The tauntingly fluctuating temperatures and slew of new merchandise in stores have us gearing up for spring. Get a jump on the season with Nicole Brundage’s Italian-made sandals and boots, now 70 percent off at Opening Ceremony. The styles feature sturdy elastic uppers atop leather soles and dark wooden heels. Though the 4.25-inch heel offers a leg-lengthening boost, the elastic bands are surprisingly comfortable, leaving you blister-free.

Acrobats of God Fiamma boot and Volta heel, $126 each (originally $420) at Opening Ceremony.
