For Pre-Fall 2016, Gucci's Shoes Skew Toward The Unconventional

Gucci is a brand that’s more energetic than we’ve seen in years. Its handbags are playful while still maintaining a sophisticated structure and design, and under Alessandro Michele’s vision, the brand’s Pre-Fall 2016 shoes follow suit.

The collection, and to an extent, the new Gucci direction, draws on retro inspiration that Michele is so deft at making feel modern and of-the-moment; knee-high boots aren’t just knee-high boots. As with the Pre-Fall 2016 handbags, you’ll find playful appliqués and embroidery, as well as on some T-strap sandals. If you remember Gucci’s Spring 2016 shoes, you’ll notice many similarities, like striped platforms, spiked sandals and retro-inspired, lace-up flats.

Gucci’s collection wouldn’t be complete without Michele’s signature pair of furry loafers, too, and you’ll find more than one pair for your viewing pleasure below. Shop Gucci’s current collection via Gucci.com
