Take your wardrobe from spring to fall with the Bandal. A combination of a sandal and a boot, the Bandal has been shaking things up on the runways.
Most Bandals are an open-toed shoe mixed in with an ankle boot. While some of the styles can be a little over the top, these shoes can take you from spring right through to the end of fall without skipping a beat.
Implications - The nice thing about Bandals is that they have a very simple and clean design; this makes them ideal for both casual outings or formal events. Strut your stuff down the sidewalk in style during any season with a pair of pretty Bandals.
