It’s all about the sharpened shoe this fall. Models for the season’s shows strutted down the runway in sky-high stilettos, kitten-heel slingbacks and gamine flats that, no matter the height, all narrowed to a point at the toes.
In its collection, Gucci went wild with the trend, offering an array of pointy-toed shoes featuring funky details and colors that elevated its petite heels. This blue pair ($1,250), made from leather printed to look like crocodile, played with the shape by slightly softening the point to a square.
