While we're more than just a little obsessed with shoes, we know that when it comes down to it, you really only need four different heel heights. A casual flat, a versatile heel — in this case, a sandal for Spring — a more formal platform sandal, and a sneaker. We opted for subtle albeit superplayful details, as seen in the scalloped edges or glitter-embellished silhouette.
