Tired of spending a fortune on shoes for every occasion? Check out Mohop shoes, handmade by Annie Mohaupt from Chicago. She came up with an ingenious design that can turn one pair of shoes into dozens of styles. One shoe base is available in low, mid, and high heels (from one to 3-inches). Switch out the colored and patterned ribbons (five are provided with your purchase), change the tie style (the shoes come with a booklet with 12 ways to tie the ribbons), and voila! You've got a pair of shoes to match every outfit.

Technical fabric makes the nubuck/neoprene upper water-friendly and the contoured foot-bed keeps your feet comfy on sand, soil or concrete.
