Sometimes feeling caged isn’t such a bad thing. The shoe trend continues to ride high and will all the way through fall, so find a pair you love and step right in. Besides, some of these are on sale. Hello! It’s a sign from the universe (or Bergdorf Goodman – depends on which altar you pray at). Go all in with McQueen and Zanotti, or try something like the Lanvin that’ll give you the look without the heavy hand. Which cage would you like to find yourself in?
Christian Louboutin Karina Caged Red-Sole Ankle Bootie ($1,195): This is the strappy shoe for all occasions – it’s fierce, yet the suede gives it serious wearability.
Alexander McQueen Studded Leather Cage Booties ($1,018): If you don’t want to stop at sexy black straps, why not add studs to the mix?
Lanvin Patent Leather Cage Sandal ($556): The brand’s signature grosgrain ribbon lightens the intensity of patent caging with a distinctly feminine touch.
B Brian Atwood Mirante Studded Stretch Cage Sandal ($331): Black snakeskin, pointy silver studs, and a metal heel – this is the kind of shoe that will inspire fear and awe wherever you step.
Giuseppe Zanotti Mirrored Peep-Toe Cage Bootie ($995): Maybe you find dark cages oppressive. Giuseppe’s mirrored gold takes off some of the edge.
