Heeled, partly exposed sandals boast a strong likelihood of becoming the focal point of your springtime attire. Initially displayed on the runways of the spring/summer 2026 showcases, we’re now spotting more and more fashion-forward individuals on the streets embracing chic and unusual choices. The shoe’s facade is now not merely utilitarian – it evolves into a vital design component, transforming the footbed into an authentic high-fashion item. Slightly exposed, slightly concealed – these shoes flawlessly merge ease and a striking appearance, positioning them as the footwear to don in the approaching spring.

Designer Victoria Beckham pioneered this fusion on the catwalk. Her footwear put the emphasis on deconstructed pastel-toned dresses, jackets with graphic patterns, and outsized overcoats. A notable characteristic was the toe-covered sandals featuring slender straps around the toe and ankle.

Chloé’s collection inspired by the 1950s, gave a fresh perspective on flower-patterned dresses and sustained a vintage charm overall, notably with sandals that featured heightened silk soles in contrasting colors, acting as foot protectors.
