Alessandro Michele is officially a shoe fiend. For spring ’17, Gucci‘s creative director showed a whopping 16 dramatically different (not to mention wildly eccentric) footwear styles. Here’s your cheat sheet.

Platform horsebit loafer: The house classic was given extra lift. Some versions were embellished, while others were kept spiffy in classic leathers.

Two-strap stilettos: Lest these be too common, they were styled with latex or leather leggings in a pop contrast hue.

Decked-out platforms: Toughened up with punkish studding, these loafers were anything but staid. They looked as though they were designed with street-style stars in mind.
