Slides and tie-ups have to be some of MY most loved shoe styles ever.
Why?
It was probably because like many little girls, I fancied myself as a ballerina, laughable, really. It was never going to happen. Secondly, because I am a fan of the flat and when they slide on or lace around the ankles they add that little bit of extra detail to the foot. A slide on or mule is a very flattering form and the tie up adds that extra femininity to complete an outfit.
The slide and the tie make all the difference and it means that the heel can stay put, or behind or anywhere else but near our long-suffering toes. This season there are the prettiest slides and mules about so I think we should take advantage. Which is not to say I am relinquishing heels, not at all, just seizing an opportunity when I see one.
