# Crystallized Mesh Stilettos Watered Down Retail Versions of Viktor and Rolf S/S 2010 Shoes By Marissa Liu | Published 2009-12-04 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viktor-and-rolf-spring-summer-2010-shoes References: [obsessedwithshoes](http://obsessedwithshoes.com/post/Viktor-Rolf-Shoes-SpringSummer-2010.aspx) & [viktor-rolf](http://www.viktor-rolf.com/_en/_ww/index.htm) As far as designer footwear is concerned what we see on the runway rarely appears in stores. Such is the case with the [Viktor and Rolf](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viktorrolf-x-disney) Spring/Summer 2010 shoes. The sky-high floral boots and [studded, mesh-covered pumps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystalstudded-clogs) have been transformed into ruffly, [floral sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-society) and mesh peep-toe booties and boots. The two-toned zipper bootie we coveted has been turned into a feminine wedge sandal. As much as I like the collection, I can’t help but wish that more of what we saw on the runway would be available to us come Spring. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Designer Footwear:** Opportunity for designers to create runway-inspired footwear that is readily available in stores. - **Transformation of Runway Designs:** Opportunity to adapt high-fashion runway designs into more accessible and wearable retail versions. - **Feminine Wedge Sandals:** Opportunity to create trendy wedge sandals with feminine design elements. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Design:** Opportunity for fashion designers to bridge the gap between runway styles and retail offerings. - **Footwear Manufacturing:** Opportunity to produce and distribute fashionable footwear that incorporates elements from high-fashion runways. - **Retail Fashion:** Opportunity for retailers to carry trend-setting footwear, providing customers with runway-inspired options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fragrance-Integrated Fashion Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-crystal.md) - [Seasonally Appropriate Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petals-pearls.md) - [Illusory Doll-Like Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-boots.md) - [Textured Floral Design Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-society.md) - [Limited-Edition Crystal Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuart-weitzman-x-swarovski.md) - [Department Store-Exclusive Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cappa-blade-starsway.md) - [Collaborative Statement Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystalstudded-clogs.md) - [Bird Feather-Inspired Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-boots.md) - [Crystal-Encrusted Stealthy Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-moonlight.md)
