Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!

The last time we polled our readers about toe cleavage, the results were split. Some shoe-obsessed readers think the look is a hit, while those with foot phobias find it a major miss. What do you think about toe cleavage? Is it best saved for nights out, or is it okay at all times of the day? While we’re still split on the matter, what we can agree on is that it’s a trend reserved for the well-pedicured (freakish feet need not apply). Can you guess from the photos below which celebrities are fans of toe cleavage? The answers below:

What do you think?  Let us know in the comments whether you’d:

b) strictly reserve it for nights out on the town

c) can’t stand it and would never, ever wear shoes that reveal your toe cleavage

Then check out our guides to the best flat sandals, the best nude shoes, and comfortable heels to wear all day–toe cleavage or not.
