Apparently, in some parts of the country, it's Spring. In these places, people's feets are crying out to be freed from their shackles. In an effort to fight foot cruelty everywhere, I combed the darkest corners of Etsy to provide you with a round-up of the best and the brightest vintage sandals currently for sale.
