slingbacks
Open-heeled shoes
Slingbacks are women's shoes with a strap that wraps around the back of the heel rather than enclosing it.
The design offers more security than a mule while remaining open and elegant, making slingbacks popular for dressy occasions: She wore black slingbacks with her cocktail dress.
