That would be a real headache for a commited foot-fetishist, Nomad.

A little rain? There are 4 feet of snow, literally, where I am now and it doesn't slow me down.

Or was this some sort of innuendo about trampling?

i would definitely do 1. thin straps are always better than thick. if you had more options i would say less bulky, lighter, thinner.

Why am I not surprised that you'd say this?

I don't always want to look like I'm at a wedding reception, I just already have a bunch of gladiator pumps and sandals, not as many stillettos.

They look kinda great which is why I'd be wary, exactly. If in doubt go for plain or ragga, no in betweens.

I had to jack in my tasteful wool and sailor thing ( last year's schott charity shop jacket! ) cos a shop opened up in trendtown selling everything I'd been wearing ( no joke! ) so I'm rocking early 90s hiphop now. So I vote for anything that looks Versayce. Never goes out of fashion, never comes into fashion.

Except yer Italian, innit? It might mean something different.

PS I think you must look great in 90s hiphop. Mike used to have these really great pro-Ked hi tops that were remakes of the originals that were awesome.

because i have an informed, refined, and sophisticated sense of aesthetics and personal style?

(not because i like anorexic women, which i don't. thin straps also look better on chubster girls)

Those masked hoody things make you look like you think you're in Slipknot or something.

Nope, because you're a straight guy. It is very typical for straight men to like the super girly looking shoes that they'd sell at like Victoria's Secret.

Personally I think ultra-thin straps look a little too South Beach at best, at worst they look like a woman over 40 trying to look young. I really don't like Jimmy Choo at all. I also hate Manolo Blahnik.

This looks like someone who is very into dubstep would wear it. It also looks like someone who is very into rubber/latex fetish would wear it.

I dunno, surely that increases the risk of the straps digging in, thus causing the notorious 'bulge' effect to either side? Not really a great look...

I like how's there's either anorexic thin or chubby, no in-betweens!

The bulge effect is known as the "muffin top" over here. I think you need to be careful with stillettos, if you're over a certain size you might start to look like an elephant with a toothpick strapped to your foot.

Anyone who actually has refined taste knows that this is the most coveted pump of the year:

gift to myself this winter was a pair of teal suede boots by Sisley. TEAL! my favorite color!

couldn't find a picture but kind of the male version of this but without the decorative bits - totally minimal:
