In tough economic times, it’s silly to expect everyone to re-vamp their entire wardrobe every season. It’s just far too costly for most of us. Fortunately, several of the hot shoe trends from summertime will carry over to next season. To extend your wardrobe, check out these summer shoes that will work for fall.

Peep-toe Pumps
For the office, peep-toe pumps are a big hit. When fall rolls around, you can still show off your toes. The weather isn’t freezing in the autumn, so showing off your pedicure in a pretty pair of peep-toe pumps is still appropriate.

Cuffed Sandals
You know all those trendy sandals that are out there with the thick ankle cuff? Though I’m not a big fan, many women love these shoes. Well, you don’t have to put them away at the end of summer, cuff sandals will work well for fall. Wear them with your favorite fall dresses.

High Heel Gladiators
When the weather cools down, if you love your gladiators, you can still wear them. Instead of bare legs, wear gladiator sandals with a denim mini and tights for an edgy, hip look. Same thing holds true for studded sandals.

Anything Yellow
Did you stock up on yellow shoes this year? Yellow has definitely been the hottest color in fashion during 2009 and that will continue for fall. So don’t put away those yellow ballet flats…they are still a fabulous choice through the end of the year.

Of course, there are multitude of shoes that you can wear all year round, including open toe ankle boots, leopard print pumps, brightly colored evening sandals and kitten heeled mules. Whatever you wear, wear it with confidence!

Via Spiga Aaron Sandal
Metallic doesn’t necessarily mean extra shiny, as you can see by these bronze sandals. These T-strap sandals have a modern look with their soft bronze leather and open style. These shoes have a 4-inch heel with a 1-inch platform for some extra lift. They are priced at $215.

Via Spiga Eddie Sandal
If you like gladiators, you will dig these mirrored silver sandals from Via Spiga. They feature an adjustable ankle strap and 4 1/4-inch wedge heel. I like the combination of metallic leather with the chunky cork sole. These sandals are available for $185.

Via Spiga Dallas Sandal
While the gladiators are chunky and trendy, you might be looking for a more classic evening sandal. If that’s the case, you’ll love these gold slingbacks. They feature a rhinestone ornament over the peeptoe. You can get the Via Spiga Dallas sandal right now at Nordstrom for 40% off. Originally priced at $198.95, they are now just $119.90.

Recently, I learned about these Stuart Weitzman shoes for Fall 2009, which include an ankle boot and a gladiator sandal that you may like.

These charcoal suede ankle booties feature a platform sole and very skinny heel. The suede Stuart Weitzman Seamstress is priced at $375.

A new take on gladiator sandals, these satin evening shoes from Stuart Weitzman feature three buckled ankle straps and a thin heel encrusted with crystals. Priced at $575, the Glotorrid sandals are dazzling for fall.

Look for these shoes at stuartweitzman.com and other retailers where Stuart Weitzman footwear is sold.

Neutral Shoes
I have touched on it here in recent weeks, but neutral shoes in cream, beige and off-white are really trendy for spring and summer. They are a fabulous way to extend your wardrobe because you can wear them with almost anything.

Snakeskin Sandals
The exotic skins are in. Python sandals are at the forefront this season. But if you can’t afford to splurge a thousand bucks on genuine skin sandals (like the ones below), don’t fret. Many designers are offering faux skins that still look like a million bucks.

Hippie-Chic Shoes
Get into the Bohemian trend with shoes accented with fringe, beading and other hippie inspirations. Flat thong sandals embellished with beads and espadrille wedges are popular choices.

Gladitor Sandals
Though I’m not a fan, gladiator sandals are back this season in a big way. From flats to knee-high versions, gladiators are everywhere. If you love this trend, you certainly won’t find it difficult to find a pair.

Studded Shoes
Edgy shoes embellished with studs, rivets and zippers are getting lots of attention. If you like the rocker chic/biker chic trend, you’ll love the number of studded sandals and pumps on the shelves. But they don’t need to be dark and dreary, check out these colorful studded sandals from Sofft.

Ankle Cuffs
This is one trend that I don’t like at all. Instead of thin ankle straps, many shoe designers are going with the wide ankle cuffs instead. These cuffs aren’t a good choice for short women or those with thick ankles. They make you legs look short and stumpy.

