Don't be intimidated by their over-the-top appearance. Shoes
completely embellished with studs or spikes do not have to be solely categorized
as grandiose footwear. The currently trendy, heel-less shoes, covered entirely
with studs or spikes should be paired with a garment that is classic yet trendy,
such as a high-low dress, to soften their undeniable in-your-face impact.
Accompanying stud-or spike-embellished heel-less shoes, with the femininity of a
high-low dress, will gently tone down the toughness of these shoes while
the high, front hemline of the dress will ensure the shoes receive the attention they deserve.

Alternative garments to pair with studded or spiked heel-less shoes are a pair
of shorts in a soft fabric such as silk or lace, an upscale T-shirt,
tank or a romper-play-suit. The shoe will remain in the limelight, as it
deserves, while being added as an accoutrement to classic wardrobe
pieces. If the selected romper-play suit does not have a belt, add a belt
to the waist to enhance an hourglass figure or to create a waistline if
you have a slimmer figure.

Stud- or spike-embellished shoes can be seamlessly paired with office attire if
the studs are used more as trimming on the shoes or on a single part of
the shoes. An a-line skirt, flattering to most types of figures, matched with a
blouse can look superb with stud-embellished shoes. Refrain from pairing the shoes with a skirt and blouse that is overly-embellished. Keep either the
skirt or blouse simple. Excessive embellishment on your garments along
with the stud- or spike-embellished shoes can be overpowering. It is recommended that you save shoes entirely embellished with studs or spikes for
non-business attire if you do not work in an industry that permits more
trendy attire to be worn in the office.
