SLINGBACKS: The flat backless shoes set to be a summer hit
Flat slingback shoes, also known as backless shoes, have established themselves as an essential staple thanks to their balance of elegance and comfort.
Their distinctive feature is the back strap that wraps around the heel, leaving the rest of the back of the foot exposed.
Many versions include a small elastic insert or a side buckle to prevent the strap from slipping while walking.
By exposing the heel, they create a more continuous visual line that elongates the leg, even in flat styles.
They are considered “flat” when the height ranges from completely flat styles to around 3 or 4 centimeters. Fine, flat Kitten Heels add a retro and sophisticated touch without the discomfort of a stiletto.
They also feature block heels, which offer greater stability for everyday use or long working days.
The design of the front part defines the style of the shoe. The pointed toe-end is the most formal and classic option, helping to elongate the silhouette, while the square toe-end is a trend inspired by the 1990s that provides more room for the toes and a more modern feel.
One of the classic styles within this line is the model popularized by Chanel, which typically combines a dark-colored toe-end, such as black, with the rest of the shoe in a neutral tone, such as beige.
