#3. Wearing the Right Shoes on any Occasion

 

We live such busy lives that we often overlook out  appearance especially when it comes to shoes. We even forget  what to wear in a particular gathering and what suits us  in order to look better. The same is the case with shoes.  People don’t have time to think what type of shoes is good  for this occasion and they even mostly forget that they have  to change their shoes. Because of this neglectful behavior  designers have made shoes that suits different occasions.  These versatile shoes make a person able to wear the same  shoes that match with their different outfits on different   occasions.

 

 

Today people are always in search for the types of versatile  shoes. They love to have shoes like these. This brings two  benefits. Firstly, such footwear costs less because they  purchase a less number of them. Secondly, they save the time  that they spend in finding and deciding on a specific shoe.

 

That’s why in the footwear market these shoes always sell  well. They can be worn on all the occasions, there are  different styles of these shoes and they also come in  different sizes so that all people can get the benefit.  Designers focus on the materials and also keep the budget  of the buyers in their mind so that people don’t find it  too expensive. Now let’s have a look at some tips that help  people to find the shoes that they can wear on all occasions:

 

•

People should try to find those shoes which their feet  remain comfortable in and that match their physical   appearance.

 

 

•

The purchase should be made from a reliable shop or  brand so that there remains no doubt regarding quality.

 

•

If you are purchasing shoes from another shop you must  check the material that is used in preparing them don’t   compromise on it.

 

 

•

Make sure that the shoes you are buying are not like  the ones have in your wardrobe because it will make your   purchase useless.

 

 

•

#4. Things to Consider before Buying Shoes

 

Start with trying on every pair of shoes. Do not let the  shop’s decor or expensive furnishings elude you. If the shop  is carpeted and classy it doesn’t necessarily mean that all  their items will be of good quality. If the seller tells  you about a really comfortable brand of heels, don’t believe  him until you have slipped your feet into them and propped  yourself up. Also, you should not settle for a pair of shoes  after trying them only on carpets.

 

Using carpets is an easy trick to make the customers feel  confident and comfy in stilettos. This is because carpets  have the ability to absorb shock and hence the usually bumpy  walk wouldn’t seem much of a trouble. Look for an uncarpeted  patch and walk on it for a sufficiently long distance to  ensure that purchasing this particular pair will not prove   to be a disaster.

 

 

Ladies should keep in mind that heel height isn’t all. You  need the shoes to be comfortable enough to be worn for at  least 3 hours at a time. For this, the shoe should have an  appropriate height of platform otherwise the balance will  be faulty and so will be the comfort level. Too high heels  with too low platforms tend to go against the laws of  gravity, causing extreme ankle joint discomfort and making   it dangerously unstable.

 

 

Also, the arches of the feet that tend to act as shock  absorbers suffer great stress, leaving feet hurting for  hours afterwards. All the famous shoe designers work on  proportion between platform and heels to make the product   both hot and wearable.

 

 

You need to pay great attention to the padding of the shoes.  Padding refers to the foot comforter that is placed on the  inside of shoes and makes your feet feel more comfortable  and at home. The ideal ones to use are the leather socks  so before purchasing any shoe, ask the sales person if it  has leather sock in it. If it doesn’t, it is highly suggested   that you take another pick.

 

 

Leather is expensive but will make your entire shoe look  elegant. Also, it doesn’t blacken that easily so you  wouldn’t feel embarrassed taking off your shoes and  exposing their insides in public. The most important  incentive provided by leather insoles is that leather  doesn’t stink! Walk around in gallant heels all summer, look  sexy and never worry about getting smelly feet!

 

 

#5. The Two Main Types of Shoe Shoppers

 

Shoes are such a topic that at times just talking about them  can produce the relaxed feeling that one is looking for.  It is not surprising that people who really like shoes feel  good when they are out shopping for their favorite items.  However, there are two categories of people when it comes  to picking the kind of shoes that one is going to wear. It  is important to understand the differences between the two.

 

There are people who are totally in love with their shoes.  These are the sort of people that are not just going to go  get any shoe but they are going to make sure that they have  all the aspects of the shoes covered. So next time you see  a customer in a shoe shop taking a while in picking the right  fit, color and design you should be able to tell the story   behind the activity.

 

 

This sort of shoe shopping is for the people who are going  to cherish their shoes for a very long time. They are not  going to do this by just keeping them wrapped in their boxes.  Be assured that these shoes are going to be used and worn  the way they are supposed to be. Each and every shoe is going  to have its own purpose and the owner is going to make sure   that they match the dress.

 

 

As can be seen from the explanation, these are the sort of  people who are going to invest not just their money but their  time and emotions into the selection of these shoes.  Therefore, they are going to be really attached to their  shoes. So this is not the category of people that you will  be seeing taking the wrong shoe to the wrong occasion.

 

On the other hand there is another category of people who  are not so interested in their shoes. In fact the theory  of shoe shopping for these people is totally different. They  are of the opinion that shoes just add to the compliment  of their rest of the attire and therefore as long as the  shoes that they pick are respectable enough, no one is going  to notice them much in the end. This is not a very on the  dot point of view but never the less, this is an opinion  that is out there and people use it to buy shoes that they   then use for all occasions.

Men and women are never an  exception to this. May it be an official visit or an  unofficial get together; shoes with a fine leather touch,  high heeled boots, and desert boots and so on are all highly   used by the end users.

 

 

One important point to be highlighted here is that each shoe  has its own look and appeal. They are to be provided to the  person who wears it. If it is a trekking shoe it provides  an adventurous look while if it is a casual wear shoe then  it provides a cool look. So when you get to step into any  footwear store or browse for one online, you can find any  number of shoes to choose from which will literally make  buyers go blurry-eyed not knowing which one to choose.

