Trend How-To: Simple Strap Heels

If you are an avid blog stalker you will have noticed a trend moving away from chunky heels or heavy shoes and back to the elegant, simple strap heel, that in my opinion, is one of the most flattering styles.

For those of you with an outdoorsy or active lifestyle, open strappy shoes might seem like the last thing on the agenda, but what is the fun of fashion if not wildly impractical and a little crazy from time to time?!

But – a word of caution: shoes like these ones below can definitely cause a little foot pain. So for that, you might want to invest in a pair of shoe inserts for when you are wearing regular shoes. Protalus offers all kinds of high quality options that can help alleviate different conditions like heel spurs.

In the meantime, check out our shopping guides for some variation’s on the trend, and here’s hoping there are enough sunny days to break these out of the closet!
