100 Gifts for Shoe Lovers

From Embellished Designer Sneakers to Rubberized Pool Slides

— December 23, 2017 — Fashion
These gifts for the shoe lover range from furry sneaker loafers to revitalized jelly slides that draw inspiration from the 90s. Shoe lovers of all ages can be inspired by these fun footwear styles which include everything from exclusive sneakers to stilettos that are crafted out of a plant-based leather alternative.

For those with a sportier shoe obsession, standouts include Beyonce's red velvet Ivy Park slides which embody an air of luxury without losing sense of comfort. Additionally, New Balance's Study sneakers marry aesthetics with function, working to amplify movement for athletes practicing niche sports like fencing.

Other shoe lover gift ideas to note include disco-inspired platform sandals like YRU's bold style in gold sequins, along with Saint Laurent's whimsical roller skate heels which are a less functional and more artful investment for collectors.
