It was perhaps unsurprising that, during a sweltering summer, everyone seemed to develop an allergy to closed-toe shoes. New York, London, Milan, Paris…everywhere you looked, there were feet. That said, even the most committed flip-flop, satin mule, or mesh ballet flat wearer must admit there’s little fun in feeling the heat of the pavement underfoot, no matter how freeing the breeze between your toes.
Dakota Johnson in New York.
BACKGRID
Dakota Johnson may have found the solution. Enter: the wedge flip-flop. Out and about amid the frenzy of New York Fashion Week, Johnson was photographed yesterday in Jude’s leather Yaga wedge sandals, worn with an LBD—long black dress, in this case—from Toteme and Valentino’s Preta Envelope Rockstud bag.
A longtime advocate for rewearing your favorite items—we’ve seen her in Phoebe Philo’s gathered flats more times than we can count—Johnson also sported the same sandals the night before with jeans and a bodysuit. Proof, perhaps, that the wedge flip-flop is all you need in your shoedrobe during this transitional season, not to mention a last chance to flash that pedicure before frostbite sets in.
