I bought the Vivaia shoes with the embroidered leopard. They are so cute but have no structure to hold my foot in. I could not wear these. Unfortunately, return window passed, so I have to keep them. I would give this style a pass.
I am a 70 yr old lady and have seen a lot of trends come and go. Every year we are being told that this or that style is ‘timeless’ only to tell us in two years that they are out of style. I am sure you wouldn’t mind when I say that I prefer to wear classic and slightly more traditional clothes and shoes that really áre timeless instead of all the heavy and very unflattering foot wear being advertised as the best thing since sliced bread. It’s ok for very young people in my opinion.
I'm in my mid seventies and feel similar to you particularly when it comes to footwear as for starters wear a half size which are not offered in all styles and many of my shoes are real leather plus I refuse to have to break a pair in. That being said; recently gave a pair of my all white leather peep toe shoes (that have a kitten heel and oh so comfortable) a dye job, converting them to black 'n white and received numerous compliments on the first wearing of them. (Majority of shoe in white with the heel and portion of the upper vamp in black.) To conclude; I'm glad I didn't get rid of them .... 🙂.
Yes! Ferragamo Vara pumps. Always classic. Always look great.And in the last 10 years I’ve started wearing AGL ballet flats. I have about 10 pairs in all colors.
Exactly! Trends come and go, personal style that takes into account personal proportion, age, and occupation is a more sustainable and timeless approach.
I can appreciate this video but, how there is nothing wrong with people wearing what they feel is suitable to their taste. Whether it's for comfort, affordability, age appropriateness, or just because they like it. Everyone isn't into staying on "trend" or keeping up with everything that's constantly in and out of style. Style n fashion is suggestable in my opinion. To each their own. Everyone be blessed and feel good about yourself no matter what you decide to wear.❤
Living in NY, the rules are different: there aren’t any. People wear anything and everything, or nothing 🥺. The obsession with always being “in style” according to external standards is why the landfills are bursting with discarded textiles. If you buy a pair of shoes that you like, are comfortable, and suit both your look and your lifestyle, you shouldn’t have to lose your investment by discarding them in a year because they “went out of style.”
Please please please don’t worry about what’s in what’s out, wear what you like, what looks good on your feet and buy less, waste less, be kind to environment 😊
I just discovered Gucci mules and that they were hip 5-8 years ago. But they still make and sell them, so I bought a pair after reading all the positive comments about them. And I must say they are so light, soft and comfortable. Worked about 14 km’s first time I wore them 😊. So who cares about what is on trend now ….I am 65 and just want to be comfortable 😅
@@staceykersting705 Yes...and who decides what is in style anyway? Is it "them" or "us"? If "Them" is the industry telling us what is in or out, then we are just all followers. I've seen some sincerely ugly shoe trends in the last 20+ years...and always portrayed as being in style.
I feel we have reached an era where many woman have chosen to reject the trends that have no support, damage the feet, and have high, thin heels.

Other than that I have noticed much more pushback on shoes that we know will cause genuine pain.
Classic pump heels with a regular rounded toe never go out of style. Converse, cowboy boots, a simple ballet flat, loafers, espiraldies, a pair of flips are timeless. Above all buy shoes that fit well and are comfortable
I think most of these 2023 trend shows are ugly. Trend or not I will wear shoes that I think look pretty and are confortable too. Classic style is never wrong.
While some of the don’t’s I agree are scary. A lot of the do’s are equally scary and many looked very uncomfortable. Some of the do’s were barely different from the don’t’s. I clicked on the video out of curiosity but prefer to follow my own style and what works best for me regardless of what anyone else thinks is “trendy” or “fashionable”. I’m sure there are those that find this helpful, so thank you for the well put together video.
I work in retail and merchandizing and I must say, regardless of “trends” my clients primarily narrow things down on practicality and comfort (which I second!) When I review a new shoe style, I ask: Can I wear this 8 hrs straight or if walking along diverse terrain in our region? Stilettos might be “sexy” but it’s also not cute hobbling down a sidewalk barefoot with ankle straps in hand… kind of defeats the purpose of buying them in the first place 😅 A classic slip on mule or cork wedge always seem to be top sellers for us because they check a lot of boxes: comfortable, versatile & neutral.
yes and I have found more and more event venues have polished concrete floors reminiscent of the polished marble floors in old buildings. The carpets are gone, and walking across the polished surface in stilettos is hazardous. Other venues: the garden party on the lawn, the beach wedding, the wedding on a wooden deck. None of these places are conducive to wearing stilettos! I have had heels sink into dirt, sand, and get stuck between the planks of wooden decking. Now when I am familiar with where I am going, I wear shoes that will work with whatever the flooring is. That means I am often selecting my outfit from the floor up!
