A lot of the times, fashion shows, models, and runways are about the clothes and the corresponding designers more than anything else. However, 2015 saw designers pull out the big guns and go out all out with their experimentation, not only in case of their clothing lines, which were fabulous as it is, but also with the accessories which the models sported on their long walk down the aisle. Some of the most striking features were the shoes that we got to see on the runway. Some were quirky, while others were downright creative and unexpected, while others experimented with old school footwear fashion, and left us wanting more.
Here are some of the best runway shoes that we spotted during the course of 2015.
