Nicholas Kirkwood Size 40 Two Tone Leather and Water Snakeskin Slingback Platform Sandals

These sandals show Nicholas Kirkwood treating footwear like architecture. By pairing black leather with a centered panel of water snakeskin, the shoe creates an interesting mix of materials right down the front of the foot. The real draw, though, is the engineering—a sliced away platform under the toe and a curved stiletto that gives you a dramatic lift.
