Where's that tiny scream coming from? Is that the floor crying out in pain over being stabbed repeatedly by your stilettos? Nope, it's your claustrophobic feet crying out for air. Get them some work-appropriate breathing room stat with a pair of cut-out booties. Funky, chunky, or down-right punky, there's an option for everyone looking to dive in feet first. (Get it?) From Topshop's array including Western and '90s floral styles to Shopbop's tasteful-yet-sexy offerings, get those tootsies excited for a breath of stylish fresh air. —Cleo Zancope
