Snake Charmers

Boots with the fur are so constricting, especially for Hawaii’s so-called winters. Shed them away and slither into some sexy snakeskin pumps, wedges or flats made from classic python and smaller-scaled hissers. In bold, beyond-the-rainbow colors, these statement-makers add just the right amount of edge.
