How? Just How?

It's a tiny strap that rests below her bunion/big toe joint and you'd think the shoe would just fall off as she walked....

Someone explain it to me please!

No idea but she looks incredible. Smile

Floggingmolly · 27/02/2017 11:47

Are there transparent straps anywhere?

HelenaWay · 27/02/2017 11:47

Is there another strap at the back?

DoubleR · 27/02/2017 11:47

A heel strap?

StereophonicallyChallenged · 27/02/2017 11:48

Must be glue!! I've never heard of such a thing but have thought about super glueing my own weddingy-type sandals before now 😂

BoreOfWhabylon · 27/02/2017 11:49

She's had long metal spikes implanted into her heel bones.

The heels of her shoes are hollow and the spikes are slid into them.

Simples.

Maudlinmaud · 27/02/2017 11:50

Has to be a heel strap. Has to be.

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 27/02/2017 11:50

I assume she had some body tape left over. She wouldn't quite have used a whole roll to keep that stunning dress decent!

CheersMedea · 27/02/2017 11:51

No - it doesn't look like there are any other straps at all.

It is magic!

I am rather in awe because you'd think if you had to do the "walk on the stage" in front of all the world thing, you'd want shoes you'd be damn sure were going to stay on.

I've hear of slebs using tit tape on mules but still - that shoe would need industrial amounts.

It is a magic shoe.

I wondered that too, but thought that there must be some girly secret that a female who lives in flat boots and Converse wouldn't know about!

TheOnlyLivingBoyinNewCork · 27/02/2017 11:51

They have to be stuck on at the sole and heel, there are not other straps at all.

ElspethFlashman · 27/02/2017 11:52

I'm not being funny but why was she presenting? Have I had a brain fart and missed a movie she was in??

wobblywonderwoman · 27/02/2017 11:55

She looked amazing!!!

TheOnlyLivingBoyinNewCork · 27/02/2017 11:59

She was in 3 movies in 2016. None of them up for Oscars, but still, 3 more than any of I'm guessing!

diddl · 27/02/2017 12:10

double sided tape?

HappyFlappy · 27/02/2017 12:11

Araldite.

Must be.

She's a very attractive woman, but what horrible feet!

JonesyAndTheSalad · 27/02/2017 12:11

Foot muscles!

HateSummer · 27/02/2017 12:13

What's the point of those shoes? She might as well have been shoeless.

Gaaaah · 27/02/2017 12:13

Tit tape?

NapQueen · 27/02/2017 12:14

She always wears those type of shoes with the tiny strap across the toes but I didnt realise there was no otger strap!!

ElspethFlashman · 27/02/2017 12:16

She's been wearing those shoes since the Friends days. Shes nothing if not a creature of habit. They have a slingback. She wears the nude version a ton too.

I don't like them at all, I think they make everyone's toes look a bit knobbly.

They come up a little bit around the heel keeping them secure.

Yes but normally they have an ankle strap or more strappy strapps over the upper foot.

This is totally strap free. We need to work out who made this shoe and then look at it on the designers website.

I am obsessed by this mystery that defies all known laws of science.

Newton is probably spinning in his grave around a gravitational axis.
