DEAR REDDIT, I’M GOING TO HAVE THE BESTEST NEW YEAR’S EVE THANKS TO MY STRAPPY SHOES THAT’LL MAKE ANY FOOT FETISHIST EJACULATE WITH GLEE.

Strappy open toe sandals are the must wear shoes to ring in 2010. So sayeth the Gods of Gabardine. New Year’s Eve is the one “dead of winter" day where you can sport this summery look without it being considered a fashion faux pas.

Go retro chique with a pair of vintage 1980s Phyllis Poland strappy rainbow colored slingback high heel sandals for $65 @ etsy.com

Get your freak on with an open toe faux lizard print sandal with a zipper back, 5 inch heel, strappy front and a 1 1/2 inch upper platform. Only $39.99 at the Electrique Boutique.

Count down to 12 with a little help from 6pm.com and DKNY’s sexy sling-backs with a peep toe for $146.05
