I also think that 'less is more' ... the more foot-flesh that is exposed , the better for me. Any kind of open-toed shoe works for me ... love 'em! With that said , any shoe that doesn't show off toes BUT exposes a healthy dose of 'toe-cleavage' drives me nuts , also. Another style that sends me through the roof are those designer boots that cover the entire foot/leg but still expose the toes & heels! I love that! It's like , 'I'm going through all the trouble of covering the rest of my foot , but THESE parts gotta be free!'
