Bare Footwear

Carly Margolis and Keds Create Deceptive Toe Shoes

Carly Margolis and Keds have joined forces to create a shoe that technically could be worn to a formal event, but I definitely would not recommend it. On second thought, go for it. Nothing like having some silly footwear to liven up a black tie event.

The outside features the bare foot look that will definitely get a chuckle out of anyone who looks upon it. Check out more sweet sneakers on Trend Hunter below.
