Ankle strap shoes and sandals not only add a bit of fun to your outfit, they add a whole lot of sex appeal. For a few of the season's hottest styles in ankle straps, check out these top picks.
Easily one of my favorite styles of the season, these ankle strap sandals feature very wearable .75" heels, wide ankle straps and a chic thong design. Perfect for pairing with nearly any casual item in your closet, these low-heeled sandals come in so many great color combinations, choosing a favorite would be impossible.
More than just an ankle strap, this sexy evening sandal has a full-fledged
ankle wrap, that is very dynamic indeed. But as striking as that is, it's not even close to being the most impressive feature of these shoes -- that distinction would have to go to the chunky ball chain t-strap. The leopard print is fun, the black is beautiful, but it's the hot orange version of these stiletto sandals that really sets my heart aflutter.
Why settle for one ankle strap when you could have so many? These sexy Steve Madden sandals have more straps than I care to count, but suffice it to say, there are enough to get the job done. But the best news about these high heeled sandals is, there's not a buckle in sight; entry is gained via a sultry back zipper.
Combining front coverage and braided uppers, these ankle strap shoes are a bit more flattering than many, because the ankle strap is cut a little lower in front, which helps counter that dreaded "leg-thickening" effect. Available in white, natural, or a multi-citrus combination, these sandals are incredibly hot, and feature 4.75" stacked stiletto heels, with 1" platform soles.
A bold variation on ankle straps, cuff sandals and collar sandals are among the hottest and most divisive trends of the season. But if you're going to jump on the collar sandal bandwagon, these flat thongs would make a great choice. I love the luxurious suede uppers, and the leather belts help break up the collars a bit. The taupe version is great because light neutrals are so hot right now, but I have to say, I actually might prefer these sandals in black.
Featuring 4" metallic heels and ultra-sexy uppers, these ankle strap shoes will turn heads for sure, and given the bold, traffic-stopping design, I'd pair them with a simple short dress, and let the shoes do all the talking. Available in sand or black, these Sergio Zelcer sandals are made in Brazil.
While shoes like these play perfectly into the season's hot 'bohemian' trend, they're so timelessly glamorous that they don't even need trends on their side. With elaborate beading and crystal accents, these ankle strap sandals feature 4.25" stiletto heels and brown and turquoise uppers.
