Ankle Bow Beauties

In a season full of block heels, cork platforms, wedges and all-round chunky shoes, it's nice to see some designers haven't forgotten that some of us still like our heels spindly and neck-breakingly high. This sandal from Steven by Steve Madden has all the drama of a chunky shoe thanks to the detail on the ankle (avoid this if your legs aren't up to the challenge) but with a more feminine shape. Add a wedge to this and it would be a disaster. As it is, if you like drama it's $110 well spent.
