Footwear Trend: Jewelry For Your Feet

Written by Elizabeth Mitchell

Step up your accessories game with foot ties.

First came bling for sleeping, and now you can dip your little toes into the latest accessories trend, courtesy of Free People: foot ties. Otherwise known as footsies, these colorful, hand crochet must-haves wrap around your ankle and toe to create the illusion of a sandal, except without the bottom.

They’re basically every boho chic, hippie-girl-who-doesn’t-wear-shoes’ dream. Wear them to frolic around in at summer music festivals or to decorate your feet poolside or at the beach. Because screw practicality, who needs footwear anyway?

We love these for yoga retreats, beachside living, vacations and even beach weddings where guests are encouraged to go shoe-free.

Also called “barefoot sandals,” these soft, romantic touches were first brought to the mainstream US shoppers by Free People.

“These sweet sandals make walking barefoot in the grass a sensual pleasure with a lovely look,” describes one of the bestselling barefoot sandal foot jewelry brands, Barmine Chantilly. “They’re comfortable to wear with or without shoes (so they’ll slip into your ceremony heels but stay on for barefoot dancing at the reception!), these lace bridal anklets are made from 100% cotton yarn. They tie easily around the ankle, providing a perfectly adjustable and oh-so-easy fit.”
