The Dolce and Gabbana shoes for Spring 2010 are sexy, rock-n-roll-inspired stilettos. The design duo are known for almost always being over the top and presenting sexually charged collections. For Spring 2010 the Dolce and Gabbana shoes use black lace and fishnet material to cage the feet inside strapy peep-toe sandals or burlap pumps to achieve an almost bondage-like look.
The Dolce and Gabbana shoes have an unfinished, unpolished look that usually extends to the sole of the shoe. The lace and fishnet addition give the footwear an edge that has been the domain of metal studs in other seasons. Metallic or red animal-print leather straps can be seen on the more colorful selections while texturized black on black pervades the more gothic pieces.
