I think they notice, it's just they cant keep their straps off up because they slip so frequently so end up giving up and walking on top of them. I know some people who stop wearing that pair of shoes as soon as this begins to happen but others persist in wearing them even with the straps constantly slipping. There's an interesting psycholog to that, I'd love to know more about.

Hi Mira and Chino,

Why some women don’t use the straps of their slingbacks?

My wife (and some of her friends, but not all !) has several pairs of mules; elegant and classic, and she can walk all day in these shoes.
Mules are easy to put on; just put your foot in and walk away, no need to bent over and fix a heelstrap with one hand or both hands.
She also has several pairs of slingbacks ( with straps of course); With high heels and with lower comfortable heels. When my wife is in a hurry, or she doesn’t have her hands free, she slips into her slingbacks as if it were her mules, walking on both straps. There is no difference for her.
Does she adjust the straps? That depends on the situation;
In the car she usually pulls up the straps,
walking to the shops in our neighborhood she leaves the straps under her feet because she has no free hands while carrying the shopping bags.
When a strap slides down her heel it’s the same story:
Sometimes she pulls up the strap waiting by the curbs, sometimes she ignores them all day.
When visiting family or friends, or going out to eat, my wife always chooses one of her more classic high-heeled slingbacks with the straps neatly pulled up, but during the evening she will let the straps slide down her heels, again using them as mules.
My wife occasionally receives comments about her shoes;
Some women find it strange why she doesn’t use the straps; Usually these are the same women who cannot walk in mules.
My conclusion: it’s all about comfort and convenience.

Particularly when I've seen some women in d'orsay flats that are pretty much like flip flops and quite obviously worn to death. When they chose those shoes to wear that day knowing they're way too loose. I'd like to know how that feels and what's behind that choice.

Chino I want to know why women keep wearing loose shoes/flats/slingbacks but in the same time I want to keep this part of mystery. We have the same attraction for slipping slingbacks and I want this feeling never die.
I read your stories on HHplace and I enjoyed them so much
