Boot-Inspired Sandals

The Sorel Footwear Spring Collection Puts a Spin on Classic Silhouettes

The Sorel Footwear Spring 2016 collection takes some familiar silhouettes from its boot line in order to rethink its shoes for better weather. Stripping them down into much lighter and more feminine designs, the sandals show the different direction the brand is continuing to go down. The Sorel Footwear Spring 2016 collection will appeal to younger consumers thanks to the stylish colors and edgy details.

Many of the designs incorporate sneaker-like soles as well, which speaks to the athleisure aesthetic a lot of people are going for this year. Beyond that, the Sorel Footwear Spring 2016 collection is as chic as it is edgy. From all-white palettes to army patterns and animal-skin like textures, the collection marries function and form beautifully. You can't go wrong here.