Thank you for making the time to help others look their best. I want to make one point to keep us out of wasteful spending and sometimes debt. I own a ton of shoes and I cycle through them each year. I really can't agree that we should be on trend. That is beneficial to manufaturers and retailers. It is expensive and wasteful. Replace clothes and shoes as needed and donate those extra funds to edifying causes or investing in experiences.

‘Shoes that are out of style in 2023” denotes negativity and shame. Why buy into “Style Police” and who elects their view? Shoes that enhance outfits, create comfort, And make each woman happy is where it’s at!
It comes down to personal taste, I'd say. The suggested Massimo Dutti Marry Janes look dowdy to me. Birkenstocks are lounge footwear to me and I would not wear them on the street. New Balance sneakers are not pretty no matter how comfortable and popular they may be. I cannot imagine how a classic rounded toe Channel-like ballet flats can be out of style. They may not be trendy at the moment, but they are classic and always in style, in my book.
yes agree... i am though into the barefoot shoes atm. we need to remember our toes alignment....geting a bunion will date you more than a wide toe shoe. Flup flops are great too. A GOOD pedicured foot is the sexiest😂
The New Balance sneakers that are currently "in style" are lifestyle sneakers and not athletic sneakers. They are not that comfortable or well made. There are really cute athletic sneakers that are on trend and are actually comfortable and good for your feet.
Women should wear whatever shoes they want. Fashion is cyclical. ( Ballet flats NEVER go out of style) So,who cares what is" in fashion" for one season? It's all relative according to what a person likes for themselves. Sorry,but videos like this are silly.
@@katherineprange6619to be fare if you make a comm lile this person did you need to watch it so you can comment. You can not have a fare comment without viewing it. I am sure the person making the vid doesn't mind having a negative comment as it adds to their algorithm. Secondly I agreed with the original comment.
Thank you so much, Diana. Your videos are a joy to watch. You photograph and wear items beautifully, you explain clearly, and your backgrounds are elegant and unobtrusive. I love your authenticity, you wear items you have shown us before proving their timelessness. Your attention to detail in your lighting and graphics truly make your videos professional and engaging. It is uplifting to see this level of excellence. Well done and thank you for your inspiration both in your values and your fashion. All the best.
I can’t give up my mule sneakers. I love them for super cute casual looks in the summer. They’re white canvas keds and they’re a classic at the seaside. Especially for boating! Never giving them up. Love them!
I wear Vivala shoes and they are absolutely the best. I attend conventions for work and couldn’t be without them with all the walking. They also are perfect for jeans and a weekend look.
1. I’m glad you can afford to change out your shoes every year. 2. The fashion industry is prejudiced against women who are over a certain height or wear larger sizes. I am 6 foot tall. I have size 11 feet and wear a wide shoe (wide feet are due to genetics, not due to being overweight). Try finding “stylish” shoes in wide.
I just discovered your channel and appreciate this topic on shoes. I thought your presentation was very well thought-out. I believe sticking with classic styles that suit your lifestyle and have functionality to your physical preferences is key. Comfort is my number one priority. There are many stylish options out there that offer the comfort and practical aspects I look for. Thank you for your inspiration.
I can’t agree with you on all of these, it’s partly a matter of taste. I hate stiletto and kitten heels, or weird heels, and pointed toes. I’m not buying more slip-on sneakers now, but mine aren’t going anywhere, either, especially my Ralph Lauren woven-leather ones. I don’t buy super-trendy shoes, so I don’t have to throw mine out and buy new all the time. I only buy high-quality, genuine leather shoes, in as close to timeless styles as I can find.
Congratulations on your courage and authenticity! I can't even grasp existence of raters. You should never get a bad nor offensive commentary. Nobody deserves it less then yourself! Please be happy and kudos for your new endeavors!!❤
Thank you for the video. Very interesting. I think that when we are older, we must also consider the shape of our feet (toe joints, bones, the veining on the tops of the feet) and consider a solid base rather than skinny straps and heels, which can become dangerous. Also, I must consider where I'm going in the shoes. I walk a LOT on uneven surfaces in a large city with cobblestone streets. I'm not hanging out in hotels or on yachts, in general. 😂
Always very researched and extensive videos!!! My take on these featured shoes: mary janes always look little girl to me, strappy high heel sandals are definitely not comfortable in hot weather and I regret throwing away my driving loafers as I could keep them in the car to.... drive!!! I drive a manual car and definitely cannot drive with heels or mules....
Yes, unfortunately most shoes aren't truly comfortable, and dressier shoes are not suitable for walking far or in rain or snow. A person really has to ask themself how much am I willing to pay for shoes that I won't be wearing very often?
Who knew this would be so controversial a subject. Personally I found it very thorough and useful. I realize I have been wearing some dated shoes and it was definitely time for an update. I’ve been interested in this brand for a while. Seems too good to be true sustainable and stylish. I’ve made an order and eagerly awaiting the delivery. Thank you for the discount code, which made up my mind to go for it.
