The right pair of personalized exotic shoes can seem like they where made especially for you, and this season it’s all about wearing pieces that are undeniably you.
Gone are the days of wearing basic pumps that are nearly the same as everyone else’s kicks. It is time to own a pair of totally personalized, exotically interesting new heels.
These interestingly designed shoes have taken design and style points from several rather obscure and seemingly random elements of life. Whether it’s baseball or hot sauce, famous art or history, sic-fi or nature, these shoes have each been inspired by things that are not usually associated with the world of footwear.
From Intricately Studded Stilettos to Chic Chain Linked Heels this season it is totally acceptable to get a little crazy with your heel of choice.
