You might find it strange because the weather is so nice and hot, that autumn and winter are just around the corner.  In a few months we will be in the cold weather again.

So now is the time to overhaul your winter wardrobe.  Shops are imminently bringing in the next season’s trends.  Layered clothing is still going to be fashionable as well as a warm way to dress the next season again.

What about footwear?  Have your boots seen better days; if so this year you may consider buying bumper boots.  These are not the cheapest in the market place, but if you want a chic Italian look, they are definitely worth investigating.  If your boots are on their last legs, as it were, then it is time to part with them and try and source a new pair. 

This is easily done by going on the internet.  If you are early you will have the pick of the bunch before stockists run out of the most stylish examples.

The boots being sold by this designer house are all flats.  Flats are a much better option in the wet and snow and flat footwear has been trending this summer and this trend is going to continue throughout the coming autumn and winter months too.

The reason that these boots are dear is that they are all made out of leather with a leather lining.  The soles absorb shock because they are air cushioned and the toe has been reinforced to an orthopaedic standard.

Apart from this there are some really attractive animal prints available as well as plain colours.  These boots are either knee high or mid-calf length.

We are becoming an ever more health conscious society.  This is seen in the food we eat, the more exercise we take and the health warnings about smoking and excessive alcohol intake.  But we do not think twice about how we treat our feet.

A recent study has shown that high heels are really bad for our feet.  Perhaps this is why flat heeled shoes are now so popular.  Over time we will see deformities of our feet.  The Achilles tendon does also get shortened over time, to the point that we cannot even wear flat shoes comfortably anymore. Other ailments are the forming of bunions and hammer toes.  These are all directly related to the shortening of the Achilles tendon.

Shoe manufacturers are not likely to stop producing high heels, but recently we have seen that increasingly the designers are incorporating features within the structure of the footwear that are a healthy option.  This includes as already mentioned above, air cushioning to lessen the impact of footfall when walking and the widening and strengthening the toe cap area to allow the toes room to wiggle about.  Some of them do also have an instep support which will let us wear our shoes with comfort throughout the day.
