BEAUTIFUL SHOES FOR THIN ANKLES

BEAUTIFUL SHOES FOR THIN ANKLES

For those with thin ankles…

…will look like trees stuck in concrete in clumpy shoes such as Birkenstock clogs. Even a ballet flat will appear to swamp the foot, and large details, such as flowers, tend to overpower a thin ankle.

    * If you wear an open-backed shoe, it needs to be a thong sandal so the flow of your legs isn't broken.
    * Pointed toes finish off the ankle in a less jarring way than a round toe.
    * Any detail in the front of the shoe should be delicate.

If you have thin ankles…

…beware of hefty heels. They dominate the shoe, make your feet look enormous and exaggerate the skinniness of your ankles.

More elegant heels will allow the wearer to show off her ankles to the best advantage without the shoes detracting from them and drawing too much attention to your feet.

MY THOUGHTS

"shoes like trees stuck in concrete"!  what i way to put it.  it conjures a very, uh, unpalatable (?) image.  i don;t recall sewing anybody with thin ankles and chunky feet.  so, it's the beautiful shoes.  choose well, then.
