A New Wave of Shoe Accessories Freshens Up Your Old Stomping Ground

By Piera Gelardi & Molly Smith

Ever the frugal gals, when we find a pair of flat sandals or soaring wedges we couldn't love more, we wear them to death. It manages to be both obsessive AND economical. But now with a fresh new round of clever shoe accessories, we can freshen up the old standbys in a snap. No trips to the cobbler necessary—instead, these fanciful accoutrements will change up your most run-o-the-mill heels. We freaked when we found we could re-create Alex Wang's Alexis Fringe Boot or evoke a fab knee-high for a fraction of the cost. Any of these bold chains, Victorian-inspired shoe clips, and tough wraps of leather will refresh even the most keenly-curated shoe collections—and magically make our old stomping ground a lot more interesting.
