Highlighter-Hued Kicks

The Fluo Derby Shoes Will Electrify Your Ensemble

— June 11, 2012 — Fashion
These electrically eccentric Fluo Derby Shoes are guaranteed to add a fashionable flair to every and any outfit you pair them with.

The traditional wing-tip shoes that have inspired this more vibrant interpretation are most commonly seen in black and white. These shoes, however, sport a fluorescent highlighter yellow, transparent plastic cutouts and black-lace. The transparent peek-a-boo bits provide a pleasing contrast with the hyped-up highlighter hue that demands your attention; however, the classic shoe style still maintains its simplicity. Slip on these eccentric foot fashions with a pair of jeans and basic white tee for a completely unique outfit.

Draw attention to your look and not to your bank statements with these reasonably priced loafers. For only $50 you could be sporting the Fluo Derby Shoes.
