Grown women wear what they want to wear.

This^. If grown women can self assault their feet with stilettos, they sure can wear comfortable shoes without regard for fashion police's approval.

I don't like that look but grown women can make their own choices without mine or yours approval.

The current version has a strap higher up in the instep. It’s actually really practical and comfortable. I’m a fan.

+1. They're very unflattering and make legs look short and chunky.


Maybe your legs look short. I am all leg, so I find that shoes with a strap under the ankle or across the foot bring me back into visual proportion. T-strap Mary James are even better.



I love t-straps! They're harder to find than maryjanes. I have disproportionately long legs and love when they have a style moment.
