Tomboys, turn your heads! Or at least keep your eyes on the front of these shoes. The back is where things take a turn for the girly. But a pop of fluffed-up ribbon, whether satin, grosgrain, or leather, at your heels doesn’t mean your feet should look like Little Bo Beep. Inject enough edge into the rest of the shoe, and you’ll make a powerful statement.
