Frontless Shoes

Annejet Kosters Shoe Designs

There is something missing with the experimental shoe designs by Annejet Kosters... the entire front! Her airy designs are sure to please those who like to go barefoot but still hanker for heels.

The Golden Heel is exactly that. The shoe consists of a golden heel with an ankle wrap strap. The Billy is a black boot affair with front lacings with a rounded heel and no front!

Eye-catching shoes with killer heels!