It is controversial because it is not promoting the idea of a personal style based on personal proportions, age, lifestyle and occupation, but on trends, that come and go and are not sustainable, and by all means do not suit all the same. On some people, they inevitably will look unflattering.
Steelcap boots have never gone out of fashion, can buy them now in more colours than dark brown. Gumboots have had slight changes now can get them in floral patterns, riding boots are every brown or black haven't seen a pink pair yet. Cowboy boots come in every colour, sandals have become more comfortable for walking in water etc.
I find it interesting that we get totally different ideas from the "influencers" on you tube. Such different ideas about what is "in" and what is not at any particular time. Personally, I just try to look chic and classic.
Diana, you are terrific when you five your opinions -- real guidance here. A very clear video that is about a subjective topic -- what shoes are on trend? -- tempered by your practical suggestions. Love this. Can't wait for the next one, for fall into winter!
Diana, you are a woman with a great deal of class. I think you personify a profile of women who are attentive to their appearance but not chasing trends. Thank you for a job well done.
Thank you so much for you tips. Today I'm over 70 but still apprecaite very much your guidance. To tell the truth for the eception of the shoes, tday I need more comffty ones, not toov flat and but no high heels eitehr😊
I love wedge sandals and always will. My take is to figure out what colours/shapes/styles suit my body, personality and lifestyle (and most importantly figure out which ones don't!) and then work within those parameters.Following fashion trends is a mug's/rich person's game as they don't last.....
This was a great video Diana, you have such a gift for teaching and making fashion fun ❤ I love the classy, medium height wedges ( in the last photo’ ❤
This was a great video! 🙂 I love how you speak your mind about styles you dislike. The only thing I disagree with are thin scrappy sandals with heels…in style or out…they are blister city! Ouch!
This is one of the most helpful style videos I have ever seen. Explaining & showing the current & past trends of each type of shoe helped me really understand what makes it current or not.
I have been wearing ballet flats for a number of years and have been my “signature” style of shoe. I find them to provide the greatest comfort particularly when walking for extended periods of time. Structure is important as, over time and excessive wear, they can lose their shape and become quite distorted and frumpy looking. When it comes to sneakers, I will only wear white traditional canvas sneakers. I wear both standard sole and platform. I am 4’8” and 70 years old and find it quite difficult to find stylish shoes in size 5. Comfort is a primary concern for me when purchasing shoes as there is nothing more painful than wearing uncomfortable shoes and will quickly ruin whatever social event you experience in a matter of moments. Thick strappy sandals look horrific on my tiny feet so shoes such as Birkenstocks are quite awkward looking on me and are a definite “No”! During cooler months, I often wear Docs, ankle boots, knee high boots, sneakers, or ballet flats. I love pumps for a more dressy look, but just can’t tolerate them for long periods of standing or walking. When I do choose to wear them, I throw a pair of ballet flats in my bag in the event my shoes become too uncomfortable to wear. I wish us ladies with tiny feet had more stylish options to choose from (without having to second mortgage the house)!
Staying on trend is a waste of money. Wear what is comfortable to your feet. If you are put together, & feel attractive & comfortable in your clothes, you are great.
Wow. You literally wiped the floor (pun intended) with your send-up of out-of-date shoes! Your timing could not have been better; I was just pondering why classic Keds looked so much more balanced on my narrow feet than the thick "trendy" marshmallow-soled variety! Thanks for a very informative (and money-saving) video.
So many nos! But seriously I never owned any of the nos, so I felt better after watching the video. You never mentioned moccasins. I love a good moccasin any time of year.
I definitely got out my shoes to check them out. I don't have a lot of shoes, because I am rural and 40 miles from a big town. I like the ideas, but I love the yellow and black dress. It's really stunning.
I have just become a fan of Vivaia. I hesitated for a long before trying them as I don’t like to order things online without a chance to check them in person for quality before I order. However, a few weeks ago I was online idly scrolling through some photos of events around the Coronation. There was a photo of Princess Anne at a Buckingham Palace garden party. Her shoes caught my eye, so I zoomed in for a closer look. they were Vivaia chunky-heel round-toe in cream. I could clearly see the “V” on the side, so they were definitely Vivaia. Well, I said to myself, if they are good enough for the Princess Royal to wear to a Buckingham Palace garden party they are good enough for me. I ordered the slingback chunk heel first, and I loved them. I have since ordered a couple of pairs of ballet flats and love them, too. I might add that I am in my 70s and have “difficult” feet - big, wide, bunions, the works. My new Vivaias look good, even on my feet, and are remarkably comfortable. I will be ordering more.
I can't wear Vivaia because of hammer toes and having lost the padding on the bottom of my feet. As a Canadian I find the final cost of the shoes too expensive. Plus I'd like to know how long they last if a person wears them at least twice a week. That said, I love love love the designs of these shoes. It upsets me that I can't wear them.
