Let Freedom Ring

Libertas Shoes

George Michael sang about it. Everyone’s always fighting for it. And our country’s foundation is based upon it.

That’s right, kids. We’re talking about freedom.

For your feet, that is. Release them from the bondage of strappy stilettos with a pair of Libertas (that’s Latin for “freedom”) sandals. The line is designed around comfort: Each pair has a ¾-inch reinforced heel, making them the perfect way to shod yourself for a busy day.

But don’t fret: Style has not been sacrificed for support. The thongs are made of Italian leather and come in adorable styles like Deluxe (suede with rhinestone- and stud-encrusted straps and braided metallic leather accents) and Rocker (snakeskin with antique brass studs). With fun colors like honey, rum, fog, olive, and lilac, the options are endless.

So you’re not tied down to a single pair.

Available at Canvas, 77 Throckmorton Avenue, between Bernard Street and Corte Madera Avenue, Mill Valley (415-383-0520); 444 Magnolia Avenue, suite 101, Larkspur (415-924-4505). To see styles, go to libertasdesigns.com.
