Posted: July 21, 2010 at 12:01 am by

It feels like the warm weather has barely gotten started, yet summer vacation is already half over! It’s almost time to stock up on school supplies, shop for new dorm room necessities and add to your closet with back to school fashions. Let us help you go back to school in style this year with our newest contest! One lucky winner will receive a back to school essentials kit consisting of two pairs of shoes and a bag or backpack from ShoeMall.com – winner’s choice!*

We will be putting up a new blog post every Wednesday morning at TheShoeDiaries.com for the next few weeks. The blog post will contain a question about back to school fashion or fall fun. Simply leave a comment on that blog post answering that week’s question for an entry in the contest. You can only earn one (1) entry per blog post, but we will be putting up four different posts so check back for more entries! Be sure to include a valid email address when prompted as you submit your comment. This will not be published, but will be used to contact you if you win!

This week’s question is:

What do you think will be a big shoe fashion trend this fall? Are you shooting down the shootie and nurturing the knee high boots? Digging the distressed look or planning for platforms? Something else? Let us know what you think will be on everyone’s feet this fall in the comments below.

Example: I think shoes with extra details like buttons and ruffles will be the biggest trend this fall.

Robyn Kinne (00:34:05) :

Going back to school one would require some new hot sexy but comfy heels, or some sexy boots.
Getting new shoes was always my favorite part of going back to school shopping.

Alesia Mgboh (07:38:30) :

Platforms are making the way back to the scene. They are functionable with every look. They can be dressy,casual or fun. They allow a person to walk with confidence something that is lacking in today’s youth. They are more than an accent to an outfit. They complete the statement the is being portrayed by the wearer.

Suburban Prep (07:51:26) :

I think that shoes with a wedge and heel and those in shade of dark purple and grey will be a rage.

21 07 2010
Jodi Kozloff (08:55:54) :

Hoping for comfort ..but stylish boots.

21 07 2010
Rebecca Jahnke (09:02:06) :

I think the shooties will still be in fashion, there are many cute ones!

21 07 2010
Brenda R (09:07:38) :

I honestly think the knee high boot will stay in play – soft leathers and minimal details are what hope would be in style.

21 07 2010
Jane (09:27:25) :

I think stylish sneakers in many colors will be a hit.

21 07 2010
Cindy Walston (11:35:46) :

I love the Ros Hommerson Women’s Urban Pump. This is a classic bootie that can really dress up a pair a jeans. It’s the new updated look of the oxford. And @ this price (Wow) you can leave those sneakers @ home!!

21 07 2010
Miranda (12:35:43) :

I believe the wedge bootie will be the biggest trendsetter this fall.

21 07 2010
Senquaesha Parks (13:41:05) :

Flats will definetly be in style . They’re comfortable , trendy , and all around best shoes . At an affordable price and style .

21 07 2010
T (14:40:45) :

I think embellishment will be big this year in both shoes and boots.

21 07 2010
Katie (17:28:59) :

my daughter is 6 and going into 1st grade and she and all her little friends are saying that the Twinkle Toes are what is in and that is what they all want for school

22 07 2010
Sherri Jones (09:14:02) :

Actually looking for some rain boots.

Lilia (09:26:39) :

Platforms…. can’t wait to go back in time … used to love them back then and look forward to them again!!

22 07 2010
Adrienne (14:26:38) :

Comfortable but Sexy are the way to go!

Love the Madden Razcal Shootie – would look great with everyday skinny jeans!

23 07 2010
FaithJ (14:06:06) :

I think this Fall we’ll see a lot more open-toe booties with high platforms. Also I think we’ll see pointy toed heels.

Thanks for the chance to win this amazing contest!

24 07 2010
Jane (11:03:55) :

I think knee high boots will be the “in” item..

26 07 2010
Rhonda (11:36:04) :

Shoes with lots of glitter and fun colors are sure to sparkle up your back to school fashion this fall season.

26 07 2010
chris swan (13:30:52) :

I would love some croc comfy boots with wild colors. I don’t really like platforms tho.

26 07 2010
jay (14:12:00) :

no idea what the “in” trend will be, but I bet it’s flip flops here for at least another couple months!

26 07 2010
Amy W (15:51:18) :

I think style boots will be way in this school year. Fancy ones with designs all over them!

26 07 2010
Ellen (16:01:40) :

I honestly think it will be tennis shoes until winter hits and then some kind of vegan type boots. Although the high heeled boots are in style, they look terribly uncomfortable, so I think the kids will get smart and go ‘green’ while being comfortable! So my guess is vegan, plainish and eco friendly materials.

27 07 2010
TRISHA (19:20:35) :

I THINK THAT THE FLATS ARE GONNA BE A BIG ONE THIS FALL!!!

Kelly Ann T. (13:30:31) :

I will be wearing my flip flops and wedgie sandals for as long as I can. For the fall, I would like some ankle boots, kneehighs are just too hot for me.

7 08 2010
Joanne Schultz (15:48:29) :

I’ve been seeing a lot of heeled ankle boots this summer, so I expect that trend will continue into the fall.
