The Faith gold shoes we loved are almost all gone, but the delicate silver diamante sandals called Larkle in sizes 3, 4, 5 7 and 8 are for sale through Debenhams, while supplies last, for just £26. The dressy shoes that were great for both office and play, like the Trish peeptoe sandals, are still available in white and black for £24, but only in sizes 5 and 6, and the funky court shoes, named Cye, in pink are offered for £28 in shoes sizes 3 to 7 only.

By the way, if you haven’t already heard, Topshop Shoes no longer carries any of the faith footwear collections, not since 2003. But what’s happened to all the womens shoe shops that were owned and operated directly by the Faith brand? Are they all gone? Unfortunately yes. Even their online shoe shop has vanished. Here’s the story:

In April of this year (2010), Faith Shoe Group Limited closed all its 70 stores, leaving only a few concessions operational. Online footwear sales also came to a close through the main company. There are now only a few places where the last bit of inventory is being sold. Not even the large shoes co uk has any items left. About the only happy story to go with the demise of Faith is the opening of Hope. What? Well, when the Faith Store at the Meadows Shopping Centre, Chelmsford, closed, hopeful manager Justina Pay took advantage of the opportunity to open her own shop, naming it Hope. Although the line of ladies shoes and sandals offered at the newly re-opened shop are not the same as before, and have nothing to do with the original line of Faith shoes footwear collections or the company, it is reporting good sales. Here’s a video of the opening:

Are There Still Faith Collections Sold Through Topshop Shoes?

Unfortunately the answer to that is NO. What happened?

Similar to what happened to the well-loved Ravel Shoes who began in 1934 and who closed their doors in 2007, Faith was likewise a UK company that had massive success with their affordable trendy women’s high heel shoes since the mid 1960’s.

Also due to their affiliation with Top Shop and Debenhams in the 1990’s, the Faith brand was readily available at shops and concessions throughout the UK. However with the end of the TopShop contract in 2003, and with the only remaining shoe shop being the one at Oxford Circus, Faith was forced to open their own brand name shops.

Only a year later there were around 80 shops and more concessions, which employed over 1700 people across the UK, as well as abroad, and also the division that sold shoes online and the mail-order side of the business, but it was unable to remain afloat.

On April 22, 2010, faith footwear ceased to exist, although concessions and a few online outlets have continued to sell their last remaining remnants of inventory.

The loss of this brand of womens footwear will be felt by women around the world who loved the chic, contemporary designs that were not only stylish for eveningwear (like the many popular Faith gold shoes collections) and the shoes party girls could strut in, but the comfortable yet sassy office shoes that had support and the perfect height of heel.

So as we say goodbye to Faith Footwear with a sad glance at the styles we loved, we are now forced to look for other collections.

We offer some suggestions in posts about High Heel Shoes, Designer Shoe creations that are affordable, Ladies Wedge Sandals that can be worn for day and evening events, comfortable Flat Shoes that are still stylish, and even Prom Shoes in gold and silver to match contemporary cocktail and evening dresses. By the way, if you’re still reeling over the previous demise of Ravel Shoes, you can get some suggestions on where to buy some of the older styles and where to find collections under the Clark label as well as suggestions for high shoes and flats that are similar to what Ravel used to craft.

Top brand name womens high heel shoes; stiletto; platform, high heel bridal shoes, sexy and strappy high heels for prom, weddings, eveningwear or daywear; leather and satin high heel shoes by Carlos Santana, Martinez Valero and other affordable designers; the best discount high heel shoes available online, easy to browse, quick to order and with international delivery – that’s what we’re excited about this week. Yes, we adore wedge sandals, shoes and boots, but we also know a thing or two about hot red high heel shoes, and about finding some of the sexiest designs your feet can desire.

Martinez Valero Pumps and High Heel Sandals

The classic high heel pump will never go out of style. It’s elegant yet sexy, ideal with pantsuits, semi formal dresses, evening gowns and even a way to give a touch of class to more casual outfits, including office suits and skirts. The Martinez Valero collections are designer heels at affordable prices. For example the Zenith pump in white, blue or black satin costs just under $140. Shop at Heels online and have them delivered right to your door.

Martinez Valero collections are not just about classic pumps. The designer has some of the trendiest sandals that have recently graced the spring and summer runways, like the ones with feathers about the ankle, called the Carla – and they retail for under $180. The hottest colors this season, like teal and unusual shades of blue, lend themselves well to the peacock feathers, yet the sandal itself is simple, uncluttered and delicately feminine. High heeled shoes that look like they have just come off the runway and cost less than $300 are not so easy to find, but with Martinez Valero you get the best of designer trends and discount pricing.

Carlos By Carlos Santana, Sexy High Heel Shoes Online

Some of the best ladies high heel shoes available for a reasonable price, yet are very sexy, are the Carlos Santana collections. From basic pumps and strappy high heel shoes and sandals to stilettos with an edge. From $55 to just under $100, you can get gorgeous animal print, leather, faux patent leather or silver or gold high heel shoes to accent almost any outfit. Heels.com has one of the most comprehensive selections of pumps, ankle strap high heels, sandals and even platforms, from hot new trends to retro styles in blue, yellow and even funky fuchsia patterns. The collection includes pairs with names like Pleasure, Prestige, Believe, Chula, Chica and Roulette, Privilege and Satisfaction.

