Ankle straps for 2009

text via:fashionising

What: One style that will pop up often in 2009 is the sky-high heel with straps around the ankle. Gucci's amazing platform shoe with triple ankle strap is the epitome of the look.

Seen on: Gucci, Oscar De La Renta, Pucci.

Verdict: Any shoe that stops at the ankle has a tendency to shorten the leg; so while tall girls can pull it off, others should be careful. If you do decide to try it, stick to the super-high heel and it will balance out the look.