@@sbaumgartner9848 Aren’t feet a pain (literally)! I’ve got dreadful feet, but thankfully the Vivaias work for me. I’m ex-Canadian, now Australian so I understand your pain about the cost. (Our dollars are usually about par with each other.) I don’t know how well they will hold up - they do seem well made. Fortunately, I spend most of my life in sneakers and only need ‘nice’ shoes no more than once a week, so given my age these shoes will probably last me for the rest of my days.
While I agree on some points made, I am puzzled how any of the thin strappy sandals shown in the video can be comfortable... Only if someone dropped you at the house party, door to door delivery, without you driving yourself or walking the street...
Excellent video! Your out of style selections should be permanently out of style :). My fave summer shoes are espadrilles. My pairs are all classic thin sole flats not open toe, laced up, or strapped. They go with my linen pants and dresses I wear in hot weather. The classic jute insole espadrilles are great for sweaty feet.
I wonder why the people who who so militantly say...I will wear what I want... Even watch these videos. Just to scream no one tells ME what to do?? She's just offering advice and what she sees as beautiful.
I have seen styles come and go from my early teens in the late 50s through to now .I don't follow trends, I wear what suits me and if I am comfortable in toepostes I will wear them. I find people who try to dictate or advise what to wear presumptious.
I think that brand for shoes has a little ugly going on they are expensive but look a little cheap. When it comes to shoes I need comfort and support 🦋
Just discovered you. You have gorgeous style. Loved every outfit you wore showcasing the shoes. Would’ve loved to have seen what type of white pants and shoes you were wearing with that gorgeous lime top you wore throughout this video.
Thank God I love the more 'urban' style soles. I have skinny legs and big shoulders. The slightly heavier styles tend to balance my look. Flats give me horrible back ache... my soles need to have some contour for support. Also, my feet/toes have been broken, so it's a miracle to find something that doesn't torture my feet. Usually, I wear Dansco clogs, Nikes, or Clarks sandals. Those flat sandals set the bottoms of my feet on fire, and too slippery to be anywhere near a boat or water of any kind.I'd def' trip myself up on all that dainty stuff. That's never been me.
I want to be stylish not necessarily trendy. In my opinion most of the "off trend' shoes featured here, are ugly and I would go for a more classic style that im sure, my daughter in law's would say is boring. I know the style now is chunky loafers and over sized jackets but the classic loafers and fitted jackets, and trench coats will never look unstylish. I think you have to go with what you feel you are most comfortable with. This channel is great though to bring prospective and to actually think about what you can do to improve on what you like. Thankyou Diana ❤
Thank you for the informative content, Diana. In my experience, styles get reshuffled and come back-espadrilles are the perfect example-so I know better than to get rid of nice shoes only to have to spend money again when the fashion gurus and designers decide this or that style should come back. Also, IMO, it would benefit you if you sized up a half inch on your sandals; starting with the white-heeled summer ones you say you love to wear. You have really nice legs but your feet not fitting well in them, and, either having the heel coming off or the big toe far up in the front for others, just simply distracts. Play the video and pay close attention. Best wishes!
My extremely narrow feet(8.5ss) is almost impossible to be fashion forward. For some ridiculous reason manufacturers think a slender foot needs Velcro frumpy designs.
I'm 74yrs wear a size 51/2-6 . Have a collection of shoes from early 60s. Lately I've found the shoes are either not available in my size. Found that I've had to go to Boys size 3 for sneakers 👟 . The original Nikes I have are not the same fit today. Guess I'm stuck in 1.99 to 6.00 price era😅
I found the vivaya are not very comfortable unless you have very narrow feet. You can’t even go up a size to make up the difference. You just end up with a longer narrow shoe. I don’t have wide feet and they are too narrow for me. So disappointing
I wear Slim shoes - AAA & most shoes come in Medium width- B. It is difficult to find these narrow styles & they are more expensive so I can’t buy what’s “in style” every season especially since I’m retired & on a limited budget.
You lost me at Birkenstocks and clunky, masculine Fisherman sandals as being on trend but then calling chunky wedge sandles clunky but popular and stacked heels as popular but outdated. How can something popular be outdated? Ladies, wear what you love, not what somebody else deems to be "on trend".
New subscriber and love your content. I have an extremely hard time finding shoes due to my odd feet. Size 5 (if I'm lucky a 5.5), Very wide at the toe box and very narrow at the heel with an extremely high arch. My arch is so high that I must wear size 6 in sneakers and still cannot close the tongue completely when tied. So I cannot wear anything that goes over the arch or it will dig in. I also cannot wear slingbacks as the back strap falls off. I've been searching for a ballet flat, but if I find a size 5 and they fit my toe box, my heels pull out when I walk! So frustrating. I live in flip flops and are so sick of them. But you showed me some fantastic shoes that I am going to try. Thanks!
