Gone are the times when the only thing on the bottom of your shoe was a piece of
discarded chewing gum; these days the decorations on the sole of your heels
are just as important as the top and sides. Whether they be swathed
in deep red like Christian Louboutin’s or covered in Swarovski crystal dust
like Rene Caovillo’s red-carpet-ready heels, soles are new the canvas on
which a brand paints its unique signature. The latest bedecked sole comes
from shoe designer Cesare Paciotti who has outfitted his Spring/Summer 2011
shoes with a nude sole printed with a black lace design. Like a brief flash
of lace lingerie, the effect is flirtatious and fun.
