While you may be ready for sandal season on an emotional level, physically-speaking your feet are most likely not. But that doesn't mean you have to wear boots deep into spring. Bide some time until you can hit the nail salon with the latest offerings from indie footwear brands like Neous, Mari Guidicelli, and By Far. All will allow you to free your feet without feeling totally exposed (or embarrassed). Check out 15 closed-toe reasons to ignore your nail salon, including fan-favorite mules, globe-shaped heels, and Everlane's newest pump (so good it has a 13,000 person wait list.)
