Many of their spring collections feature amazing open-toed shoes that will definitely complete your new look for the next couple of months. They're not only chic and fabulous, but they'll also feel so comfortable, you'll also wish that it's spring is all year long.
Balenciaga Allover Logo Round Angle Strap Sandal
As one of the top
French designer brands out there, it's an honor to wear Balenciaga all over your feet... literally! The label's now-famous Allover Logo Round Angle Strap Sandal champions logomania at its finest! The name is strategically plastered all over the strap, visible enough to let everyone know, even from a mile away, which
haute couture house your heels come from. However, the logo is also not so big that the logomania here is borderline tacky. It teeters between timeless and trendy, resulting in a tongue-in-cheek yet timeless look. And with that low heel, you can already feel how comfortable the shoe is just by looking at it.

At first glance, don't these Jil Sander High Sandals look like a Jeff Koons artwork? They've certainly captured the American artist's cartoonishly round signature aesthetic even though the
Italian designer brand probably didn't intend for the shoes to look inspired by him. But be that as it may, the undeniable similarities make the comparison unavoidable and whether that's a good or bad thing depends on the wearer's view. Generally speaking, however, these Jil Sander sandals tick many tend boxes, especially for 2022. They're sure to steal attention on the street but the overall puffiness of the silhouette might make your feet sweat more than you want them to.

Gia Borghini High Heel Leather Sandal
Gia Borghini might not be the most famous
Italian designer shoe label out there but they can definitely go toe-to-toe (pun intended!) with a lot of the big ones! Especially since they can easily stay on top of the current runway trends. Their incredibly chic open-toed high heel leather sandals are great examples. Banking on the pseudo-minimalist trend that fellow Italian brands have started, this particular pair is a great footwear choice for this upcoming warm season. The Nappa leather material provides comfort amidst the exaggerated arc in the silhouette, while the low heel guarantees little to no blisters after a long day of walking.

Marsèll Crossover-Strap Platform Sandals
Marsèll's crossover-strap platform sandals offer two things: comfort and a cool aesthetic. With its level elevation, you don't have to arch your feet for long hours as you would with ordinary heels, hence, you can walk with ease when you wear them. And the extra height is bound to give you more confidence as if you're towering over the rest of the world. The fact that they also come in bright sunshine tones makes them more than appropriate for spring or even summer too. So, is there any drawback here? Yes—the weight. Platform shoes, in any form, will never lose the hassle of weight, particularly for everyday shoes like this pair!

It's a shame that Marsèll is a pretty underrated
LA-based brand considering how well they can adapt to the latest trends and fads. Especially when it comes to their footwear. Just take a look at their famous Judith Platform sandals. Whether you go for the neutral-toned pairs or a more striking snakeskin design, they epitomize the modernized 70s aesthetic that has dominated fashion week runways for many years now. It's equal parts vintage and current, making for a great choice of open-toed shoes that are perfect for the upcoming seasons. Your springtime will look even more fabulous!

They'll just need the patience to strap them on since just by looking at them you can already tell that it won't be that simple of a process!

Fendi Feel Mink Sandals
Fendi and fur will never separate, even when during spring. Since the Italian designer label started out as a fur house, it's only natural that they'd apply the fluffy material to practically every single item in their luxury product range. Of course, this includes their open-toed footwear too. Enter Fendi's Feel Mink Sandals. Evoking absolute luxury from every angle, they're both chic and comfy in equal measure. However, with all that fur may come sweat, itchiness, and the like. Not to mention the fact that, compared to the other open-toed shoes on this list, you won't be able to wear this to many places.
