Amber revealed her fashion failure in a video on her TikTok page, as she said: “I found out today that I’ve been wearing these shoes wrong forever. I bought them for graduation at Zara.
“And I used them wrong and my sister said, ‘You know, you shouldn’t use them like that!'”
Amber then demonstrated how she was wearing the shoes – with the strap mid-foot.
Before showing how they should be worn – with the strap behind, passing over the heel.
Trying the right way, Amber was amazed: “Oh my God, and it really goes on!
“This is amazing!
“Who knew? Not me!”
Amber admitted she was “stunned” after making the discovery, saying: “Wow, I’m embarrassed!
“All the time I used them wrong.
“Did anyone else know this or is it just me?”
“On the other hand, I love these shoes,” she wrote in the video’s caption.
But many people in the comments section insisted they immediately knew how the shoes were meant to be worn — especially since they’re called “Slingback Shoes” in the name. Zara website.
“I don’t have them and I knew it,” one of them laughed.
“‘Who would say!’ – literally everyone,” added another.
“I thought it was common sense,” commented a third.
Why is Zara so popular?
Zara was founded in 1975 in Spain and the first UK store opened in 1998. It remains one of the most popular stores on the high street, but why?
Instead of producing more quantities of a style, Zara is said to focus on producing more styles.
Some statistics suggest that Zara launches 24 trend-led collections every year, 500 designs per week and almost 20,000 per year. Other estimates put its production levels at 450 million garments per year.
Even if a style sells out very quickly, there are new styles waiting to take its place. This means more options and greater chances of getting it right with the consumer.
Zara only allows its designs to remain on the factory floor for three to four weeks, which leads the consumer to continue visiting the store or website, as if it were delayed by just one week, clothes of a certain style or trend would be sold out and replaced by a new trend.
At the same time, this constant updating of the lines and styles of its stores also encourages customers to visit its stores more frequently.
“How come no one told you before?” someone said.
“How could you not know that haha?” another wondered.
However, other people defended Amber, with one writing: “It’s okay because they look beautiful the way you wore them too!”
“I use it the first way, but it hurts after hours and I transfer to the second version,” added another.
“Both work!”
“As someone who has never used a slingback, I thought the first way was also the right way,” commented a third.
“But now you have 2 pairs, sis!” someone said.
