Spring means a wardrobe update and we all know what that means. New shoes! It's time for boots to be packed away for good. With warmth no longer a consideration, it's the season for sandals and stilettos.

Of course, it's not just the show styles that come back into vogue – colour is a vital part of shoes this season.

Prints reign as this season's runaway inspired trend. Printed shoes used to be an exception, but now you can expect to find patterns and prints on everything from gladiator sandals to wedges, and the variety is stunning. Mixed prints are the ultimate way to rock the look – watch out for animal and nautical prints to combine for a different take on wild sophistication.

Neon is a must-have for your feet this season – whether it's on a blazing pair of luminous loafers, or as trim on five inch high peep toe heels. Neon heel trim is a hot and fun take on the Christian Louboutin trend.

If you're looking for something simple and comfortable to wear this season, pep up classic pumps by wearing loafers instead. Rounded loafers combine a slight Oriental influence with masculine inspired chic for a style that's versatile, ultra-comfortable and right on trend.

Colour-blocking may have exploded as a clothing trend, but this season it's making its strongest appearance as a shoe style. Go bold with bright colours, or blended pastels.

When it comes to texture, satin and velvet textures are the smooth finishes to be looking out for this season.
