This shoe's defined by its ultra-thick satin knotted braid that t-straps along the length of the foot. Quite sturdy, ornate- and somehow rather lady like. It reminds me a bit of Rapunzel's braided hair, or a Heidi-esque/Leia-ian knotted hairstyle, since such intricate work could surely not be the work of a man. The look is polished by gleaming satin and a beautiful pale gold sole. The light fold on the satin toe straps is just icing on the cake. MAXSTUDIO's 'Sidewinder' sandal is gorgeous, and US$139.95.
