Downtime: Espadrilles, Flats, and Sneakers
They say, there is no rest for the weary, but when it comes to the footwear category we beg to differ. Oodles and kaboodles of styles are yours for the taking if your tootsies are feeling a little less footless and fancy free, but a little more frenzied from the countless days and countless nights in skinny stilettos and balancing on teetering platforms.
Designers (and podiatrists) have taken notice and translated trends to a ‘lower class’ of ballet flats, espadrilles, sneakers and slides cleverly playing with proportions, metallics, color-blocking, prints, ankle straps, snakeskin, studs, even adding Hermès inspired wings in some cases.
Your footsies need no longer be afraid of heights with a healthy dose of downtime. So, sit back, relax. And put your feet up.
