Hybrid Heels

Though we are more than ready to see winter’s cold and dreary days in our rearview mirror, the idea of storing away our favorite boots from the season is another story. Our plan to ease the inevitable pain that will come from packing up our prettiest pairs? To keep our feet preoccupied with of-the-moment marvels like Nicholas Kirkwood’s Scalloped Snakeskin Sandal Boots.

A sister style to cage sandals, these knee-high beauties are unlike any shoe we’ve ever seen. Built to transition, their genius is in the details of a peep-toe base, cutout top (made of snakeskin leather, natch) and mirrored, triangular heel. One glance at them and it is clear that Nicholas Kirkwood knows just how to get a girl excited for the months to come. Let these haute hybrids shine by teaming them with an unfussy black dress, turquoise clutch (to echo their heel) and perfectly pale polish.
