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!

I love those shoes.

Altimate · 27/02/2017 12:26

I had a similar pair, they had a transparent toe post - you sort of put your big toe in first and the top strap hid it. Remarkably comfy, if you can wear toe post sandals. I loved them. And she looks amazing.

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 27/02/2017 12:26

There's a little bit that comes up at the back of the heel.

HemanOrSheRa · 27/02/2017 12:27

I think they are Gucci sandals. I can't see them on the Gucci UK website.

Please could you post a link to the similar pair. I'm still mystified.
Do you mean a straight toe post connecting the sole of the shoe to the strap? Or a loop for the big toe?

And I still don't see how it would help because the strap is below the bunion line. Like if you had a flip flop (with a toe post) but the only straps were below the bunion line I can't see how they would stay on?

She does look amazing!

Looking at the pictures lots of actresses have toes on show & no pedicures. I hate feet so would never have mine on show without nail varnish!

CheersMedea · 27/02/2017 12:33

Is that her husband ? He doesn't look well

Yeah it's the mental stress of wondering how her shoes are staying on. Made him feel quite queezy. The strain 'n all.

I hate most feet but I think hers look fine and isn't she wearing white nail polish?

SerialCerealKiller · 27/02/2017 12:35

Horrible feet? There's nothing wrong with her feet!

I vote magic

ElspethFlashman · 27/02/2017 12:37

I imagine they're an old pair of Gucci's. Cos they're only doing ankle strap ones this year.

That toe ring has literally been on her toe for 15 years. Bleeeuuurgh.

HemanOrSheRa · 27/02/2017 12:38

I don't like feet. I have a big problem sitting through DS's taekwondo training sessions because of all the feet. Bleurgh. Jennifer's are lovely. Fabulous legs too.

I think she looks gorgeous but always do kind of wonder why she never gets gets her hair 'done'. It's always the same.

greedygorb · 27/02/2017 12:41

It's the non shoe shoe. I think she does it to make her legs look longer. She's quite short - 5' 4. She's nearly exactly the same age as me and the same height. I like to think that's me in the parallel universe where I'm 3 stone lighter and have amazing hair.

I hate toe rings with a passion. They are so lower class chavtastic - and always seem a bit manky to me. Just think of how dirty bare feet get in normal flip flops - and all the gunk collecting around a toe ring.

I don't see the point of them either. They don't improve the look of feet in a way say that a ring can do on fingers or earrings can by bringing light to the face.

However, she looks lovely so I don't think anyone is looking at her toe ring.

God that woman gets more beautiful every day

And she's got beautiful hair

Sewingbeatshousework · 27/02/2017 12:45

I've got a -very cheap- pair similar design I think, low heal though so not sure if that helps keep them on? I'll try look them out make sure I'm not talking crap...

Elendon · 27/02/2017 12:47

My very honest opinion is it's an awful look. Her feet age have aged her and the dress was a disaster. She was not in fashion high stakes.

I love her hair and think she is a great and much overlooked actress.

There is a strap at the back, zoom in on the right photo on your second link. You can see a strap through the cloth.

Goldenhandshake · 27/02/2017 12:50

Her toe looks very red in the pic Theonlylivingboyinnewcork posted, so my guess is they are very bloody tight.
