T-strap heels

Barred formal footwear

T-strap heels are women's shoes with a raised heel and a distinctive strap configuration: one strap runs vertically from the toe area to meet a horizontal strap around the ankle, forming a T shape.

The design provides more support than an open pump while showing off the foot.

Popular since the 1920s, they appear in both vintage and contemporary styles: She wore T-strap heels with her flapper dress.
