Pursuant to personal trends, having the need and/or desire to wear heels over an extended period of time, often I find it necessary to rely on an ankle strap to aid in keeping pumps snugly in place. Hence, with the combined looks of black patent heels, the Pleaser Seduce-431 Ankle-Strap Pumps fit the bill. Trendy or not, after some time in such stilettos, either my feet swell, or they don't; and, either the upper material expands, or it doesn't, either way, heels can feel not only uncomfortable, but sloppy about my feet. The solution for going that extra mile, or city block is credited to the ankle straps keeping the shoe--once again--snugly in place.
