Designed with Perfection by Heel & Buckle

High heels are fashionable, but uncomfortable, and can even lead to chronic foot damage. At first glance, it doesn't make sense to favor footwear which harm and hurt feet, plus render it difficult to run from ancient and modern predators.

But if wearing high heels makes women more attractive, allowing them to be choosier over a larger number of higher quality males competing for their attention, this could explain the evolutionary advantages of this fashion statement.

As women normally walk differently from men, high heels may help exaggerate the particularly feminine aspects of gait. What these shoes do is make women walk even more like women.

Women love heels because they can transform your outfit and lift your mood. It’s a confidence thing – the same feeling as when you have a new haircut. You feel good about your look. Because shoes are accessories, we dare to try styles that are more decorative and expressive than we might with clothes. Heel & Buckle has variety of high heels, in fact there is a collection of new designer heels for women which is exciting!

The leather strap shoe is one of the most enduring footwear styles of all time. Classy yet fashionable, they can be slipped on and off and are perfect for the lace-adverse gentleman. The finely crafted nature of the strap lends it a dash of formality with a sophisticated note. Meanwhile, the straps themselves add a tone of playfulness to any outfit. 

These leather strap shoes for men emerged into society during the 20th century, undergoing a few stylistic changes. However, it wasn’t until the mid-2000s that the footwear item entered the fashion world’s collective consciousness. Today, the monk strap is known as a savvy dress shoe, almost entirely ditching its manual labor roots.
