Subtly Style-Meshed Shoes

These Cute Booties are a Mash-Up of Several Styles

If you're looking for cute booties that are truly versatile, the Zenobia sandals would do the job -- they're basically like a collage of different fashion genres. Combining classic chic, retro, futuristic and even tribal into one perfect pair, shoe designer Eva Lai of i'alave kept innovation in mind.

The color-blocked toe front of the booties resemble a retro feel, as do the shoes' slightly platformed sole. The booties still keep the classic shape of a dainty stiletto ankle boot, but has a futuristic heel shaped like a lightning bolt. The heel is definitely one of the most eye-catching parts, because it's made of a clear plastic. Finally, the lace-up front is accentuated with tribal-printed ribbons. Not only is the shoe edgy and bold, but it's also dainty in the way it is embellished -- it would match literally any outfit.
