Taraji Henson was spotted at the BET Awards (7/1) rocking sexy ankle tie shoes. Leave it to the spicy Taraji Henson to inspire a post about tie up shoes.

I have childhood memories that involve me walking out of my tie ups shoes. Actually, I should still have lines on my legs today from the tightness of the strings trying to keep them on but don’t let me stand between you and your next pair of tie up shoes.
