Do you have a great pair of sandals that you wished you had in every color?
Chicago’s Annie Mohaupt has solved your problem without draining the bank account: Mohop Shoes.

Made in Annie’s Logan Suqare studio, the Mohop Shoe (aka., Infinity Sandal) is a wooden wedge platform that you wear with whatever ribbon makes you smile. And since the wooden wedge is both a major trend for the spring and environmentally friendly, this is the shoe to have.

Each shoe comes with 5 ribbons (you select the palette) and you change it up to suit your fashion needs. You can also let your imagination go wild – buy your own ribbons, add other pieces (I’m thinking vintage costume jewelry), whatever strikes you. The Mohop website has a ribbon-how-to page for inspiration if you get stuck. Last summer Mohop even had a Facebook contest on tying Mohops – I’m convinced this is because Annie wants you to have as much fun with your shoes as she does.

Beyond the fashion, the shoes are amazing. Since Annie is an architect turned shoe designer, when someone says Mohop shoes are architectural, they really are. Being a builder, Annie figured out a design (patent-pending) to let the ribbons be changed easily, to let the ribbons give when they need to give (eliminating blisters), and to provide support for the entire foot.
