Christopher Kane and Jonathan Saunders showed strappy, swirly heels at their respective Spring 2010 shows in London. Both also worked with a pretty pastel palette that added to the whimsical nature of the shoes. Kane concentrated on creating swirly heels that were decidedly soft-serve ice-cream-esque. Saunders opted for mostly two-toned footwear with lots of strappy ankle detailing and snake-print leather. It looks like this spring strappy, swirly heels will have women running in circles!