The All Season Chica

One good pair of women’s high heel shoes that is functional during all seasons is the Chica, which retails for under $80 and is a pump- boot-sandal with peep-toe that can crossover from daywear into evening and from spring to summer and even winter.

Retro Heels

Another great buy is the Carlos Santana Cinnabar T-strap, which comes in black and is a cross between a heel and a wedge, somewhat retro platform but with delicate lace decoration down the center T, and a feminine set of straps to hold your foot in place without weighing down the design. It’s a versatile and comfy high heel shoe that can go with jeans or skirts, from your day job to night clubbing or dancing salsa.

Feminine Prom and Wedding Styles in Platinum and Silver

Despite the name of the next item, Turbulence, it is a delicate pair of high heel sandal shoes that is ideal for prom or even a wedding. With platinum or an old silver finish and delicate straps, the sandal will be a lovely final touch for a sassy prom dress or bridal gown or even a bridesmaid dress. It is also a Carlos Santana creation, and is likewise available through Heels.com, and costs just over $70.

For many other designer styles, fancy high heels at discount prices, shop at Heels.com and save on brand name footwear.

If you’ve been looking for the latest ballet flats shoes then you should try the sensational pair of comfortable ones made by Cole Haan in the Women’s Air collection, especially the delicate slipper called the Bacara Ballet Flat that retails for just over $130 and is available online through Endless.

Another fabulous new flat shoe, for the ladies who don’t go for heels but want a little sparkle and dazzle with rhinestone studded gems, is the sexy little pair of Boutique 9 wedges sandals that are named Glory and are sold directly through Bloomingdales online for just $120. These dazzling studded flat sandals are ideal for the beach or for evenings out after a day of sun and sand. They are all suede with a light rubber lining and a rubber sole for good grip, a full zip closure at the back of the sandal and are available in a wide range of full and half sizes.

The top designer ladies flat shoes that have come off the runways and have now hit the streets, are the slightly expensive Costume National sandals that retail at Bloomingdales for about $540 and are flat peep-toe sandals with a sexy fold-over cuff and a comfy T strap for security. They are leather all the way…the upper, the lining, and the sole.

This summer, you can’t be without a pair of white flat shoes like the Proenza Schouler ballet style flats that are elegant and top quality at just over $650, called the Perch ballet flat, or the more affordable, yet still stylish, AK Anne Klein designs that are called the Women’s Buttons and cost under $70.

The two-tone fats are ideal for office with a suite or a simple summer dress…casual, fun and summer playful yet serious enough for a work environment. These last pair of versatile women flat shoes come in solid black as well, fun summer colors, black and white and even leopard and zebra and other animal prints. The Buttons Collection in the Anne Klein affordable line of footwear is really a bargain. They are women’s flat shoes with great style and at prices every lady can afford.

The top cute flat shoes that are hot, hot, hot for young girls and teens are the ones by Steve Madden or the funky Juicy rose design flat or the more serious leather flat shoes that can be worn on vacation or back to school like the Madison Harding designs or the ubber cute little CL by Chinese Laundry, that’s a funky little plaid for under $50.

Really casual flat shoes versus dress flat shoes may not be all that different since both styles are made for comfort and without a high heel the two styles tend crossover a lot. One pair that is a perfect example of casual yet dressy is the Tory Burch Canvas Flat that looks really funky and yet is affordable at under $100 through Nordstrom. These trendy flat shoes come in red and green and white and navy…..great for boating or beach days and for casual dinners or shopping and sightseeing. Casual dressy…..clean and crisp.

The fun satin flats by Kate Spade are the ones called Natalia and are the perfect wedding shoes…..comfy yet elegant and affordable at under $300 through Nordstrom Online. The other ladies shoes that are ideal for weddings or garden parties are the Miss Me Women’s Lacey-12 Flower designs that come in every color you need for summer fun or fancy dancing. For between $26 and $30, you really can’t go too wrong.

The latest trendy flat shoes are all available online, often for much better prices than buying in shops. You can usually buy flat shoes for between $20 and $100 in basic designs like ballets and sandals with small wedges, or get designer brands for between $200 to $600, often still being a savings over what retail outlets charge. Have fun and be comfy this summer with flat shoes that are sexy, stylish, practical and colorful!

Ravel shoes UK – The newest Ravel ladies shoes, now made by Clarks, available in sexy high heels, t-straps, pumps, sandals and ballerina flats staring at $30. For Ravel shoes online, look no further – we have great prices and the latest designs with free mainland UK delivery on orders over £50. Use Ravel shoes UK discount codes.

If you’re wondering what’s happened to the Ravel footwear company and their trendy, sassy, sexy high heel shoes and boots, we sadly inform you that they merged with Clarks a couple years ago and so some of the funky designs that were so fun and affordable are no longer available.

