des fioritures


Explanation:
sandales ornées de fioritures

Example sentence(s):
  • La chaussure offre une présentation sommaire, des lignes épurées, sobres et sans fioritures. Les tons bleus clairs et gris sont assez discrets
  • Elles arrivent au sommet de leur arts, avec leurs impressions colorées, leurs fioritures et leurs pans froncés.

passepoil; bordure


Explanation:
After looking at the photo of a sandal with an "ultra violet changing trim component as "fun" feature," I would say that they are referring to the piping on the shoe. My preference would be "passepoil" but I think that "bordure" would work as well.
