If you’re looking for a more modern styled shoe for today’s younger crowd then perhaps BCBG Shoes may have what you crave. Shoes in the BCBG collection are definitely targeted towards a younger hip indie crowd who thrives for attention and Max Azria serves it up best. Take note, this is not your mom’s shoe.
The shoes have a more European style and flair and compliments more chic ensembles than the toned-down everyday appearance. *Most* of the collection does not mesh well with the office conservative wear and is mostly branded for the up-to-the-minute club and bar scene.
Made hot by the Hollywood and NYC Soho crowd but comes across as a very strong shoe that cannot be worn by just anyone. This entire collection stands out and you’ll definitely be noticed and remembered. I must say you either love or hate BCGB shoes; there really isn’t any in between.
What I love about BCBG Shoes:
Young, Fresh and stylish and shows off a lot of attitude.
If you’re looking for that “look at those shoes…I wonder where she got those from?” then BCBG brand will be perfect for you.
What I don’t like about BCBG Shoes:
Very little bright colors infused in the whole collection (the 2010 Paris collection offers a few colorful additions). Sure, Black, Tan and Grey will go with anything but I want a lot more spice in my closet.
The majority of shoes have that funky toned-up vibe leaving me ready to party. Not sure if that’s bad or good?
The Favorite Picks out of All BCBG Shoes:
Women’s Lark 1 Pump in Azalea Pink; it’s a rare find in a collection or neutral colors but after searching and searching I found this beautiful pink color that just popped! Can you imagine wearing this out at night?
The Colly Bootie in Black – a shoe-bootie that has fabulous feminine feel made just for the contemporary woman. Can be paired perfectly with a pantsuit or a cute little black dress.
But like I said, these shoes are targeted towards a certain kind of woman. Now I don’t believe you can give a good review just by looking at a shoe; you’ve got to go out and wear it, so I did;
The few BCBG shoes that I tried out were cut very narrow so it won’t fit just any foot. If you usually wear a size 7, get a size 7.5; As soon as I tried on the shoe all eyes were on my feet. It really has a magnetism all its own. I can’t imagine how one would feel wearing these shoes to an event – it would be the thing to talk about all night; “where did you get them”; “how much did they cost”;
Does anyone ever inquire about how a shoe feels? Or does it really matter?
