Considering that the Golden Peacock bunch favor weird, wacky, but still chic handbags, it’s no surprise that their choices in footwear are equally fantastic. As expected, those Gucci fur loafers were insanely popular, first popping up in New York before becoming the top shoe in Milan. But it wasn’t just furry slides that proved to be a hit. Also big: crazy boots of all sorts, including striped knee-high ones from Valentino, Lucite-heeled sock styles from Dior, and spindly ones from the brand of the moment, Vetements. See all of those plus a pair of slingbacks that doubles as Christmas decorations, Wicked Witchesque mary janes, and more in our roundup of the best, worst, and craziest shoes from Fashion Month.
