Before I explain the reasoning behind this particular "rule", I would like to add a brief disclaimer that I don't necessarily agree with this wisdom. My mother would probably like me to point out that it doesn't come from her either; this particular gem came straight from the mouth of my Nan (and grandmothers' have their funny ways, right?)
So, why should you never wear shoes with an ankle strap? Because, apparently, it will make you look like a lady of the night...
The reasoning is more than a little dubious, and I'm sure it made us laugh when she said it.
It doesn't stop me remembering it every time I try on a pair of ankle-strap shoes, though.
