Time to jazz up your blah, boring outfits? Why not add a few pairs of animal-print shoes to your closet? While there are plenty of prints to choose from, most fashionable women (and men too) will swear by the classic black-and-white stripes of zebra shoes.
Zebra print shoes, like many animal prints, have become a fashion mainstay in flats, pumps, slippers and even sneakers. Those kicky African equines bring out the untamed side in shoe designers as much as anyone else. Take a look online at the variety of shoes available in zebra print and you will see that they come in styles that range from the merely fabulous to the truly outrageous. You’ll never find a ho-hum pair!
Check out Amazon.com for some fanciful and fabulous styles in zebra shoes. You’ll find pages upon pages of options for women, children and men as well.
Zebra Sneakers for Children
Let’s start with the kiddies. You’d be hard put to find a youngster alive who could resist Converse’s classic athletic shoe, the All Star Chuck Taylor. Now the kids can get their “Chucks” as zebra shoes for about $38. These sneakers have all the style of classic Chuck Taylors, but zipped up with zebra stripes for some chic.
For the blossoming diva, there’s One Ruby Lane’s Toddler Girls Zebra Print Rhinestone Sneakers for $45. She’ll be the talk of the play date showing up in these high tops, available in kids’ sizes 5-10, with a side zipper and rhinestones on the toes and the heels as well as those eye-catching zebra stripes.
Running in the Rain with Zebra Boots
Interestingly, women’s rain boots are one of the most popular styles for zebra print shoes. The best part about these is that you do not have to wear your zebra rain boots only when it it’s raining. They’d never look out of place any time of the year!
Instead of the traditional black-and-white, Target pairs black zebra stripes with silver background in their Women’s Zebra Rain Boots. There are also Target versions in “Hello Kitty” or tropical flowers decorating the zebra prints, all running around $25 each.
As if animal print shoes weren’t noticeable enough, some designers use styles and colors to heighten the “wow” factor. Dirty Laundry’s zebra print rain boots flash neon green around its stripes top an ash grey background for around $45.
Meanwhile, Nature went out West for the inspiration for its Black & White Animal Cowboy Rain Boots in zebra print for around $40. That’s style and economy in one neat package!
