T-strap shoes employ a rather creative design to keep your footwear in place: the t-strap comes up to the ankle and then wraps around to keep everything snug and secure. Favored by dancers and those on the go, these shoes were a darling on the pages of fashion mags from bygone ages. When worn in light-colored leather or fabric, you'll have a certain vintage air, but rest assured that you can also grab t-strap flats and heels in ultra-modern techno fabrics and designs to suit a wardrobe in the now. This particular style of shoe is not recommended for those with a heavy ankle or calf, because it adds slight width to the area one would rather not highlight.
