If you want to give your shoe collection a bold summer makeover, these crochet fruit shoes are a great way to add a punch of color to your wardrobe. Etsy designer Mayan Levi-Ellentuck upcycled various pairs of women's shoes into knitted works of fruity footwear.
Ellentuck's literal fruit footwear is great for bold fashionistas who want to really stand out when they walk down the street. Each of the heels is inspired by a different fruit that Ellentuck has crocheted a pattern for. The chromatic crochet knitting is then placed overtop of the heel to turn the shoe into a seemingly edible piece of footwear. There are a wide variety of crochet heels to choose from such as watermelon slices, banana peels and even a fruit salad.
