Contrast
February 2, 2005 by Designer EllaI find shoes to look much more appealing when there’s a contrast in colors. When it comes to black shoes, I probably won’t like ‘em if they’re all black, I’d prefer a little white or pink in the mix. Contrast stitching is very nice, but even the insole having a nice bright color or even a skin tone helps in my enjoyment of window shopping or purchasing a shoe. If the shoe is black or dark, that contrast on the inside is needed to see more details of the design. Even the simple tan color is perfect, because it will look how it may on the foot.
This post would work well as a tip to the shoe designers, if they were only reading and could work from all of my tips! I know shoes.
I want to add a bit of advice to shoppers. Don’t be fooled by contrast insoles to think that color is actually a part of the shoe. It can be very attractive, but no one will see that part of it, only your pale/tan/brown foot.
