Top Gray Shoes for Women

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

Gray shoes are a natural with pastel colors, but they also look fab with whites, blacks, blues and purples. Here are a few of this season's hottest gray shoes for women.

1. Jessica Simpson "Josette" - Sexy Gray Shoes

These shoes are so hot, I'd love them in any color -- but they especially shine with gray croc-embossed uppers. With heels of nearly 4 inches, and a cut-away side, these shoes will add a sexy touch to business wear, without being over the top.

2. Carlos by Carlos Santana "Starlet" - Dynamic Gray Shoes

One of the must-see shoes of the season, these sexy and unique heels from Carlos Santana combine glossy patent leather with lush suede. Featuring 3.75" tapered heels and open-toed mary jane styling, these shoes will steal the show no matter what you pair them with.

3. Oscar by Oscar de la Renta "Sheela" - Gorgeous Gray Fabric Flats

This is one of the most striking pair of flats I've seen in quite a while. With pointed toes, a big silver crackled buckle and a phenomenal print fabric upper, these shoes epitomize sophisticated style. Perfect for taking dress pants or suits to an elegant level, they feature a .5" flat heel.

4. Nine West "Bayard" - Sleek Gray Booties

With pointy toes and a sleek, chic design, these killer booties would be fabulous in any color, but the gray is a great choice if you're searching for something a little different. Pair them with jeans or dress pants for a powerful modern look.

5. Jessica Simpson "Brenda" - Croc-Embossed Gray Pumps

With croc-embossed leather uppers and 3.5" heels, these knockout gray shoes take the phrase "killer pumps" to a whole new level. Wear them to work, and the office will never be the same, but they're also dressy enough to make an impression at dinner. Fabulous.

6. Franco Sarto "Irony" T-Straps - Patent Leather Gray Shoes

Open-toed t-straps like the "Irony" from Franco Sarto are one of this season's hottest looks. With patent leather uppers, and in this in-demand shade of gray, they don't get much more "now" than these shoes. Pair them with a shift or a-line dress and tights for a totally mod look, or go a little more conventional with a skirt, dress or suit. Whichever look you choose, the results will be awesome with shoes like these.

7. Nine West "Levant" - Soft Gray Evening Shoes

Since gray is such a great color to wear with dressier apparel, I desperately wanted to include a pretty evening shoe on this list. The "Levant" from Nine West delivered pretty, and a whole lot more. With a 4.5" heel and a striking rhinestone brooch on the vamp, these sling-backs have adjustable straps, open-toes, and come in the softest shade of gray imaginable -- stunning.

8. Boutique 9 "Gino" - High Heeled Gray Shoes

The hidden platform sole not only gives this gray shoe its dynamic look, but also helps offset the 4.5" heel. With suede uppers and covered heels, these pretty sling-backs can go casual or dressy. And the contrast stitchin on the vamp adds a bit of fun.

9. Nine West "Jape2" - Sophisticated Satin Pumps

With satin uppers and 4" heels, these pretty dress shoes have a peep toe and a partially concealed platform sole. They'd make a suit look very dressy, or they'd be the perfect accessory to a skirt or dress of nearly any lenght or shape.

10. Naturalizer "Princy" - Dark Gray Shoes

These pretty slingbacks feature uppers of suede and patent leather, and come in the richest shade or dark gray. Perfect for work or evenings out, these open-toed shoes have concealed micro-platforms and 3" covered heels.
