3 Flats That Make You Look 10 Years YOUNGER & 3 You Should Avoid

3 Flats That Make You Look 10 Years YOUNGER & 3 You Should Avoid There is one measurement on a flat shoe that decides almost everything, and nobody selling you shoes will ever mention it. It is not the heel, the size or the price. It is how much of the top of your foot the shoe leaves showing — the vamp. Cut high, and the eye hits a hard line early and reads your leg as ending there. Cut low, and it runs all the way to the toe. On the same woman, in the same trousers, that difference is one to two inches of apparent leg. Which is why flats never made anyone look shorter. High, heavy, closed-in flats did, and the two got confused about forty years ago. Here are three that get it right, three that do not, and the four-second test for every pair you own.
