Women’s Frye Sandals and Shoes - Spring and Summer 2011

While looking over what types of footwear are being offered to women this spring and summer from Frye, I was taken aback by styles that are “over the top” in terms of their eye-catching looks – as well as the variety of different styles to choose from.

New wedge sandal styles: There are a number of wedge sandals from Frye this year that struck my fancy, including the Corrina Stitch, Braylin Artisanal, Braylin Braided, Corrina Woven and the Carlie Huarache. While these sandals correspond with the current movement toward wedge styles, they also manage to break ground for unique looks – these are shoes that would enhance any woman’s appearance and add more than a touch of femininity, yet they also manage to convey an earthy and natural visual appeal.

New flat sandal styles: The flat sandals this year from Frye are my favorites from the collection. While each of the different sandals has its own look or mood, the ones that I predict women will be clamoring for this year include the Amelie X Strap and the Amelie 2 Piece. Again, while these sandals rise to the challenge of current fashion trends with their Roman style, they have looks like no other sandals I have seen – stunning.

New ballet flat styles: The ballet flats available this year struck me as having a soft, romantic appeal. Each of the new styles has a design to set off the natural curves of a woman’s foot and leg, adding “just the right touch” of femininity to any lady who wears them. These picks from the Frye collection are also quite versatile – they could be worn with practically anything in a wardrobe, adding so much to a woman’s appearance. Collections to check out: Frye Carson ballet flats and the new Frye Emma ballet styles.

As a writer in women’s fashion for the past few years, “Frye” has always been one of my favorite subjects – the obvious care in craftsmanship and a unique talent to create trends (rather than follow them), makes this company not only a “go-to” brand for classic styles, but also a maker of contemporary, fashion-forward looks that any woman would be proud to wear. New Frye shoes and sandals for spring and summer of 2011 are no exception.
