2010

Going back over 10 years, one of the most popular footwear trends in 2010 was basketball-style sneakers.

Unsurprisingly, recent versions of similar styles are still very popular today.

2011

The following year saw the start of the wedge craze, particularly during the summer period. This trend was a huge hit for female footwear and the different types, styles, designs gave consumers a very wide choice. They were practical but pretty and many wedge shoes were designed for ultimate comfort and support, and easily capable of transforming any outfit.

2012

The London Olympics back in 2012 had a significant impact on footwear for everyone. Literally, any kind of sporty shoe was trending, sneakers, running shoes, and trainers were all a big hit. There was also a basketball link here, with the release of the late Kobe Bryant range from Nike.

In 2014 there was a great influx of hundreds of different footwear trends. To name a few, popular pairs included many different shades of nude heels, ankle, and knee-high boots to suit every taste.
