5 of the Best Studded Shoes

Studs have got to be one of the biggest trends when it comes to autumn/winter 2012 and here at Her.ie headquarters we are absolutely loving the massive range of studded shoes out there at the minute.

They’re quirky, edgy and, most importantly, they’ll take whatever you’re wearing and immediately catapult it straight into the realms of on-trend style for the current season.

These spikey shoes look great with a grungey or gothic look, but that being said, they’re also fab at toughening up an otherwise overtly-feminine dress or outfit.

Here are our top five favourite studded shoes out there at the minute…

Frosacc Studded Shoe Boots by ALDO, €120.84, ASOS:

These suede boots are perfect if you want an understated twist on the trend. The spikey detailing on the back is subtle but still makes a statement. The low-cut ankle will give your legs length and the fact that this is a shoe boot means that they’ll be super-easy to walk in. Score.

VIVID Heavy Studded Ballets, €37, Topshop:

These ballet flats would look great with a ripped up pair of faded jeans, a white vest and a sharp-cut black jacket. They’ll give an otherwise normal outfit a bit of oomph. We want!

Carvela Grenade Studded Back Peep Toe Shoes, €184.82, ASOS:

Okay, so these beauties are a bit expensive, but they’re Carvela and they’re a total investment piece that you’ll have for years. The spikes and studs on the back are intricate and incredibly detailed and ladies, we don’t even have to tell you how hot that metal heel looks. A work of art or what?

MAVERIQ Heavy Stud Slippers, €42, Topshop:

Nail two trends at once with these studded slippers from Topshop. They’re flat which equals some amazing comfort and you can dress them up with a pair of pencil leg trousers or dress them down with a pair of boyfriend jeans. Versatile and stylish – what more could you want?

Sam Edelman Lorissa Suede Stud Shoe, €170.60, ASOS:

We’re not sure what we love more here – the shocking pink suede, the slight curve of the heel or those amazing, jewellery-like studs. Love, love, love!
