Square-toe shoes are more often associated with formal footwear for guys, but in recent months, designers have embraced the flat front for women’s strappy heels, cool mules and classic boots. If Instagram is anything to go by — these punchy designs from by Far, Mansur Gavriel and Rejina Pyo have been flooding our feed — there’s plenty of love going around for these roomy designs that won’t pinch at your toes like pointed pairs would.
For a ’90s throwback, slip on the strappy square-toe heel — a design often worn by the likes of Sarah Michelle Gellar, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears on the red carpet back in the day — with what else but, a slinky slip dress. For the everyday, boots and cropped wide-legged pants will seal the deal.
The PVC strap and circular heel plays up a quirky ensemble.
