High-Heeled Sandal Shoes from Roberto Cavalli 2011 Spring-Summer Collection
Roberto Cavalli 2011 Spring/Summer Shoe collection recalls the beats of burning Africa to our mind and remind us of tribal chief footwear. All the models are equipped with high heels and some of them feature crocodile leather details.
Classic thin heels and open toes are the key features of Robetro Cavalli collection. The shoes come in brown, beige and gray color variants and are stylized to imitate snake, crocodile and lizard skin.
Roberto Cavalli used already existing sandal and bootie symbiosis design and created on its base rather an eccentric construction with exotic leather inserts. Reptile leather tops and slipshod detail shape - as if sawn together a minute ego - make the footwear look wild and breathtaking.
Dozens of thin straps firmly fix a sandal on your leg. At the same time they are interwoven into a complicated lacing to decorate sandal tops.
Such footwear is not that could be expected, it evokes rather mixed feelings of thrill and excitement. However, though tribal chief wives would certainly appreciate alligator leather sandals, the “greens” don’t approve such designer solutions, as a rule.
Yet, Roberto Cavalli offers another variant of summer sandal shoes. They are more sensible from point of view the “green,” yet don’t lose in design. There are gladiator sandals and feminine high-heeled sandals made from metal rings.
