As for how to wear them, slip on a pair of slingback heels with a dress for an effortless (and comfortable) evening look, or slip on a flat pair of slingback sandals with your day dresses for an easy everyday option.

How should slingback shoes fit?

There are two important elements to look for when fitting slingback shoes, the shoe itself should not be too loose, as this can cause your feet to slip in and out causing painful blisters. Usually, you should be able to adjust the slingback to fit your foot, just make sure that the strap is not too tight around your heel as this can cause your toes to be squashed into the shoe. It is important to note where your foot fits with the shoe, make sure your heel is not hanging over the back of the shoe and your toes are not pressed against the front of your shoe.