I personally don’t like them, but a lot of women find them comfortable and you can still find pretty models among them, so I could not include them in out of style category.
There is a saying “no hoof, no horse” meaning hoof care is primary in keeping a horse going! Same with people! Being a slave to shoe fashion in exchange for healthy feet is ridiculous. Buy the best made shoes you can afford and ones that take you from point A to point B without PAIN! Shoes are not a form of bondage ladies!!

yes agree... i am though into the barefoot shoes atm. we need to remember our toes alignment....geting a bunion will date you more than a wide toe shoe. Flup flops are great too. A GOOD pedicured foot is the sexiest😂
Agree 100%.
The New Balance sneakers that are currently "in style" are lifestyle sneakers and not athletic sneakers. They are not that comfortable or well made. There are really cute athletic sneakers that are on trend and are actually comfortable and good for your feet.
Women should wear whatever shoes they want. Fashion is cyclical. ( Ballet flats NEVER go out of style) So,who cares what is" in fashion" for one season? It's all relative according to what a person likes for themselves. Sorry,but videos like this are silly.
Then, why do you watch? Asking for a friend.
@@katherineprange6619to be fare if you make a comm lile this person did you need to watch it so you can comment. You can not have a fare comment without viewing it. I am sure the person making the vid doesn't mind having a negative comment as it adds to their algorithm. Secondly I agreed with the original comment.
I just bought a pair of leather wedge sandals with thicker straps. Honestly I find them a lot cuter than the ones that were recommended instead.
I wear, what is comfy and looks lovely on my feet. Never ran after any trendy stuff !
I love how she says to us that the "Dad sneaker is out". Then proceeds to model NB sneakers the look like Dad sneakers.🤔😂
I thought that too!
I also have noticed that😅
I always thought the Dad sneakers were so ugly. Trend doesn't make them cute.
Thank you so much, Diana. Your videos are a joy to watch. You photograph and wear items beautifully, you explain clearly, and your backgrounds are elegant and unobtrusive. I love your authenticity, you wear items you have shown us before proving their timelessness. Your attention to detail in your lighting and graphics truly make your videos professional and engaging. It is uplifting to see this level of excellence. Well done and thank you for your inspiration both in your values and your fashion. All the best.
Thanks for the video. You say thong sandals are out, but flip flops are in. They look the same to me.
I can’t give up my mule sneakers. I love them for super cute casual looks in the summer. They’re white canvas keds and they’re a classic at the seaside. Especially for boating! Never giving them up. Love them!
I love mule sneakers with sun dresses!!
I wear Vivala shoes and they are absolutely the best. I attend conventions for work and couldn’t be without them with all the walking. They also are perfect for jeans and a weekend look.
I love my Birkenstock large buckle Gizeh sandals .I find they are flattering on everybody , particularly in the deep brown colour
1. I’m glad you can afford to change out your shoes every year. 2. The fashion industry is prejudiced against women who are over a certain height or wear larger sizes. I am 6 foot tall. I have size 11 feet and wear a wide shoe (wide feet are due to genetics, not due to being overweight). Try finding “stylish” shoes in wide.
Hi Beth, how's your day going with you?
I just discovered your channel and appreciate this topic on shoes. I thought your presentation was very well thought-out. I believe sticking with classic styles that suit your lifestyle and have functionality to your physical preferences is key. Comfort is my number one priority. There are many stylish options out there that offer the comfort and practical aspects I look for. Thank you for your inspiration.
I can’t agree with you on all of these, it’s partly a matter of taste. I hate stiletto and kitten heels, or weird heels, and pointed toes. I’m not buying more slip-on sneakers now, but mine aren’t going anywhere, either, especially my Ralph Lauren woven-leather ones. I don’t buy super-trendy shoes, so I don’t have to throw mine out and buy new all the time. I only buy high-quality, genuine leather shoes, in as close to timeless styles as I can find.
Right Advice, Diana! However, the Black Mesh Flats early on, had an unfortunate TOE Shape. If you view the video again you'll surely notice!
They are definitely not flattering either.
Congratulations on your courage and authenticity! I can't even grasp existence of raters. You should never get a bad nor offensive commentary. Nobody deserves it less then yourself! Please be happy and kudos for your new endeavors!!❤
Tory Burch miller Sandals will never be out of style.
Thank you for the video. Very interesting. I think that when we are older, we must also consider the shape of our feet (toe joints, bones, the veining on the tops of the feet) and consider a solid base rather than skinny straps and heels, which can become dangerous. Also, I must consider where I'm going in the shoes. I walk a LOT on uneven surfaces in a large city with cobblestone streets. I'm not hanging out in hotels or on yachts, in general. 😂
Always very researched and extensive videos!!! My take on these featured shoes: mary janes always look little girl to me, strappy high heel sandals are definitely not comfortable in hot weather and I regret throwing away my driving loafers as I could keep them in the car to.... drive!!! I drive a manual car and definitely cannot drive with heels or mules....
