Shoeflyer | Shoes, Trends & Reviews

The Fourth of July spawns more eye-crossing, headache-inducing fashion faux pas than any other jubilee, if you ask me.  Sure, certain people don matching symbols for every holiday.  Christmas-time brings reindeer monstrosities, the return to school signals the return of pencils and crayons as decorative motifs, and don’t even get me started on Halloween. But when the carefree summer attitude combines with our especially busy flag design, disaster strikes for many would-be Independence Day divas. Remember:  everyone else knows it’s the Fourth of July. Your shirt does not have to remind them of that fact.  Still, I appreciate wanting to be in the holiday moment– I used to be an elementary school teacher, after all.  And so, I bring you a few tips for making sure your Fourth of July outfit isn’t a dud.

Have you noticed the a pattern lately?  Shoeflyer has been featuring shoes by Gentle Souls, one of Kenneth Cole’s brands.  Gentle Souls shoes are designed for maximum comfort.  Four layers of specially designed materials in each Gentle Souls sole add up to walking-on-air comfort.   The outer layer is deerskin lining, which envelops your foot in breathable, soft comfort.  Below the deerskin is a layer of flaxseed pillows, which act like miniature beanbags to cradle your foot with each step.  Beneath the flaxseed pillows is a layer of memory-foam originally developed by NASA.  Finally, cork acts as the bedrock of Gentle Souls shoes, absorbing the force of walking on hard surfaces.

During NY Fashion Week, the New York Times offered a mesmerizing series of blogs showing models transitioning from one ensemble to the next. The Gray Lady’s photographers captured each model before she strutted onto the catwalk.  This method drives home how each model could sport a dozen different designs over the course of Fashion Week. Before reading these posts, I didn’t fully appreciate just how harried and fast-paced such events can be.  I’m addicted to watching each model transition from casual to evening to adventurous, all with a smile.

Holy boots! That’s the quote of the month, as there’s no shortage of boots in Shoefly’s arsenal of designer footwear; furthermore, there’s no such thing as too many boots in a woman’s closet. With that, we’re pleased with this week’s Sole Steal of the Week, the Beo by Gentle Souls. Available in black leather or brown suede, the Beo combines the comfort of a soft leather boot with the sexy sophistication of a calf-covering full-leather body accented with shaped stitching atop a 2-inch heel.

We are excited to announce Shoeflyer’s second Sole Steal. Like last week’s sole steal, the Pazzo Jatem Luna Rosa, we are featuring another designer leather pump. This week’s Sole Steal is the Dulcie Pump by Gentle Souls. The Dulcie’s round toe and light chocolaty leather, with off-white accents, make it a crowd pleaser for both casual and formal occasions. Where them with jeans, or a dress. Aside from being super cute, the Dulcie pump by Gentle Souls is incredibly easy to wear and comfortable, which is a rare find when it comes to women’s designer heels.
