A shoe is not only a design, but it's a part of your body language, the way you walk. The way you're going to move is quite dictated by your shoes. Christian Louboutin couldn't have said it better. And I am sure every girl knows this. Whether you fancy feminine pink heels, or a fierce pair of metallic gladiators, nothing shows them off better than sassy straps. From a casual stroll at the beach to girls' night out on the town, there are strappy sandals for every occasion.

With straps that reach across the foot and around the ankle, the strappy design has many variations. Consider the width of the straps before choosing a design because thin straps can make the feet look larger. Shoes with embellishments, such as jewelled straps, add a layer of camouflage for those who want to try the style without revealing too much of their feet.

Like a kid in a candy store, the vast range of the savvy shoes at Hundred Pairs will have you wanting everything in sight. So go freshen up the polish on your toes and go get your perfect 'solemate'.
