I have heard that they make your legs shorter so if you have short legs you shouldn't wear them. I tried a couple of styles and they were not flattering but I don't know if it was that style in particular. Is there an exception to that rule? Maybe with certain clothes? please help I know I shouldn't force an unflattering style but maybe you can help me.





thaks everyone for answering

There are no rules. If you like them, wear them.

those are so CUTE!


I'm short too, and the trick is that you have to get them to have like a "v", it's elongating. You know like girls have a "vee-neck?" it's like the same thing at the top of the sandals, it makes a line going down! =)
Reply:Wide [ 1/2 inch or more ] ankle straps do not flatter very thin, heavy, or short legs.


Try some narrow strapped sandals, like the ones on the serpent sandal - the skinny straps will work on everyone!


Avoid the 'fat' straps, like the ones on the 'ub' sandal.