Cut-out Booties
Booties aren’t just for cold weather, apparently. This year, many cutout booties are making their way into summer fashions. With open toes and cut out sides, these shoes can work well with warm weather clothing. Caged booties (like the ones pictured here) are also trendy.

The Juicy Couture Lavish To-The-Knee gladiator sandals feature brown leather straps, an open toe and flat heel. They zip up the back for your convenience. As ugly as they look here, I’d imagine they will look even worse on your feet/legs.

Image: Neiman Marcus

I was so hoping that the gladiator sandal trend would fade away this year, but it’s back with a vengeance. My recommendation to you. Don’t wear these shoes under any circumstances. Well, unless you are going to a costume party … as a gladiator, of course.

These gladiator sandals are available at Neiman Marcus for $295. Yikes!

BCBGMAXAZRIA Zip-front Sandals - Image: Saks Fifth Avenue

The gladiator trend is hot again this season, and so are studded details. Throw them together, add a zipper up the front and you get one ugly pair of BCBGMAXAZRIA sandals.

Featuring brown pebbled leather and a mini wedge heel, I think these shoes are an atrocity. But if you love them, you can get them now at Saks Fifth Avenue for $225.

In case you can’t get enough of the style, they also made a heeled version (which is ever so slightly better looking) for $25 more.

It’s no secret that I’m not the biggest fan of gladiator sandals and it’s probably because last year they were everywhere and on everybody. This spring, I hope that people learn to wear them in moderation.

If I were to choose a gladiator sandal for myself, I’d select a high heeled version like this one from the KORS Michael Kors label. This shoe features stud detailing and a 4-inch stacked cone heel.

You can get the Pareh Gladiator Sandal right now at Saks Fifth Avenue for $240. It comes in either chocolate brown or black.

I prefer the high heel gladiators so much more than something like this:

If you like this flat sandal from Candela is priced at $230, also at Saks.

Gladiator Sandals

They started out innocently enough. But before we knew it, gladiator sandals were everywhere. And they were getting taller and taller – and I’m not talking about the heels. These sandals were crawling up the leg and pretty soon knee-high (and higher!) gladiator sandals were on the runways and the city streets. Unfortunately, it looks like gladiators are back again for Spring 2009. Hopefully, this time they’ll stay under control with simple styles and basic silhouettes.

Open-Toe Booties

One of the hottest (and perhaps the most illogical) trends of Fall 2008 were open-toe booties. Boots and booties are supposed to keep your feet warm in cold weather. Therefore, it doesn’t make much sense to have your toes sticking out. But it seemed every shoe designer was hot for open-toe booties, and consumers were as well. Maybe I’m a little old fashioned, but I’ll save the open-toe shoes for spring and summer.

Architectural Heels

Designers went crazy with architectural heels and art noveau designs. They were modern, hip and totally not wearable. Interesting, sometimes. Practical, absolutely not. From cut-out heels to heels that didn’t even exist, these shoes were far too trendy for their own good.

Military Boots

I’ve never been a fan of military boots for women. They are clunky, junky and just plain ugly. This year when ladies were pairing military boots with feminine dresses, it was enough to make this girl gag. Hopefully in 2009, military boots stay were they belong – on military men.

UGGs and Crocs

These boots and shoes would probably be on my list every year. Though UGG did put out some decent styles this year, the UGG Cardy Classic won’t seem to die. And as for Crocs, I’m not sure what to say, other than they are really just gardening shoes and should stay in the garden! I don’t want to see them on the streets, and I certainly don’t want to see them at nice restaurants.

I wish you all a Happy New Year. And here’s to plenty of peep-toe pumps, sexy sandals and patent boots in 2009.

A simple sandal goes glamorous with these Guiseppe Zanotti jeweled thong sandals. These gold metallic leather sandals feature a dazzling amber brooch accent and a flat heel.

You can order these sandals right now at Neiman Marcus for $695.

Another trend that I’m seeing is gladiator sandals. After so many of these sandals throughout the spring and summer of 2008, I was hoping they wouldn’t return for 2009, but it looks like they are back! Over at Neiman Marcus, you will see a lot of gladiator sandals in their Resort 2009 shoes. Maybe if we ignore them, they will go away!
