Slingback Heels

Slingback heels hold without gripping: an open back and a strap around the heel make them lighter than a pump, cooler in summer and easier to walk in. This edit runs from flat slingbacks to sculpted evening heels, including the three split toe slingbacks nobody else makes. How to style them by garment and occasion, and the fix for a slipping strap, is in how to style slingback heels.

Slingback heels

Mirelle Black Slingback Heels keep it plain: a squared-off toe, a deep V vamp and a mid heel in a crinkled patent-look finish. Nerissa Slingback Sandal Heels open the toe and set it on a sculpted, arched heel for events. Margot Mary Jane Slingback Pumps put a mary jane strap and a cut-out heel on a square toe slingback.

Tabi slingbacks

Claudia Tabi Slingback Heels and Daria Black Tabi Slingback Heels put the split toe on a slingback heel; Claudia tabi slingback flats - Black is the flat twin, same patent finish and strap, no height. The full split toe heel edit is in tabi heels.

Slingback sandals and flats

Vera Buckle Slingback Sandals are the buckle slingback sandals: sharp square toe, low sculptural lift, black or leopard. Prima Lace-Up Ballerina Heels wrap satin ribbons around the ankle for the balletcore version.

How to wear slingbacks

Jeans cropped or cuffed at the ankle bone so the strap shows; cigarette trousers for the office; midi skirts and column dresses for weddings; tailored shorts in summer. A sheer black sock under a black slingback is the preppy version; tabi slingbacks take split toe socks or sheer tights only. See also kitten heels and pumps and vegan sandals.