I always thought that driving loafers were a timeless look with a practical bent.
Yes, unfortunately most shoes aren't truly comfortable, and dressier shoes are not suitable for walking far or in rain or snow. A person really has to ask themself how much am I willing to pay for shoes that I won't be wearing very often?
Who knew this would be so controversial a subject. Personally I found it very thorough and useful. I realize I have been wearing some dated shoes and it was definitely time for an update. I’ve been interested in this brand for a while. Seems too good to be true sustainable and stylish. I’ve made an order and eagerly awaiting the delivery. Thank you for the discount code, which made up my mind to go for it.
It is controversial because it is not promoting the idea of a personal style based on personal proportions, age, lifestyle and occupation, but on trends, that come and go and are not sustainable, and by all means do not suit all the same. On some people, they inevitably will look unflattering.
Steelcap boots have never gone out of fashion, can buy them now in more colours than dark brown. Gumboots have had slight changes now can get them in floral patterns, riding boots are every brown or black haven't seen a pink pair yet. Cowboy boots come in every colour, sandals have become more comfortable for walking in water etc.
Hi Helen, how's your day going with you?
I am so happy you included Birkenstocks! I have arthritis in my feet and they're a fine balance between Orthopedic sandals and regular fun ones!
Those of us with problems with our feet really struggle to find comfortable yet acceptable-looking shoes.
And extremely Ugly
I find it interesting that we get totally different ideas from the "influencers" on you tube. Such different ideas about what is "in" and what is not at any particular time. Personally, I just try to look chic and classic.
They don't really know more than anyone else, let's face it. They're just trying to sell merchandise.
Diana, you are terrific when you five your opinions -- real guidance here. A very clear video that is about a subjective topic -- what shoes are on trend? -- tempered by your practical suggestions. Love this. Can't wait for the next one, for fall into winter!
Diana, you are a woman with a great deal of class. I think you personify a profile of women who are attentive to their appearance but not chasing trends. Thank you for a job well done.
Thank you so much for you tips. Today I'm over 70 but still apprecaite very much your guidance. To tell the truth for the eception of the shoes, tday I need more comffty ones, not toov flat and but no high heels eitehr😊
I am agree with classic, never looks ridiculous or out of style. 👍
I love wedge sandals and always will. My take is to figure out what colours/shapes/styles suit my body, personality and lifestyle (and most importantly figure out which ones don't!) and then work within those parameters.Following fashion trends is a mug's/rich person's game as they don't last.....
This was a great video Diana, you have such a gift for teaching and making fashion fun ❤ I love the classy, medium height wedges ( in the last photo’ ❤
Oh my! Steal my heart! The pink sling backs are soooo lovely.
This was a great video! 🙂 I love how you speak your mind about styles you dislike. The only thing I disagree with are thin scrappy sandals with heels…in style or out…they are blister city! Ouch!
This is one of the most helpful style videos I have ever seen. Explaining & showing the current & past trends of each type of shoe helped me really understand what makes it current or not.
I have been wearing ballet flats for a number of years and have been my “signature” style of shoe. I find them to provide the greatest comfort particularly when walking for extended periods of time. Structure is important as, over time and excessive wear, they can lose their shape and become quite distorted and frumpy looking. When it comes to sneakers, I will only wear white traditional canvas sneakers. I wear both standard sole and platform. I am 4’8” and 70 years old and find it quite difficult to find stylish shoes in size 5. Comfort is a primary concern for me when purchasing shoes as there is nothing more painful than wearing uncomfortable shoes and will quickly ruin whatever social event you experience in a matter of moments. Thick strappy sandals look horrific on my tiny feet so shoes such as Birkenstocks are quite awkward looking on me and are a definite “No”! During cooler months, I often wear Docs, ankle boots, knee high boots, sneakers, or ballet flats. I love pumps for a more dressy look, but just can’t tolerate them for long periods of standing or walking. When I do choose to wear them, I throw a pair of ballet flats in my bag in the event my shoes become too uncomfortable to wear. I wish us ladies with tiny feet had more stylish options to choose from (without having to second mortgage the house)!
I like most of the options. Wearing flat pointed toes though, makes you foot look longer/bigger. When did big feet become desirable?
Also visually creates a longer slimmer leg.
Staying on trend is a waste of money. Wear what is comfortable to your feet. If you are put together, & feel attractive & comfortable in your clothes, you are great.
Hello - age 60 from UK here - I love my white Supergas - they were trendy about four years ago but I still enjoy them. What is your opinion?
