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!

Lovely heels.
Love these.
So feminine! Love it!
They are all gorgeous!!!!
LOVE
Love how Nicole styled her pair.
Not loving this at all.
Oh great, torture implements back on trend. They offer no support and more stress than even regular stilettos. Humans have an average life expectancy of approx 80-90 years and much of that is old age, take care of your skeletons and musculature now ladies.
great!
Nicole is rocking them!
I really like those black and gold Miu Miu heels!
great style! bring it back!
Elin Kling & Nicole Warne are the epitomy of style.
Can’t handle these.
I do like them but I’d be worried (like what’s happening in the last photo) that my toes would fall out the end because there just isn’t enough support in the shoe
i like the red one
Love the gold beauties!
Would they make me look shorter tho?
oooh pretty…now back to exam study =.=
These look good – but I’d probably be only able to wear them for 5 minutes before my feet hurt too much!
Nice shoes, bit too cold yet though
love the shoes in the last photo
I honestly don’t like them.
they look good
but omg i hate feet
omg they are all so pretty i want them!
prettty!!!!
pretty but I would never be able to pull it off
LOVE!
the simple tony bianco’s are cute!
wow, love the shoes!
I always get stuck with trying to find the right type of strap that compliments my feet … it’s quite the mission findign the right style for the right feet.
Not liking strap heels..
Me neither
so gorgeous!
I don’t mind looking at them on others but I think that strap would annoy me personally.
Never thought i would step away from chunky heels but i LOVE this new trend! http://www.facebook.com/skylesbyjordana
WOW – I love the Miu Mius!

I need those ASOS Harlot’s in my life now!
