Babouche

Flat, pointy toed slippers have been trending in recent collections, from resort to pre-fall, prompting Vogue to proclaim them the “it” shoe of 2016. Céline’s version of the traditional Moroccan slipper sports an exaggerated toe with a single, buckled strap across the middle of the foot. Narciso Rodriguez gave the shoe a slight platform, whereas Philip Lim elevated his with a slight heel. But much as we dig these modern interpretations, our hearts still remain loyal to the classic babouche. They’re super comfortable and are guaranteed to cost less. So until the “it” shoe hits stores in just a few months, you’ll find us rocking the Casbah with the classics.
