For ladies with a little more meat on their bones, especially around the ankles and calves, avoid heels with straps around the ankle. Stick with a classic pump with a thicker heel. Also, avoid round-toed shoes, and opt for pointy toes, instead. This creates an optical illusion that lengthens the leg.

For the slender-legged, pretty much anything will do, except long ankle wraps with a short dress, which will draw attention to thin calves. Don't want to look like you're walking on sticks. Instead, accentuate the foot itself with a bright, embellished shoe with rhinestones or bows.
