The Best, Worst, and Craziest Street-Style Shoes From Fashion Month

Now that you’ve seen all of the wonderful and weird bags from fashion month, it’s time to look back on all of the shoes. New York was freezing cold and snowy, so rational folks like Shiona Turini and Nicole Chapoteau opted for sensible boots, while others like Vashtie decided to say “eff it” and bare plenty of leg. Then everyone moved on to London, where the weather was balmy enough to justify open-toe shoes. From there, the premature sandal trend continued in Milan and Paris. Also still trendy: sneakers. The Raf Simons Stan Smiths, in shades of pink and red, were a hit, while ‘90s-inspired platform kicks including Marc by Marc Jacobs’s Moon Boot–style clunkers popped up. Click ahead to see these, plus more shoe porn from the last four weeks.
