Shoe trends

Have you noticed how trends in footwear have changed over time? I
guess I'm the age where one realizes that, lol. I'm not just talking
about what the media presents but also what women actually wear. A
while back looking professional meant wearing closed–toe shoes with a
chunky heel. Then wearing barely–there thongs, slides, and strappy
heels became the norm everywhere. Teens nowadays wear flip–flops year
round. I remember a time when younger women wore construction boots.
And a time when summers were spent in bare feet.
Now it looks like those weird bunion–inducing pointy shoes are
supposed to be "in." But if my daughters are any indication,
flip–flops will never be out of style.
What type of shoes do you prefer, or do you keep up with what's in
style?

One thing I notice (and which makes me happy) is that platform sandals seem
to endure out here in LA (not sure if this holds true in other parts of the
country). There was a long period after the 70s I remember where you did not
see them. Now they are a staple of sorts. Even if they are not officially
"in", you can find them on Melrose and in shops like that.

I occasionally tip my hat to trends but on a day to day basis I try to
wear something comfortable. That means brands like Clarks, etc.
I do think shoes with heels are more attractive but they are not that
comfortable.
It does seem that platforms have now become somewhat of a classic. I
like ones with flexible bottoms but not the hard wooden kind. My
advice is wear what is comfortable!
