Slingback Heels for Women | Black & Nude

The strap is the design

Everything about a slingback comes down to where that strap sits. Too low and it slides under the heel. Too high and it catches the Achilles. Cut correctly it crosses just above the heel bone and holds the foot without you noticing it is there, which is the whole point of the shoe.

An adjustable buckle or an elastic section is the detail to look for, particularly if you have narrow heels. The open back is what makes the shape work through a warm day, where a closed court turns into an endurance test by three in the afternoon.

The office shoe that does not look like one

A black slingback does the job of a court shoe with about half the formality, which is exactly what most workplaces now want. In leather the shape reads structured, in suede it turns softer, and nude lengthens the leg under a dress without announcing itself.

Toe shape sets the register. Pointed heels sharpen the whole silhouette, while a rounded or almond toe sits easier across the forefoot for a long day. For the same open back with none of the height, flat slingbacks cover it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do slingback heels slip off?

A: Not if the strap sits correctly. It should cross just above the heel bone rather than under it, and an adjustable buckle lets you set the tension. Narrow heels are the usual cause of slipping, and an elasticated strap generally solves it.

Q: Are slingback heels suitable for work?

A: Yes, in most workplaces. A closed pointed toe with a block or kitten heel in black or nude leather reads as professional, and the open back keeps the shoe wearable through a warm day at a desk.

Q: What is the difference between a slingback and a mule?

A: A slingback has a strap around the back of the heel that holds the foot in place. A mule has nothing behind the heel at all and stays on through the fit of the front. Slingbacks are the more secure of the two for walking.

Q: How should slingback heels fit?

A: The foot should sit fully on the sole with no overhang at the front, and the strap should feel firm without digging in. If the strap is fixed rather than adjustable, check that it holds the heel when you walk before committing to the size.

For pre-Christmas delivery, Australian orders should be placed before 17th of December, and New Zealand orders before 10th of December.
