This tan macrame shoe, intricately knotted from toe to heel, features a variety of textured patterns. A diamond lattice wraps the heel, while diagonal bands of dense zig-zags accented with thin light blue and gray threads cross the midsection. A U-shaped motif sits atop the forefoot. From the opening, frayed fibers and a small paper tag extend, highlighting the garment's delicate, handmade construction.
