The choice of sandals offered by designers is extraordinarily wide. Since last season, sandals with thin "webbeds", like on Mary Jane shoes, as well as models with an ankle bracelet, have moved to the new season, but it has become a little narrower. Heels also delight in diversity: here and the classic immortal hairpin, and the platform, and the wedge.
