One of freshman Isabella Gomez’s many pairs of extravagant shoes. This pair is Gomez’s favorite.

Isabella Gomez’s shoes may not be made for walking, but perhaps they were made for gawking—in the best way, of course.

The Prowl took a few minutes to visit with Gomez, whose shoes make quite a statement.
