Put a little "Spring" in your step

Ok so maybe we are still a couple of months away from spring time, but it doesn't hurt to get a head start on a great pair of kicks for the warmer weather. Sneakers, loafers, oxfords, and chukkas, don't be afraid to switch things up, variety is key this spring. So take a minute to forget about the frigid temperatures, and warm up with the idea of some new shoes.

That's right, chukkas are not just for fall and winter. Chukkas in the spring are all about the material. You don't want a shoe thats too heavy when the temperature starts to rise, so think canvas. With canvas you get a breathable shoe, with a timeless feel. Spring is also a good time to break away from those neutral colors, and explore the rest of the color wheel without being obnoxious.

Did I mention canvas was a great material for spring? Well don't be surprised that were keeping the trend rolling with these great finds at Urban Outfitters. As the temp rises, lose the heavy socks and go for a low cut shoe that shows some ankle. Plus the variety of colors gives these simple shoes a more personalized feel.

I love them, you love them, yes I'm talking about sneakers. Forget about those raggedy gym shoes you wear to workout, and take the leap into some truly fashionable footwear. Spring is the perfect time of the year to bust out a new pair of sneakers and give your boots a little rest. The key with picking the right sneaker, is to make sure you don't look like the 16 year old neighbor boy, but also not to look like you shop at Brooks Brothers. And remember even though the price of some of these shoes are pretty high, you're not a kid anymore and should be able to take care of your footwear.
