Since I was a kid I have always loved open toe and open heel sandals. I didnt realise then that this feeling for sandals and leather would continue into adulthood....but it has. I buy all my sandals from France mainly, all hand made by artisans and other sandals from Italy, Greece and Spain. The Europeans make the best and sexiest sandals in the world. Probably to do with the climate and the fact they are not hung up about naked feet, especially men.
