A Weird Shoe Is Your Secret to Wonderful Spring Style

It’s hard to fall in love with an ugly shoe. The thought of wearing Crocs or creepers for a night out can be tough to come around to, especially for those who are passionate about their designer heels. But putting on a weird pair doesn’t have to feel off the mark. Just look to the recent runways: Christopher Kane showed crystal-embellished Crocs during his Spring 2017 show, as Maxwell Osborne and Dao-Yi Chow designed a sporty creeper for their lineup that same season. The Vetements sock shoe remains as popular as ever, while Miuccia Prada put her chic touch on a classic Teva sandal this season. Whether you dress these oddball shoes up or down, they always make a strong sartorial statement.

Above, six offbeat shoe trends to try this spring and stand out from the plain pumps and Stan Smiths.
