# Curvy Corset Stilettos The Proenza Schouler Stitched Sandal By Ryan Hinkson | Published 2010-04-28 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proenza-schouler-stitched-sandal References: [designscene.net](http://www.designscene.net/2010/04/proenza-schouler-stitched-leather.html) & [proenzaschouler](http://www.proenzaschouler.com/shop/) When I think about lacing up a pair of shoes I think about Nikes, Common Projects or even some wingtips--not women's sandals. Not only does the Proenza Schouler stitched sandal lace up but it laces up from the back. There may be tons of [lace-up womens's sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megalaced-mule), but these look different. This corset-influenced heel is anchored by a [6-inch heel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8inch-flipflops) and has a bright yellow leather upper that looks like it is a giant letter 'S' from the side. The Proenza Schouler stitched sandal was designed by Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Lace-up Women's Sandals:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create unique lacing systems or designs for women's sandals to provide a fresh and stylish twist. - **Corset-influenced Heels:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the incorporation of corset elements into heel designs to create visually striking footwear. - **Bright Colored Leather Uppers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with bold and vibrant colored leather uppers for a standout and fashion-forward look. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Footwear Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce innovative designs and materials to revolutionize women's footwear. - **Fashion Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate unconventional elements and techniques to push the boundaries of fashion and footwear design. - **Luxury Goods Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine traditional luxury craftsmanship with unique and unconventional design elements to create high-end, eye-catching products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Balletcore Heeled Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandy-liang-1.md) - [Unique Platform-Style Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals.md) - [Coquette Hybrid Sneaker Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelquantum-360-viii-2.md) - [Spring-Ready Intricately Laced Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megalaced-mule.md) - [Sophisticated Nude Heel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nudes-capsule.md) - [Sleek T-Strap Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tkees-x-jcrew.md) - [Pool Slide Heeled Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipped-flop.md) - [Strapped Technical Mary Janes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rx-marie-jeanne.md) - [Comfort-Forward High Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vida-collection.md)
