The Return of Flat Shoes in The Fashion Industry is Good News

The fashion industry is one that moves back and forth. In the recent past, modern ladies seemed to associate style and class with high-heeled shoes. Look at any recent picture of a celeb and you will definitely see those adorning classic stilettos whose heels are as high as 6 inches.

Being the conservative kind of person myself, I have always held my breathe whenever a woman struggling with a high-heeled shoes on rough terrain passes near me. Many walk so precariously that you would think they could fall and break their legs anytime and indeed, high-heeled shoe accidents in my part of the world are not uncommon. Moreover, Doctors are usually quick to discourage the wearing of high heeled shoes by pregnant women for reasons that range from avoidance of accidental falls to negative effects on the posture and comfort of the unborn baby.

Current Trend on Flats

The rare comeback of flat footwear in the fashion industry is to me some very good news because it resonates with my conservative appeal for these types of shoes. The trend is catching up so fast that most big names in the world of fashion such as Karl Lagerfeld, Lanvin and Michael Kors are basically gracing the heels of their super models with flat shoes, something that was inconceivable 10 years ago. Many makers of flat shoes have become aggressive in popularizing the flats and magazines especially, are rolling out hot and trendy low heel shoes to complete flats for customers and the demand for the shoes across the world is growing by the day.

The biggest advantage of flat shoes is that whether you are tall, full or thin, flats will still add glamour to your looks, besides, they take care of a woman’s safety. A very tall lady for example will definitely have an exaggerated height if she wears a high-heeled shoe which takes a bit off her confidence.
