What shoe genius designed this beauty?? It's kind of like a peep-toe pump, kind of like a cut-out ankle bootie. It's kind of like a heeled sandal and kind of exotic, but classic at the same time. It's kind of amazing and made by Report Signature. The Downey III Sandal is all the latest and hottest shoe trends all wrapped into one gorgeous, versatile, leg-elongating package. Plus, the splash of turquoise and gold snake skin gives it a pop of color and adds an air of exoticism. The crisp white leather is perfect for spring/summer, but doesn't compete with the many trends already going on, giving the Downey III Sandal an elegant and luxe vibe. Pair it with linen pants or a mini-skirt for a breezily beautiful day ensemble. Or get the black with gold and silver version and strut your stuff for an sexy, edgy nighttime look!

Cristobal Balenciaga was a designer among designers, with his exceptional sewing skills and drive for perfection equal to his gift for design. Even Christian Dior called him "the master of us all." oday, Nicolas Ghesquiere is head of womenswear for Balenciaga and brings a fresh, young interpretation of the classics to the late designer's fashion label. The shoes are no exceptions! One perfect example of hip takes on the classics is Balenciaga's black leather peep-toe boots, combining the sexiness of thae boot with the sexiness of a sandal. The leather front covers the foot to the ankle, except for the peep toe. A strap around the back of the ankle has a gold colored metal buckle. They also have a platform and an approximately 5 inch heel. A long, bias-cut skirt will flutter gracefully around these shoes, drawing flattering attention to them. And there are so many more hot Balenciaga shoes to lust after!