Wow. You literally wiped the floor (pun intended) with your send-up of out-of-date shoes! Your timing could not have been better; I was just pondering why classic Keds looked so much more balanced on my narrow feet than the thick "trendy" marshmallow-soled variety! Thanks for a very informative (and money-saving) video.
So many nos! But seriously I never owned any of the nos, so I felt better after watching the video. You never mentioned moccasins. I love a good moccasin any time of year.
I definitely got out my shoes to check them out. I don't have a lot of shoes, because I am rural and 40 miles from a big town. I like the ideas, but I love the yellow and black dress. It's really stunning.
Guys it’s all business and marketing 😉
Don’t be a fool 😂
I’m not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings ❤
I have just become a fan of Vivaia. I hesitated for a long before trying them as I don’t like to order things online without a chance to check them in person for quality before I order. However, a few weeks ago I was online idly scrolling through some photos of events around the Coronation. There was a photo of Princess Anne at a Buckingham Palace garden party. Her shoes caught my eye, so I zoomed in for a closer look. they were Vivaia chunky-heel round-toe in cream. I could clearly see the “V” on the side, so they were definitely Vivaia. Well, I said to myself, if they are good enough for the Princess Royal to wear to a Buckingham Palace garden party they are good enough for me.
I ordered the slingback chunk heel first, and I loved them. I have since ordered a couple of pairs of ballet flats and love them, too. I might add that I am in my 70s and have “difficult” feet - big, wide, bunions, the works. My new Vivaias look good, even on my feet, and are remarkably comfortable. I will be ordering more.
I can't wear Vivaia because of hammer toes and having lost the padding on the bottom of my feet. As a Canadian I find the final cost of the shoes too expensive. Plus I'd like to know how long they last if a person wears them at least twice a week. That said, I love love love the designs of these shoes. It upsets me that I can't wear them.
@@sbaumgartner9848 Aren’t feet a pain (literally)! I’ve got dreadful feet, but thankfully the Vivaias work for me. I’m ex-Canadian, now Australian so I understand your pain about the cost. (Our dollars are usually about par with each other.) I don’t know how well they will hold up - they do seem well made. Fortunately, I spend most of my life in sneakers and only need ‘nice’ shoes no more than once a week, so given my age these shoes will probably last me for the rest of my days.
I would ignore this video. Who says something is out of style which is comfortable and attractive? I call bs!
Very helpful going right to the point with examples too. Thank you.
I should've kept my Birkenstock sandals from the 80's. They are exactly the same.
I also hate shoes that are gathered with top-line elastic, they’re super-frumpy.
I will always wear timeless pieces no trends for me .I have my own personal style. I'm not a follower.😊
❤ same ... I have no money to waste on trends ... classic styles all the way!
While I agree on some points made, I am puzzled how any of the thin strappy sandals shown in the video can be comfortable... Only if someone dropped you at the house party, door to door delivery, without you driving yourself or walking the street...
Thank so much! Really enjoyed the talk and advice! 🌼
I had pointed toe flats in 1981 loved them but I would never wear the round toes or the square elongated
comfortable shoes that make you feel happy wearing them no matter what the style will always be the best choice.
Great point about wider straps for bigger feet, which I have (plus bunions).. I love thin strappy sandals but alas! Not for me...
Hi Adrienne, how's your day going with you?
Excellent video! Your out of style selections should be permanently out of style :).
My fave summer shoes are espadrilles. My pairs are all classic thin sole flats not open toe, laced up, or strapped. They go with my linen pants and dresses I wear in hot weather. The classic jute insole espadrilles are great for sweaty feet.
I wonder why the people who who so militantly say...I will wear what I want... Even watch these videos. Just to scream no one tells ME what to do?? She's just offering advice and what she sees as beautiful.
I have seen styles come and go from my early teens in the late 50s through to now .I don't follow
trends, I wear what suits me and if I am comfortable in toepostes I will wear them. I find
people who try to dictate or advise what to wear
presumptious.
Hi Brenda, how's your day going with you?
Go to hell, lover scammer 👹
Excellent video with good information. Thank you very much 😊
I think that brand for
shoes has a little ugly going on they are expensive but look a little cheap. When it comes to shoes I need comfort and support 🦋
Just discovered you. You have gorgeous style. Loved every outfit you wore showcasing the shoes. Would’ve loved to have seen what type of white pants and shoes you were wearing with that gorgeous lime top you wore throughout this video.
Thank God I love the more 'urban' style soles. I have skinny legs and big shoulders. The slightly heavier styles tend to balance my look. Flats give me horrible back ache... my soles need to have some contour for support. Also, my feet/toes have been broken, so it's a miracle to find something that doesn't torture my feet. Usually, I wear Dansco clogs, Nikes, or Clarks sandals. Those flat sandals set the bottoms of my feet on fire, and too slippery to be anywhere near a boat or water of any kind.I'd def' trip myself up on all that dainty stuff. That's never been me.
