Patent Degrade Shoes

When shoes (or handbags) are listed as “degrade” or “gradient,” that means that two colors are used and one color is faded into the other. It’s a cool look that is very popular this season, particularly in patent leather.

Here are a couple “degrade” shoes that you may like.

Stuart Weitzman Stringalong Degrade Patent Flats

These cute flats come in red, blue or coal grey degrade patent. It’s a simple silhouette, but these shoes come alive with color. They are on sale at Zappos.com for $197.

If you like the Stuart Weitzman flats, you will probably also like the degrade pumps, which come in the same gradient colors.

Prada Degrade Pumps

These cute pumps feature peach color in the front that fades into white. I really like the buckle over the open toe. You can get these at Raffaello Network for $573. You can find these cheaper at Neiman Marcus, but they only have size 10 available ($490).

Le Silla Patent Wedge Pumps

This interesting patent wedge fades from yellow to grey. It’s on sale at a huge discount from Saks Fifth Avenue – marked down from $615 to $368.90. I love the square toe.

Just for fun, here are a couple cute bags too. Click on the pictures to go to Zappos for more info.

Michael Kors Romp

These patent leather skimmers are a trendy twist on basic flats. The Micheal Kors Romp comes in bright yellow patent, black patent, red patent or Tmoro suede.

They have a cute zipper adornment on the toe and a lot of adorable details. The leather is perforated throughout, giving them a textured look.

These shoes are available at Zappos.com for $198.95. Most customer reviews say they run a little small. Therefore, consider getting them in a 1/2 size larger than you usually wear.
