Put a spring in your step this season with emotion

1st March 2008
This season’s fashion colours are bound to put a spring in anyone’s step. From the catwalk to the High Street, dresses and separates are in shades ranging from vibrant fuchsia pink and ultramarine, to glamorous metallics, subtle nude tones, and the classic combination of black and white.

But finding the shoes to match your new spring outfit could be a problem, especially if you are one of the many women who have wider feet.

Emotion, the UK’s leading designer of wider fitting fashionable footwear for women, has a range of shoes, all in this season’s trendy colours, so anyone can be a follower of fashion.

You can be in the pink with Mitzy, an elegant, bow court shoe with fine punch detailing around the top edge, which comes in hot pink suede. It comes in an E fitting and in sizes 3 to 10. Recommended retail price is £50.

If you are going for those glamorous metallics, then look at Emotion’s Hope – a 1920s inspired beautiful bead and sequin embellished slingback with an ankle strap. You can choose from shimmering magenta, sparkling teal or ivory; and there is a handbag to match every shade. Hope is made in an EEE fitting, and sizes range from 4 to 10. It retails at £35. The matching bags sell for £20

You can also combine the new nude tones with the metallic look with Hazel. This comes in bronze or natural satin, and has sequin and beading detail that creates a truly glamorous evening look on a very practical kitten heel. Priced at around £35, it is available in sizes 4 to 10 and in an EEE fitting. It too has a matching handbag, priced at £20

For that daytime subtle nude tone, there is Melody, en elegant leather slingback court shoe, with matching cross trim and back strap buckle adjustment. Melody comes in an E fit, with sizes 3 to 10 and is priced at £50.

If you want more of a classic look to your summer wardrobe, then go for black and white. Look for Nissa from Emotion, a rouched peep-toe sling back in black with white piping. Made of beautiful soft leather, this elegant shoe will work equally well for day or evening wearing. Available in an EEE fitting and sizes 3 to 10, it is priced at around £45.

Note to editors

Emotion Shoes is a UK company that creates fashionable women’s shoes and boots in styles that are designed specifically for the wider fitting foot and calf. Instead of simply adding extra leather on top of a sole designed for a narrow foot, Emotion ensures each sole unit in the collection is designed specifically for a wider foot and is up to 10mm wider than a standard fitting shoe. This allows the foot to sit comfortably and be supported and also allows Emotion to create beautiful designs from pointed toe high heel court shoes to casual pumps which look feminine and stylish. The calves of boots are 2 to 3 cm wider on an E width fitting, and 8 cm wider on EEE width.

Emotion’s product range offers more than just fashion and comfort. There is medical evidence to suggest that wearing shoes that are too tight or ill-fitting, can cause or provoke conditions such as bunions or Morton’s Neuroma. In many cases, these conditions can be prevented by simply wearing properly fitting shoes.

On its website, www.emotionshoes.co.uk Emotion Shoes provides a guide to checking foot size, a list of stockists by region, a downloadable catalogue and the facility to shop online.
