Buying Into Chunky Shoes

Spring's shoes are bold. They are possessed with personality and not afraid to make a statement. Sounds just like the modern woman! You can wear this trend one of two ways. Several runways paired these heavy shoes with light, girly clothes, a study in contrasts. Other designers dressed their models in subdued military-inspired looks and topped them off - so to speak - with shoes with presence.
