t-straps

Letter-shaped shoe fasteners

T-straps are shoes with a strap running vertically from the toe area to meet a horizontal ankle strap, forming a T shape.

The design appears most often in women's dress shoes and children's shoes, offering more security than a simple ankle strap while leaving much of the foot exposed: She wore vintage t-straps to the wedding.
