[Franco Sarto “Reba,” $109; Franco Sarto “Jaunt,” $79, both February availability]
Let’s all start spring on the right foot with these great footwear options. With no shortage of style or comfort, your feet are bound to feel renewed with the season.
Franco Sarto
Franco Sarto loves women and we love him in return. For Spring 2012, the wedge is the focus in all of its sexy comfort. Cute glitter espadrilles are sure to ground any outfit, while patent, braid detail, and bow details ensure you’re “on trend but not trendy.” Priced from $69-$120, it’s clear Sarto understands both our passion for shoes and our budget.
[Carlos Santana “Mixer,” $99, March availability]
Carlos by Carlos Santana
If you’re looking for a statement shoe, Carlos by Carlos Santana is your guy. Each design is meant so as to craft your outfit around your shoes. Think Miami Swim Week: bright, Latin-inspired hues! Hip and hot, these shoes give you the impulse to immediately tango, salsa, and cha cha cha. You’ve been forewarned…
[Dr. Scholl’s “Initial,” $40, March availability]
Dr. Scholl’s Shoes
Dr. Scholl’s Shoes has always been a lifestyle brand, but a recent brand revitalization endorses its modernity. Today’s designs represent a youthful spirit while the flexible, lightweight “free step” technology encourages natural motion, and super cushioned “memory fit” insoles reduce shock impact. The original exercise sandal icon, Dr. Scholl’s Shoes now offers an entire line of take-you-anywhere classic styles.
[Naturalizer “Fira,” $69, April availability]
Naturalizer
Naturalizer has one goal: to design shoes that look as good as they feel. Naturalizer continues its focus on breathability, flexibility, lightness, softness, and balance for spring, maintained via styles that will transition you from the office to soccer games to neighborhood soirees. We love cushioning that fits any lifestyle and think you will too!
[Naya “Zoe,” $89, March availability]
Naya
We can always admire a brand that gives back to the earth. This time around at Naya Shoes, the “Zoe” stole the show, being the brand’s first shoe retailing under $100. At $89, this sandal leaves a softer footprint on the earth and your wallet. It’s bold, bright, functional and affordable with soft leather, a whimsical floral footbed design, and natural cork.
