatic, runway-style shoe.” (source)

• Heights are either high or flat, with not many choices in between

“Must-Carry” Styles:
• Givenchy patent leather lace-up bootie
• Thigh-high Louboutins
• All the footwear choices at Lanvin

Buying Strategy: “Footwear prices seemed expensive to me again for fall. It’s becoming more and more challenging for brands to find ways to keep their quality and their craftsmanship while maintaining retail [prices] that make sense to the consumer. There is some real opportunity out there for the brands that can figure that out.”

Sexy Excotic Laced Up Boot For 2011



Laced-up boots . Laces are getting very popular. So, laced-up boots trend comes as no surprise to us in Fall/ Winter 2010/ 2011. Such footwear is very comfy and looks great, but taking it off can be a problem.
Shoes with buckles. ‘The more buckles the better’ sounds the slogan for Fall/ Winter 2010/ 2011 season. Buckles look interesting and provide great support and fixation for the foot. However, they bring the same problem as laces – it takes time to pull them off.
Stiletto shoes . Stilettos aren’t always easy to sport but the fact they look gorgeous is undeniable. That is why if you feel you can walk on super tiny heels this shoe trend is everything you might want.Both shoes and boots can come with spike heels. They look feminine and totally stylish.
Wedges . The popularity of wedges has already faded but their practicality still makes designers pay attention to such kind of shoes. If you are a fan of this shoe trend , go ahead and purchase one more pair of pretty wedges .
Thigh-high boots. Thigh-high boots were a hugefootwear trend last season. We have seen celebrities and ordinary girls wearing these everywhere. And luckily such boots are going to be still hot for Fall/ Winter 2010/ 2011, too.
High heel + High platform. This shoe trend isn’t for girls who love looking womanly. But it does look chic and intriguing.

AK Anne Klein Women's Grenti Knee-High Boot

Polished perfection has never been so easy to come by--nor so comfortable. Crafted of smooth, luxurious leather and rising to just below your knee, the beautiful boot will have you counting down the days to plaid, wool, cashmere, and corduroy. We adore its squared toe and slenderizing ankle band, and you'll revel in the slip-on convenience of its full-length side zipper.

I looked for months for a pair of quality leather brown boots with a low heel that would be suitable for work that were also a reasonable price. I purchased these on Amazon during a pre-Christmas boot sale and was able to get them for 60% off!

The leather is extremely soft and the boot is comfortable the moment you put them on - no 'breaking in' required. My one qualm with the boot is that the section where the shoe meets the shaft is somewhat uncomfortable and has a tendency to rub on the ankle if I just wear hosiery. However, I just wear a pair of socks and it is not a problem.

I also like the fact that the boot is tight on my calf. A lot of boots I tried had 'extended calf' even if they weren't labeled as such. However for those who might need a little extra room it does have a small bit of elastic in a discrete area on the side that makes it that much more comfortable.

Overall, I highly recommend these boots - especially if you can get them on sale!
