You can't wear jandals all summer. Most of the time, sure. But when it's time to find footwear to match the Christmas Party dresses there's plenty of high styles to keep you well-heeled all season.
Anyone who has been shoe shopping in the past few weeks will have noticed we're going
Dutch, with clogs the most obvious fashion choice.
Although, for accuracy's sake, the clogs in fashion are apparently the Swedish version of the wooden-heel shoe.
Love them or hate them, the style has already filtered down into chain stores so you can try them on for size without worrying about leaving yourself short-changed for more shoe shopping.
Wedges, which were big over winter, are also continuing to be popular for the warmer months.
They are perfect really - they give you the height to show off leg-baring short shorts and high hems, but are much comfier than stilettos.
And summer, after all, is all about comfort.
Summer booties are perhaps one of the more perplexing summer footwear trends.
They don't look like they'd be much fun when the mercury hits the high 20s but by evening, they'll be the hottest thing on your mind.
Kiwi shoe designer Kathryn Wilson's open-toe, lace-up versions are drool worthy.
Her suede wedges and platform-front styles are other style winners in a spring/summer collection influence by the 1950s.
Those who prefer the soles of their feet closer to terra firma though will find plenty of sandals that have been given the bejewelled treatment and jandal styles that extend with leg-wrapping fabric.
