Gresham Outlook, Tues. March 30, 1982, Sandy Post, Thurs., April I, 1982 — 15 A ll shoes seem to be in style Toes' are in fo r w om en w h ile penny loafers w in w ith men . by JAN COOLEY for The Outlook High heels or low, in every color of the rainbow, spring shoes in jute, leather or fabric have broken out of the mold. “ There’s no such thing as a trend in shoes right now," says Nick Smit of Callahan’s "F o r spirng, everything is in ." Women’s shoes come in styles to fit every taste Fashionable heels include two to four inch spikes, two to four inch wedgies and flats. Probably the only thing a woman needs to consider is what goes best with the length of her skirt or pants and what look she wants to achieve. Candice Brusse of Sassy Lade says, ‘‘The one big fashion statement is your shoes If you're going to make a fashion statement, make sure you carry it through from head to toe. Toes, by the way, are in style. Sandal and open toed dress shoes enjoy year round popularity but are especially big in spring “People don’t care about the rain here," says Helen Phoenix of W R Hicks Co. In fact, she says slip-on Cherokees with nylon, pretzel twist uppers “are the hottest thing we’ve had in years." Ankle straps are another look for spring along with other more feminine styles Kick Stone of Gordon Stone’s Key to Fashion savs shoes are heading away from the "clunky, heavy styles to a fresher, lighter, softer idea." Colors, from the season's red, whhite and blue wave to vibrant yellows, oranges and lavenders are a change from the earthy tones that have dominated shoe fashions. Even men’s casual shoes are beginning to reflect the trend. "F o r spring we’re seeing a lot of canvas and jute in lighter colors," says Stone. Because of that. "Y o u ’re going to see men's shoes," he adds. For a dressier casual look, spring offers penny loafers for men Tan, which can be worn with either black or brown, provides a versatile basic color Children’s shoes are changing, too Jim McAllister of M cAllisters’ Shoes for Juniors says, "Tennis shoes are changing from run ning to court shoes Deck shoes are coming in ." Another new canvas style is the van, a slip-on tennis shoe T-strap cloth shoes in pink, blue and lavender with hearts decorating the sides are just the thing for little girls. Probably the biggest hit of the season w ill be the Strawberry Shortcake shoe "They put Strawberry Shortcake on a neat, durable canvas shoe that w ill hold up." says McAllister arc fix Association fo r R etarded Citizens W HEN YOU CIVE HELP YOU CIVE HOPE. 1M 1 Association tor H sta’ded C itu s n * of the United S tate * I>ebi Everton of Callahan’s Shoes is surrounded by spring footwear. Resale shops can prove to be a bargain for some people Everyone loves a bar gain. And on that premise the nation’s second-time- around c lo th in g shops came into popularity some 40 years ago Depending on the na tions economy the resale stores have either flour ished or become alley hide aways since that time. Today there are more women’s resale clothing shops springing up across the country than at any time in history While the actual count is difficult to ascertain because many are not listed, it’s estimat ed that there is one recycle clothing store for every 10 regular retail outlets in every major city. “Fancy names — both designers and first-tim e wearers — are the key to this fun business,’’ says Laura Davis, an East Coait executive who has pur chased a West Coast resale shop "for future re tire m ent” ’ At first I felt strange in the gowns, just knowing someone else had worn them — even though they looked brand new. But after I learned that many Hollywood and Broadway stars shopped in the resale shops — Barbra Streisand had openly bragged about her resale shopping sprees — I forgot my doubts and any embarrassment and enjoyed the good looks and the low prices.” Davis says today's resale shops also have new sam ple clothes from design houses in Los Angeles and New York. One problem with the resale shops is finding the right size Most have small sizes from S to 8 or larger sizes from 14 to 20 but have few 10s and 12s in designer clothes longer than the first week.
