The clear shoe trend is characterized by shoes crafted from see-through or semi-transparent materials like clear plastic or PVC. This style has gained traction in the realm of fashion, introducing a distinct and contemporary visual appeal. The range of clear shoes is broad, encompassing clear heels, flats, boots and sandals.

The translucency of these shoes offers a flexible and adaptable aesthetic, making them suitable to be matched with diverse outfits and color schemes. They often create an optical illusion of elongated legs and can serve as a standout element in a variety of fashion combinations.

Waddingham, who is 5-foot-11, is a heel enthusiast. During an interview on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” in December 2023, the actress said she is “all about the heels” and doesn’t censor herself from wearing sky-high shoes because of her own height. “I’m going to be offensive,” she said, commenting on her love for towering shoes.
