SHOES FOR THICK ANKLES

For those with thick ankles…
…flat shoes with a thin toe make the ankle look even stumpier. A high ankle strap strangles the ankle, and a low kitten heal is in danger of looking like it's going to snap under your weight.
A more substantial shoe looks in proportion to a more substantial ankle:
* A chunky loafer is a good choice.
* A simple thong lends much-needed length to a thick ankle.
* Clogs and mules are a thick ankle's best friend.
For those with thick ankles…
…slingbacks with kitten heels and mules with a thin heel will both look like you have squashed a large leg into a tiny shoe.
If you wear a pump, make sure the heel comes straight down from the base of the shoe, which will give your ankle some shape.
* A slingback can look good with a high, sturdy heel.
* A heavy heel on a wedge mule will make your ankles appear thinner.
MY THOUGHTS
i don't like clogs. but i like loafers and i tolerate thongs. so, not a problem.
