It is difficult to find a pair of high quality clear plastic heels or sandals that are also refined enough to wear every day but here are twelve of them.
Clear heels, or lucite pumps, won’t lie to you or ask you to send them pictures and then not call the next week. Shoes cannot tell you to do something when what they really wanted was the opposite of that thing. They are upfront and let everything show through when you wear them.
Here are twelve pairs of translucent heels, booties and sandals from various retailers and designers as selected by Slutty Raver Costumes. Visit the store to read more about each piece.
1. ALYX
The ALYX 40mm Rodeo Woven Leather Ankle Boots (On sale for $919) were woven from white leather in the hills of Italy. The slip on ankle boot features a 1.5 inch plexiglass heel.
2. Donald J. Pliner
Available in in Almond (shown here), Black and Poppy, the Donald J. Pliner Reza Slingback Pump ($328) has a perfectly round pointed toe that fuses the natural geometry of wood and lucite.
3. Kendall + Kylie
Kendall + Kylie Haven Clear Booties in Clear/Black ($185) are made from clear plastic trimmed with black patent leather. The pointy toed boots have a 3.75 inch heel with an exposed back zipper.
4. RAYE
The RAYE Aiden Heel ($158) features a clear vinyl upper and a nude leather sole with a 3.5 inch acetate heel. The slingback pumps offer maximum exposure and can be worn with nearly anything.
5. Praise Me
Make a statement with the Praise Me Jeweled Heels ($88). These are 4.5 inch gladiator heeled sandals made from clear vinyl with a bejeweled embellishment that runs up and down the lower legs.
6. Betsey Johnson
The Betsey Johnson SB-ELANA (On sale for $76.98), shown here in Gold Metal, has a darling strap that buckles around the ankle. That will keep the four inch heels secured to your feet for sure.
7. Cape Robbins
Space cowgirls will love the Cape Robbin Sierra 1 Boots ($59.99) that also comes in Black, Silver or White. The western inspired boot features southern stitching, clear vinyl legs and a 4.25 inch heel.
8. Juju Footwear
The Juju Footwear Babe Jelly Heel ($49) is inspired by the jelly sandals of the 90’s. The sturdy rubber sole has a block heel that is extra grippy. The clear platforms are glittery all over.
9. EXTREME by Eddie Marc
The EXTREME by Eddie Marc Adele Star Bootie (On sale for $34.97) comes in Gold, Black or Silver. The clear vinyl booties have a pattern of stars along the see through upper and a 3.5 inch heel.
10. Nasty Gal
These Nasty Gal Clear It Out Velvet Ankle Boots are on sale for $28, which is over half off. You get the best of a velvet ankle boot with a clear plastic vinyl feature that shows off your sexy ankles.
11. Charlotte Russe
The Charlotte Russe Strappy Lucite Heel Slide Sandals (On sale for $21.99) have no color so they match everything. You could just slip them on with a pair of shorts and then go to the store.
12. Forever 21
The Forever 21 Clear Caged Sandals (On sale for $8.95) are a good find for warm weather months. The white and clear plastic sandals match any bathing suit and are cheap enough to leave on the beach.
Clear plastic heels or lucite pumps and vinyl sandals are still a coveted type of shoe this year. Hopefully someone will figure out women need a shorter heel most of the time, but these are still cute.
If you like clear heels then what about velvet sneakers or block sandals?
