Nude Stilettos: A Wardrobe Staple

 

From lips to pumps, nude is "the new red". We saw them often at the height of 2012's shoe fashion, and we expect the trend to continue. The versatility of nude stilettos is such that you can easily team them up with formal wear, or turn heads with your feet as you get down on the dance floor. Many women believe that, like red, nude is difficult to pull off. However, we are of the opinion that this is absolutely untrue. Like red, you simply need to find the right shade of nude for you!

Tips for Wearing Nude Stilettos

  • If you’re thinking of trying out the nude stilettos trend, we recommend that you try not to overdo the look. Try to steer clear of teaming up flesh toned dresses with nude pumps and then nude makeup. A dash of color would help break the monotone, unless of course you're aiming for a minimalist look.
  • If you are slightly shorter or apple body shaped, nude stilettos can give the illusion of longer legs. High heeled shoes already make your legs appear longer, but the added nude color blends with your skin tone to effectively add in a few “visual inches”.
  • You can wear nude stilettos all year round. 
  • Even though nude complements every color, pastels work especially well, as seen by Kim Kardashian and Eva Longoria in the image below.

  • When wearing short skirts or dresses, make sure that your legs are waxed, polished and well moisturized before you step in a nude pair of stilettos. Since the color blends in with your skin, you’ll notice those little things more. And you’ll feel more comfortable if your legs are looking their best.
  • Nude stilettos are effortlessly stylish and are a must-have in your shoe wardrobe. However, remember, no matter what color your shoes, you should always protect and silence your heels with a pair of Clickless!

Feeling Giddy Over Booties

 We at Clickless have been just a bit giddy lately. No, it's not because the imminent snow is about to fly here in the Mountain West. No, it's not because the next James Bond flick is premiering soon and we'll get to see the newest Bond Girl kicking some ass in stilettos. It's certainly not the fact that floral print suits seem to be making a comeback. And it's not even because Halloween is around the corner, giving us an excuse to rock some crazy fashion and footwear. 

No, it's none of those things. It's the thought of wearing bootie stilettos that has us feeling like Carrie Bradshaw at a Manolo Blahnik sale.

We love the look of booties with stiletto heels and a pair of skinny jeans or even a short skirt if the weather permits. Any way you pair them, there's a certain air of fashion, function, and simple pleasure when it comes to booties. We love them. Do you feel the same? Won't you share your favorite booties with us?

We want to share Clickless with all of our fashionable readers. You can be more comfortable in those booties around the office, hotel, streets and subway longer than without Clickless, and never have to hear that clicking sound. Plus, Clickless protects your bootie heels from everyday wearand tear, including salt (which is naturally corrosive) and concrete, both of which can reduce the lifetime of those beauties by a good bit.

Share some photos of your favorite Fall or Winter booties with us on Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest!

Do You Hate the Sound of High Heels?

Don't you just hate the sound of high heels clicking? There are some sounds that just stick with us, like fingernails on a chalkboard, the grinding of teeth, and the sound of high heels on a hard surface. Even from an early age, we all have memories of this sound. It's the sound of the principal walking down the hallway. It's the sound of a nervous interviewee entering the office, causing all of the employees to look up. It's the sound that, even in carpeted rooms, often just can't be silenced.

We've all heard this menacing sound before. So, what can be done for those of us who love our high heels but hate the disruptive sound they make? Fortunately, Clickless has created a solution that silences the sound of high heels while protecting them at the same time. And the best part is, they're extremely affordable.

The two-part solution consists of an adhesive sole pad and a color-matching heel protector cap. The heel cap comes in three colors (black, neutral and dark brown) and two sizes (x-small and small). Each package consists of two size variations to ensure the most snug and appealing fit for your high heel stiletto. That's four heel protectors and four sole pads, enough for two pairs of stiletto high heels. Clickless is currently available for stiletto heels, and will soon be available for all different types of heels.

Buy a pair of Clickless for Stilettos today, one for yourself, and one for a friend or co-worker. You'll never have to cringe when walking down a hallway, on a concrete sidewalk, or across a tiled floor again.

10 Famous Celebrity High Heel Moments

There are so many memorable fashion moments in history, but how often are we actually remembering the shoes that go along with those moments? We'd like to pay a tribute to a few of the more memorable celebrity high heels in the recent (and not-so-recent) past. If we had the chance, we'd give a pair of Clickless for Stilettos to each one of these women and their fashion coordinators.

How can we forget the famous Carrie Bradshaw wedding dress and accompanying head bird? But did you ever get a look at her shoes as she's running away? Kudos to Sarah Jessica Parker for running in those things with what we're guessing is ten pounds of dress bundled up in her arms.

Whether you prefer the classic or the Charlie's Angels redux of today, there's no denying that the angels have some damned good gams. And, my, what cute shoes they have! We bet a pair of Clickless for Stilettos would help the angels be a little more stealth when they're going undercover... not to mention make them a bit more comfortable when they're kicking some ass. Charlie, call us!  

Slippers of glass. Are you kidding me? They might sound good in theory, but Prince Charming really should consider Cinderella's comfort, safety and the racket she'll be making as she dances all over the ballroom. Try Clickless for Stilettos, 
Mr. Charming! 

Ah, yes. How can we forget one of the most famous fashion films of our generation! We think Andy might have had a better time bustling around New York City in stilettos looking for the Harry Potter manuscript if she'd had a pair of Clickless to protect those pricey accessories.

You better shape up! Sandra Dee sure turned up the "wow" factor in Grease when she slipped on a black leather ensemble with red lipstick and heels to match. We love it as much as Danny Zuko. 

Here's where the famous duo of Richard Gere and Julia Roberts began. There are so many great fashion moments from this film. We have to think if old Vivian had a pair of Clickless as she strolled through the hotel in those boots, she might have attracted fewer looks.

What's not to love about blue hair? It screams "fun", but the shoes scream "sexy". Miss Perry sure loves her fashion, and we're sure there'll be plenty more memorable moments in her future.

Oh, Gaga. You never cease to amaze us. We're not sure how comfortable these stilettos are (hence, she is sitting), but we admit we've seen her wear crazier things. Gaga, we'd send you ten pairs of Clickless for Stilettos on the house if you keep on keepin' on pushing the fashion envelope.

rhianna-marie-claire-stilettos.jpg

This gal looks great in just about anything, and is not afraid to go super tall with her stilettos. Rhianna has had no shortage of memorable fashion moments, but we like this look from her in the December 2010 issue of Marie Claire.

toni-braxton-grammy-shoes.jpg

Toni Braxton sure made headlines at the 2001 Grammy Awards with this little number. It seems she was going with the "less is more" theory, including her shoes. Not many people could pull off a look like this, but somehow the girl made it work! We bet those shoes weren't cheap, either. Toni, if you're reading, you can protect your high heels with a pair of Clickless. Call us, girl!