The transition has hit the mens Ravel shoes the hardest, since it’s almost impossible to get those fabulous mens leather buckle shoes, but the good news is that Clarks has retained the Ravel brand and does have new collections of Ravel ladies shoes that, although not quite as fab as previously, are similarly sexy and sassy with the square heels and t-straps and pumps being almost as trendy and colorful as previously.

Clarks has added some flats and boots that are in keeping with their Clarky style, but the difference between the rather plain comfortable footwear, which Clarks is known for, and the Ravel line, is still noticeable in the womens footwear collections that came out for 2010. And, thankfully, the prices are still affordable, in the £50 to £80. They’ve also added some ballerina slippers and mules that are flat or have wedge heels and are comfy, and these are priced at around £30.

So the Clarks Ravel collection now consists of trendy high heels and pumps for work and party, casual weekend wear and a few pieces of more formal, dress shoes.

The main categories are the famous sexy pumps with peep toes, strappy sandals with the popular center t-straps (and yes, there still are the silver and gold designs, as well as red shoes and purple and hot pink pumps), flats and ballerinas that are comfortable and affordable, and the sexy and stylish collection of leather boots that start at around £80.

If you want a pair of vintage Ravel shoes, you’ll have to check out eBay and other second hand Ravel shoe shops online or vintage and retro shops in your neighborhood.

Yes, Ravel are now becoming collector’s items. But if you want the newest designs, you can shop with us and get the latest creations. Ravel shoe shops don’t exist, so the best place to shop is online. Here are some of the products you can order quickly and get free delivery within the UK.

Leather Ravel Ladies Shoes

One of the versatile designs is named Coleen, and it’s practical for work or evening. It’s classified a court shoe and comes in cream with a black front strap detail. The price will depend if you can find a Ravel shoe sale, but they are regularly priced at £70.

The classic straps and thick square heel have remained on the Ravel Corina deign that comes in red and gray and is practical for a pair of heels that won’t let your foot slide too far forward. With the two straps, one around the ankle and another lower down, your foot is secure even with the higher heel. Also, the square heel is fabulous for not getting the heel stuck in cracks or sidewalk grids, which sometimes happens with the slender heels and stilettos. Again this shoe is regularly priced at around £70, but can be found on sale for less.

The closed Ravel Braith is one of those shoes that a woman can wear to the office or out on the town. With the two tone cram and black patent leather it goes well with pant suits or dresses. These classics retail for about £60. Again, we love the heel, it’s high but comfy being square, and we love the double strap that keeps the foot feeling snug. Many of the ravel designs are ideal dance shoes since they give the leg that sexy look but still offer good support and lots of straps.

One of the new collection of Ravel footwear includes an ankle boot that’s a good all year addition to any wardrobe. It’s sexy for wearing with slacks and pant suits even in spring and summer, and solid enough to keep you snug in winter. It’s the Ravel Dalton Ladies Boot, with patent leather and a sculpted ankle line that makes it elegant. This can be worn with dresses or long skirt just as easily a jeans. It’s a good buy because even at regular price it’s under £50. For an all season womens boot, you won’t find something so stylish and practical. It’s only real drawback is that the heel is narrow at the base. Many women prefer a wider heel on their boot.

For about £90 you could choose the Ravel Buffy, which is a ladies wedge boot. It’s a practical and comfy item, but not too sexy. Ravel has a few other boots, but they’re nothing special. We believe that where this brand still shines is in it’s trendy heels that are square and colorful.

Ravel Bridal Shoes

Ravel bridal shoes are no longer a separate collection like before.

The Clarks Ravel collection offers pairs that are still fabulous wedding footwear, but they are not sold as such any more.

If you loved the Cocoa or the Refine peep toe style or the really affordable and sexy Comic design with the ankle strap, you’ll probably like the newer Ravel Cindy, the Ciara, or the Cassidy.

Most of them are retailing for about £70, but there are some specials on certain items for as little as £25 or £30, bringing them down to what we all expect from Ravel.

How to Buy Ladies Shoes Online

The biggest reason ladies tend to shy away from buying their shoes online is because they fear getting the wrong size or a fit that isn’t what they expect.

But there are two things that can ease these problems, and both are available at Heels.Com. One is a very precise Shoe Fitting Guide that tabulates all the shoe sizes from the US, Europe, the UK, Australia, Japan and even Mexico and gives a detailed description of which size you need based on inches and centimeters.

All you need to do to find out what a ladies shoes size 12 (or size 9 ladies shoes or any other size) in the US equals in another country or vice versa is to take a ruler and a pencil and piece of paper. Then you need to stand on the paper, with your weight slightly forward, and draw a line behind your heel and a second one in front of your big toe. You may find one foot is longer than the other, that’s okay, and is quite normal. Now, all you have to do is measure the span between the two lines you’ve drawn and then check the chart. It will tell you your size based on the shoes for sale at Heels.Com.

If your measurement in inches or centimeters is between one of the exact measurements offered on the chart, it’s good to round up to get a nice comfy fit. Do this little exercise even if you know your size just to avoid any discrepancies.

The other thing that can make shopping for ladies shoes online a little easier is knowing that you have 90 days to return them, and in the case of needing to return an item bought at Heels.Com, you don’t even pay to send the return. It’s all free. Just print their pre-paid USPS shipping label and return it.
