compare these 2 high heeled sandals:

the ankle strap on the white model seems like a good choice: it’s low enough for the feet to slide in and wont touch the leg, meaning nothing constrains the ankle’s rotation.

the red model seems like an odd choice: won’t it make it ankle rotation more cumbersome? It would be more logical to attach the ankle strap to the foot and not the leg. Or am I missing something?

It also looks strange, having an ankle strap so high. Why would the designer attach the strap right at the end of the slingback and not in the middle, like in the white model?

    It seems so strange to me that you’re focused on straps and ignoring the heels. There’s nothing about either of those shoes that make any sense.

      Yeah I think my ankles would need to be positioned differently on my body to wear either of these shoes. Ergonomics aren’t always considered in shoes, and these appear to be focused on fashion rather than supporting foot health.
