Boots for Summer? The Newest Fashion Trend

Seeing boots mixed in with summer shoes at your favourite Canadian shoe store may make you do a double take, but it’s just the latest trend in warm weather fashion for women. Summer boots appeared on the runways earlier this year, popping up everywhere from the Vivienne Westwood show to Burberry, Versace and Lacoste.

Summer boots go with a wide variety of different looks: floral-print dresses and skirts, white t-shirts and jeans, denim shorts, Bermuda shorts, and hot pants. These aren’t your wintery Uggs or faux fur-lined laceups. Summer boots are soft, lightweight and shorter than winter boots, available in colours like sand beige, rose and white. Summer boots have that well-worn look of your favourite leather jacket, and are often seen in canvas or cloths in Canadian shoe stores.

Keep the look casual and summery by not tucking your jeans into summer boots. Speaking of summer boots, have you seen the newest collaboration between Dr. Martens and Stussy? The Hambleton isn’t technically a boot style, but we’re used to seeing Docs in sturdier shoe or boot format, so this is a nice change.

It’s also perfectly acceptable to pair winter boots with your summer ensemble, like 14 or 20-eyelet  Dr. Martens  from Zelen Shoes, as long as you keep your outfit casual – think airy dresses or flowing skirts.

Sneakers to Tone Your Body – Do They Work?

One of the latest fads to hit the stores this season: sneakers that promise to tone up your butt, thighs and legs. Reebok has just come out with their new EasyTone sneakers, and Skechers has their similar Shape-ups. While the ads look promising, do they work?

Reebok says that their EasyTones provide “28% more muscle activation within the glutes and around 11% more muscle activation within the hamstrings and calves… significantly more that the standard performance shoe.”

The key to these sneakers that firm your body is instability. They have a sloping design that means you have to work harder to balance in them. The sneaker manufacturer’s also advise against playing any sports in them due to this instability, meaning you can only walk in these rocker-soled sneakers.

The consensus: before you head to your Canadian shoe retailer to pick up a pair of body-toning sneakers, realize that there’s no miracle fix to get in shape. These sneakers may help you tighten and tone if you’re willing to put in the work and walk for at least 20 to 30 minutes three times per week. But, if you’re expecting a bikini body without much effort, or without sacrificing the snacks, you’re going to be sadly disappointed in these sneakers.
