A surprising highlight of the Belo Horizonte shows which just concluded yesterday was the footwear. A few key trends emerged, namely the “ugly shoe” trend which reared its head once again, however also in some pleasant updates such as matte metalics and multiple thick strapping ideas. On the prettier side of things were intricate roping details on ankle straps and simple metallic thong sandals. One of my personal favorites were the creepers sans platforms and the Deauvillian striped platform sandals.
