The Alexander McQueen Sculpted Sandals may not be the first stunningly artistic shoe to ever be seen, but it is certainly one of the most ethereal pairs. Wondrously whittled, these wedges take on the form of leaves curling in the wind, giving the distinct impression that whoever is wearing them is actually walking on air. Considering the height of them, that isn’t such a far-fetched idea.
Designed by Sarah Burton, the wedges of the Alexander McQueen Sculpted Sandals are carved out of resin, while the rest of the shoe features cream leather details. As part of the McQueen Spring 2011 collection, these shoes are definitely perfect for the hot summer season.
