How to Fix the Zipper on Zip Up Boots
Ever have that favorite pair of boots start to fall apart just a little bit? We all have that moment where we accidentally catch the zipper on zip up boots on an extra piece of material, pull it and lose the zipper all together. All you have to do to fix it, is see where the problem is.
If it’s simple as a lost pull tab, that can be replaced with ease. Sometimes if the slider gets pulled...

With Stylish Heels, Inserts Are Your Best Friend
Ladies, we’ve all been there. We’ve put on the pair of cute, stylish heels before breaking them in. Or buy a pair that doesn’t seem to have the kind of cushioning we need. All of our feet are different and what one person can handle, doesn’t mean another can. That’s why padding and inserts are your best friend. Seriously!
I experienced this myself just the other...

Spring Around the Corner Means Nautical Styles!
The trend popped up last year and it’s going to be back with a vengeance this spring and summer. Nautical styles are going to be popping up in stores again and I love anything with some great stripes, little anchors, and the kind of feeling like you are ready to just sail away off to somewhere warm and exciting!
Wanted Shoes has some new nautical flats for the spring. The Ahoy flat comes...

Blue Is the Hot Color of the Red Carpet
Everywhere you look, celebrities are wearing a lot of blue. Not just touches of it, but royal blue dresses, gorgeous blue pumps, and bright, bold blue accessories. Blue is one of those colors everyone can pull it off. It works for all kinds of complexions and is just so exciting, yet not quite as loud as some other colors.
If you want that royal blue look for your fashionable footwear,...

Comfortable Ballet Flats Work In a Pinch
I’ll be the first to admit that I sometimes wear shoes that aren’t so comfortable for way too long. Stylish heels sometimes don’t hold up for the whole night like we’d hope. Case and point? New Year’s Eve. I was definitely going to be hurting if I walked to the train in my heels. That’s why comfortable ballet flats were part of my outfit before I even got there....

I don’t know about where you are, but here in New York City, it’s getting cold! It is December, after all, and winter is sneaking up fast.

You Can Click Ruby Slippers Together... For 2...
This December, a pair of ruby slippers believed to be worn by Judy Garland for filming of the Wizard of Oz are going up for auction. They are one of four pairs created for the movie. The other three are in various places. One is in the Smithsonian, another is owned by a private collector, and a third was stolen from the Judy Garland museum in Minnesota (yikes!). These shoes are expected to go for...
Color-Block Shoes are Hot This Winter
All over the runways there’s been color-block shoes, both into the winter and for next spring. It’s a great way to accessorize and makes choosing the right shoes easier. Why? Because when you have more than one color on your shoes, you can then match them up with far more different clothes.
Some of the color-block shoes on the runways are super bold and bright, but Wanted Shoes has...

We all have that awesome pair of trendy boots we love. I have a pair from last year that now are starting to slowly fall apart because of worn soles. But there’s really no need to part with your favorite pair. You can get the resoled and keep on wearing them, which is about as green as you can get. Instead of throwing out shoes and having them fill landfills, you can instead keep using them....

How the Right Affordable Shoes Can Make You Look...
You might not think it, but the right pair of affordable shoes can actually make you look slimmer. Just as a dress that’s tapered in all the right places can give you an hour glass figure, the right shoes can make you look leaner.
So what shoes will do the trick? Anything with a thin heel and a hidden platform with make your legs look longer and give you extra height. Three inch heels are usually...

What do you do with all your excess packaging except throw it out, or put it in a recycling bin if need be? But someone is taking those materials making shoes. Yup! Wearable shoes! I can’t say for sure if they are comfortable but they can definitely be worn.

Get Pippa Middleton's Shoe Style for Less
Recently Pippa Middleton was spotted out and about with the cutest gold flats! They really complemented her leopard print top and camel bag she was accessorizing with.
It just really pulls the whole outfit together without going overboard (like matching the leopard top with leopard shoes!).
Pippa definitely has the cash to spend hundreds on just one pair of comfortable ballet flats, but most...

A More Affordable Alternative to the Frye Harlow...
I’m really digging the heeled oxford look. We’ve talked about how oxfords are still going strong in general. And one style that’s really cute is the Frye Harlow Oxford Bootie.
It’s got a nice lace up detail, stacked heel, and would be so cute for work and with a great dress on weekends. But it’s price is well over $100 and not every fashionista wants to spend that much.
But at Wanted Shoes,...

How to Wear The Socks and Heels Trend
How to Wear The Socks and Heels Trend
Ok, some people love it, and some hate it. There’s a whole group of people who think socks should never be worn with heels, ever. Tights and stockings yes, but never socks. I’m on the side of “Yay socks!”, if they are worn right. It’s also a little bit more covering on your toes when those fall nights really hit.
Now, the trend isn’t exactly new for this...

They are durable, look great with just about any outfit, and are definitely going to keep you a...

How to Wear Animal Print Shoes and Look Fab
If there’s one trend that rarely ever disappears, it’s animal print. What changes is where your wearing it. Every year it seems to be different; the animal print dress, then handbag, and this fall?

They are also incredibly comfortable.
This fall, we’ll continue to see a lot more oxfords paired with...

When you think of boots, you often think they are a typical fall/winter style. But with the right boots styles, you can pull them off this summer. It’s all about choosing the right look as well as material. We don’t recommend wearing those hot, fur lined boots unless you are a very brave soul. But there are other choices that will look super cute.
Ankle boots are a perfect choice for the...
