Schwings has created the perfect accessory to spice up your boring old kicks in shoe wings.

These add-ons will make you look like the Greek God Hermes who also sported wings on his feet -- except his made him fly. Don't try to fly with these. Also, don't expect to be able to run faster.

Some of the styles include [wings, butterflies and flames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flutterbox). My personal favourite is the moustache wings add-on as it would certainly add some charming humor to one's shoes.

The shoe wings simply attach through the [laces of your shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bread-laces), so they are an easy add-on to bring a little bit of character to your kicks.
