Summer and boots aren’t two words you usually hear together, but this trend is for real. A-listers from Rihanna and Lana Del Ray to Selena Gomez and Anne Hathaway are rocking seriously intense bondage-inspired boots this season and we’re taking notice.
Now let’s be clear–the use of boot is loose here. These shoes are more like a boot-sandal hybrid. They’re tall like winter boots, but the cutouts makes them more like sandals. Confusing? Maybe. Cute? We think so! And so do designers like Proenza Schouler, Jimmy Choo and Alexander Wang because they’re the ones making them.
