If you want a shoe that's going to keep your foot supported and still look fashion forward, you've got to go with a slingback [1]. The style has made something of a comeback since Chanel revived its iconic two-toned slingback [2] in 2015. Since then, brands like Topshop and Balenciaga have been getting in on the action. But why a slingback, versus a standard flat? Well, the heel strap keeps your foot from sliding around too much, which we can always get on board with. Whether you're looking for a barely there strap or one that's thick enough to ensure you'll be blister-free, we've got you covered.
These 12 selections are the pairs everyone's going to be buying now and wearing all through Fall. The sexy, strappy styles [3] are perfect for hot Summer days, and they work just as well when you want to feel a bit more together, maybe at work or for a party. We found picks you could wear to the beach or a black-tie event. The options are endless, and now all you have to do is shop!
