Women’s summer and evening sandals don’t really need any additional advertising, do they? Every summer, we strive to release our feet in order to expose them to the sun and to feel light and relaxed, refusing heavy, closed shoes and boots.
The new fashion seems to be especially supportive to all sorts of combinations, in which the features of different models of shoes are combined. Thus, fashion designers provide us with more options to complement our outfits with accessories, making them stylish, multifaceted, unexpected and a bit outrageous.
