Lace-Ups

Trade in your tired winter boots for a pair of sexy tie-ups this spring. From Valentino to Balmain, flat to sky-high stilettos, shoes that laced up the leg or around the ankle were almost everywhere. And considering they've been around for a couple of seasons now, it's safe to say they're a worthy investment.

block-heel slides

chunky flatforms

Platforms, creepers — whatever you want to call these babies — continue to steal the spotlight as one of the season's most adaptable shoes. Their thick, flat soles offer a little bit of extra height, making them the perfect addition to a dress or skirt. We're talking legs for days.
