ankle straps
Heel-securing shoe bands
Ankle straps are bands that wrap around the ankle to secure footwear—common on sandals, heels, and some athletic shoes.
The strap keeps the shoe from slipping off and adds visual detail: She buckled the ankle straps on her wedges.
In fitness contexts, ankle straps are padded cuffs that attach to cable machines for leg exercises.