I want to be stylish not necessarily trendy. In my opinion most of the "off trend' shoes featured here, are ugly and I would go for a more classic style that im sure, my daughter in law's would say is boring. I know the style now is chunky loafers and over sized jackets but the classic loafers and fitted jackets, and trench coats will never look unstylish. I think you have to go with what you feel you are most comfortable with. This channel is great though to bring prospective and to actually think about what you can do to improve on what you like. Thankyou Diana ❤
Hi Bea, how's your day going with you?
Another great video, thank you! I loved the white skirt😍
Actually, the socks' sneckers are more stylish and beautiful and comfy from all what u showed after. More flattering from addidas and convers
I only wear Strappy Heeled Sandals with everything so I never really cared what's in & what's outdated !!😌
Thank you for the informative content, Diana. In my experience, styles get reshuffled and come back-espadrilles are the perfect example-so I know better than to get rid of nice shoes only to have to spend money again when the fashion gurus and designers decide this or that style should come back. Also, IMO, it would benefit you if you sized up a half inch on your sandals; starting with the white-heeled summer ones you say you love to wear. You have really nice legs but your feet not fitting well in them, and, either having the heel coming off or the big toe far up in the front for others, just simply distracts. Play the video and pay close attention. Best wishes!
Hi Marie, how's your day going with you?
My extremely narrow feet(8.5ss) is almost impossible to be fashion forward. For some ridiculous reason manufacturers think a slender foot needs Velcro frumpy designs.
Thank you for addressing shoes for wide feet and thick ankles. It seems like everyone recommends strappy sandals but they dont work for my fat ankles.
Hi Beverly, how's your day going with you?
I'm 74yrs wear a size 51/2-6 . Have a collection of shoes from early 60s. Lately I've found the shoes are either not available in my size. Found that I've had to go to Boys size 3 for sneakers 👟 . The original Nikes I have are not the same fit today. Guess I'm stuck in 1.99 to 6.00 price era😅
I went to Vivaia to buy the beige ballet flats featured. I couldn't find them. Could I have more details please? Thank you.
Thanks very much for your hard work and good organization. Your style is inspiring. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I love chunky wedges and I think they look fabulous on everyone! The new version is hideous, I O.
I found the vivaya are not very comfortable unless you have very narrow feet. You can’t even go up a size to make up the difference. You just end up with a longer narrow shoe. I don’t have wide feet and they are too narrow for me. So disappointing
I wear Slim shoes - AAA & most shoes come in Medium width- B. It is difficult to find these narrow styles & they are more expensive so I can’t buy what’s “in style” every season especially since I’m retired & on a limited budget.
You lost me at Birkenstocks and clunky, masculine Fisherman sandals as being on trend but then calling chunky wedge sandles clunky but popular and stacked heels as popular but outdated. How can something popular be outdated? Ladies, wear what you love, not what somebody else deems to be "on trend".
Comfort- especially after 3 rounds of foot surgery trumps fashion. I’m keeping my AGLs.
I loved your video, you are a wonderful person, new subscriber, cordial greetings from Mexico City.💚💚💚
Thank you! Welcome to my community 🙌
New subscriber and love your content. I have an extremely hard time finding shoes due to my odd feet. Size 5 (if I'm lucky a 5.5), Very wide at the toe box and very narrow at the heel with an extremely high arch. My arch is so high that I must wear size 6 in sneakers and still cannot close the tongue completely when tied. So I cannot wear anything that goes over the arch or it will dig in. I also cannot wear slingbacks as the back strap falls off. I've been searching for a ballet flat, but if I find a size 5 and they fit my toe box, my heels pull out when I walk! So frustrating. I live in flip flops and are so sick of them. But you showed me some fantastic shoes that I am going to try. Thanks!
Great video. You forgot to mention the block heels!☺
I personally don’t like them, but a lot of women find them comfortable and you can still find pretty models among them, so I could not include them in out of style category.
I love the Mary Janes! I think you said 'Masssimo Duty'- but I can't find them anywhere....
tried to order shoes with your link and the site would not send the verification code to sign in.
Well I decide what is IN FOR ME and that's that! In some of these "shoes" I won't be seen dead! Sorry my opinion.
There is a saying “no hoof, no horse” meaning hoof care is primary in keeping a horse going! Same with people! Being a slave to shoe fashion in exchange for healthy feet is ridiculous. Buy the best made shoes you can afford and ones that take you from point A to point B without PAIN! Shoes are not a form of bondage ladies!!
I’ll just wear what is comfortable and stylish (in my opinion), fashionable is definitely way, way, at the bottom of my list!
Hi
I would like to see good looking shoes that offer good support for the feet and soles
Not narrow pointing shoes that help cause big toe to deform
