As I am sure, most of you have noticed by now, peep toe shoes are the new in-thing. Peep toe shoes first made their appearance in the late seventies .While I have past fashion eras in mind, peep toe shoes are a perfect example of shoe art. We should all take it as a blessing when a classic style makes its way back into the fashion game.

As I am sure, most of you have noticed by now, peep toe shoes are the new in-thing. Peep toe shoes first made their appearance in the late seventies .While I have past fashion eras in mind, peep toe shoes are a perfect example of shoe art.

We should all take it as a blessing when a classic style makes its way back into the fashion game. It is time to re-evaluate your shoe collection and ask yourself; do I have a pair of graceful, elegant peep toes?

If the answer is no, it’s about time you bought a pair and discover for yourself the power of a peep toe. What’s more, you can wear them with just about anything and deliver womanly confidence.

They come in a wide array of colour and texture. Unlike in the past days, peep-toe shoes can be found in just about every fabric you can think of. Shoes are and will always be the perfect accessory to complement an outfit.

Shoes like these are a great alternative to basic black pumps, and if you have a nice pedicure, make a great addition to your footwear wardrobe.

When choosing a pair of peep toes, look for a heel height that you’re comfortable walking in, and be sure that the toe opening fits your foot comfortably. Walking in a pair of ill-fitting peep-toes is excruciatingly painful.

So make sure you get the right size. With peep toes you have to go a size higher to get a perfect fit. Remember to choose a colour that you are comfortable with. Do not lose yourself in the colour daze around you.

Decide on the style that you like. Some styles barely show the top of the big toe while others reveal two or three toes. If you prefer to wear closed-toe shoes, you might feel more comfortable with a peep that doesn’t show much.

Cautiously decide on any ornate detail on the shoe. Does it have a bow or a chain? Ask yourself if you’d rather have a plain peep toe or a pair with detail. Consider where you’ll wear the shoe. Peep-toes are an easily transferable style from the office to dinner, as long as you choose the right type.

If you can’t quite bring yourself to sacrifice rent for a pair of peep toes, fear not, the bargain is always different depending on the material and type of shoe.
