One of the most popular styles of women’s shoes is the slingback. Slingbacks refer to shoes that are backless but have a strap around the back of the heel or ankle to hold it in place. Although slingbacks were invented in the 1930s, they are still considered modern today and are arguably the most popular style of shoes. Almost every shoe brand from Calvin Klein to Anne Taylor to Christian Louboutin feature pairs of slingback shoes.
Part of this popularity may come from the fact that this type of shoe is so versatile. There is such a wide variety of styles that go with casual outfits, formal outfits and everything in between. Slingback shoes come in heels of any height, wedges, flats or the very popular sandal. They can be open-toed or close-toed and made from many different materials and fabrics such as denim, leather, suede or silk.
When shopping for slingbacks, look for a
shoe that
suits the activity for which you plan on wearing them. For casual time with
friends during the summer, look for slingback sandals. For a date or night out
on the town, try open-toed heels in black, red or metallic colors. For the
office, a simple pair of black medium heel to high heel slingback shoes convey
business.
Your choice of shoe can also be used to express your own personal style. Select shoes with embellishments like beads, bows, buckles, metallic accents or cutouts to show your personality. If you choose open-toed shoes, you can further express yourself with a nice pedicure or funky nail polish colors or designs.
Online shopping is the easiest way to get good quality slingbacks and have a satisfying shopping experience. Not only is there a wider variety of styles of shoes online than in retail stores, but shopping online usually saves money. One of the biggest advantages of shopping online is reading customer reviews. Customers’ evaluations can be very insightful and help you decide which shoes would best suit your needs.
No matter what style you decide upon, there is a slingback for you. The pros of this shoes are its versatility, its ease of slipping on and off, its stylishness, sexiness, proven comfort, modernity and display of fashion sense.
The cons of this shoe are few but worth examining. If the shoe doesn’t fit properly, the strap around the heel or back of the ankle can cause blistering or sore spots from rubbing against the skin. A flexible, stretching strap can sometimes alleviate the problem of this irritation to the skin. Strapback shoes used to be considered only for the summertime and only for casual occasions. If you will be attending an extremely formal event, or one where the dress code is of a more traditional, conservative nature, then it is best to avoid slingbacks. Also, workplaces will often have a closed-toe, no slingback policy In their dress codes.
Aside from these situations, slingbacks are an ideal shoes for almost any type of occasion during any season.
