it's fabulously manly to show a bit of leg, so hiding less-than-shapely ankles under long bulky legs is not always an option
if you are going to show them off, it is best to avoid certain shoe styles and stick to others
avoid…
pointy flats – the thinness of the point makes your ankle look stumpy
high ankle straps – enclosing your ankle will draw attention to it
choose…
loafers or clogs – the more substantial the shoe, the more in proportion it will look.
shoes with chunky heels – wedges and stacked heels will help balance the broadness of your ankle.
finally, avoid tapered pants and pants cropped at the ankle – they are like spotlights on an area that you would prefer not to highlight
