open toe

Digits-out shoe style

Open toe describes footwear designed with an opening that exposes the toes.

Open-toe shoes, sandals, and heels are warm-weather staples: She wore open-toe pumps to the wedding.

The style contrasts with closed-toe designs and often appears in dress codes specifying what's acceptable: No open-toe shoes in the laboratory.
