So many shoes, so little time! This season, printed and extreme cutout wedges are all the rage, but New Yorkers wanting something more comfortable can go for mini-heel sandals and updated espadrilles. For something more fun, check out woven styles, or sexy looks made of transparent materials. Get ready to step out! WOVEN DETAIL For the flower child in you, chic woven styles mix neutral colors with natural details. “Moho” heels, $595 at chelseaparis.com Alex Afervez
