Excuse? Said “Lobster claw” shoes are actually known as Armadillos. Alexander McQueen, Plato’s Atlantis S/S 2010.
Look it up
crankycrafter: Actually the Armadillos are popularly known by everyone as “Lobster Claw Shoes”. And in your immortal words:

DIY Interchangeable Transparent Plastic Shoe Straps Tutorial from Gloriously Chic here. If your shoes are too big or you don’t think the plastic ankle straps look comfortable this is an easy option using velcro.

There are various thicknesses so you can use this material for clutches, necklaces etc… Also check out Gloriously Chic’s popular ribbon laceup shoes done 2 ways here.
