Shoes are more than foot-protecting accessories, they’re a form of self-expression. Footwear trends tend to change very fast, and every year we have a new obsession with finding that perfect pair.
This cluster of unique shoes in 2009 includes everything from mosaic sneakers and fairy tale inspired shoes, to Dior and Galliano haute spring heels. It also includes footwear innovations like human hair shoes and supercar spring footwear. A melange of every style, color and brand for any shoeholic to indulge in. Since some of you regard leather as unethical, the cluster even includes eco-friendly, 100% vegan footwear creations.