#8. The Importance of Quality When Buying Shoes

 

A very important part of your attire is the footwear which  you put on. If you are all dressed up for a specific occasion  and the shoes are not matching, the entire look is ruined.  This fact stands true for both men and women. Therefore,  while there are many differences when it comes to the tastes  and preferences, when it comes to the way men and women dress  up and to the shoes they wear, both the genders are equally   picky.

 

 

It is important that when shoes are being chosen, a number  of factors are kept in mind. The design and style of the  shoes is just one part of the list. The other important  factors include the quality and the cost of the shoes as  well. In case the design of the shoes is really good but  it is not backed with the right kind of quality to ensure  comfort and durability, that great design of the shoe has  very low value in the end. However, there are still people  who are willing to make such a trade and they do go behind  the design even if the quality is low. Such people are not  only wasting their hard earned money but they are also   buying discomfort.

 

 

An uncomfortable shoe is capable of ruining your entire  mood. The result will show during the whole day, in case  that is the duration of your wearing that shoe or during  the event for which you have picked it. So if the pros and  the cons are balanced out, in the end buying a shoe just  for its design is not worth it. Therefore, such an act should   be avoided.

 

 

In order for a shoe to be really good and serve the purpose  of being an all occasion’s shoe, it is important that it  has the right kind of quality. This should be the key  deciding factor when one is out shoe shopping. When this  factor is right in place, the result is that one can use  that shoe at many places. One sees many women wearing high  heels while they are out walking or on a regular day, the  reason that they are able to do this is because the comfort  of the shoe is top notch despite the heel and the same goes  for the dress shoes of the men, which they can wear for long  periods of time if the quality is of the right sort.

 

 

#9. The Importance of Multi-Purpose Shoes

 

There are shoes for every occasion. There are shoes that  are multi-purpose ones. Yes, a few shoes are designed in  such a way that they offer multi-purpose usage. The best  thing about these shoes is that a wearer can wear them with  different outfits and for different occasions. They no  longer have to buy shoes individually for every occasion.  These shoes have become popular as a buyer would be spending  less money and getting more in return. Of course, they are  targeted at a special category of people who perform  different activities in a single day and think investing  in these shoes is the best way to maximum their returns.

 

There are people who are ready to pay more for a specific  shoe model as long as it meets their requirements. The  reason behind this is the fact that certain shoes gel well  with specific attire. However, it is not the price that one  should look into but the quality of the product. Apart from  beauty, it is necessary that the shoes offer the best  companion to the outfit as well as the occasion. A few  multi-purpose shoes have the ability to add additional  accessories. This further improves the overall appearance  and brings out the maximum returns for an individual who  is looking forward to wearing these shoes.

 

One should be very careful when selecting such shoes. Though  they are meant for use on different occasions, they may not  suit all the outfits. Hence, one should understand the  technology in detail to check whether the shoes will offer  them the best way to dress for any occasion. With the right  pair of shoes, there is a possibility for the user to elevate  an ordinary dress and make it look more special. Going  through the models over the internet will provide an insight  into the design and the colors that are available in the   market.

 

 

Selecting the right multi-purpose shoes is essential for  any individual. Much of the information is available over  the internet. There is also a possibility to carry out a  comparison process to ensure that a user will come across  the right brand offering the best quality.

 

Style and comfort are important factors as well when  considering shoes. After listing down a few styles,  individuals can visit their local shoe store to check out  physically to ensure they are comfortable to wear. By  defining the parameters, there is a possibility for users  to come across the right model that suits both their   occasion and style requirement.

 

 

 

#10. The Category of Shoes that are for All Occasions

 

When it comes to fashion women have it a bit too easy. This  is especially true when it comes to the options that are  available to them in comparison to men. However, this is  where the easy part starts and it ends quite shortly as well.  From here on the road is not at all easy or comfortable in  any other manner that is out there in this category.

 

Now here we don’t have enough space to cover all the aspects  of fashion that women need to follow and give proper thought  to. The aspect that we are going to cover here will deal  with shoes alone. Also, this is the area where men have most  of the complaints with regards to the lack of options for   themselves.

 

 

For women the shoe options are plentiful. This is the reason  why the majority of them are crazy about shoes as well. The  range and the combinations of colors and styles are simply  amazing if nothing else. However, when it comes to the  selection part that is where the test starts to kick in.

 

To choose from a collection that you are shown by the  shopkeeper and you have to pick a couple of them only, while  you really want to take all of them home is quite difficult.  This is not a very easy decision making process that women  are faced with and this is something that they have to face  quite often, whenever they are out shopping.

 

The key to success here is for the buyer to pick those shoes  that they can use in many different occasions as well. As  stated earlier, women have a lot of choice when it comes  to option in their shoes. If they were given the unlimited  budget that most wish that they could get they would be more  than happy to take all the available shoes in their size  home. However, this does not happen in the real world. To  keep within the appointed budget, it is important that those  shoes be picked that can serve you well in many different  occasions depending on the choice of your career and your   social life.

 

 

This common ground needs to be taken with respect to the  options of colors that are used and the styles that are used  as well. Added to this the comfort level of the shoe needs   to be determined as well.

 

 

 

#11. The Best Dress Shoes for a Woman

 

Women love shoes. They watch out for new arrivals and trendy  designs for their outfits. They also shop for the right  product according to a specific location. Shoes are an  important finishing touch to an outfit. The advancement of  technology has made it possible for manufacturing companies  to come out with a pair of shoes for every occasion. It  becomes a nightmare for a purchaser to select the right  product from the numerous models available in the market.  Looking for elegant and affordable shoes is a tedious task  for a buyer. The reason behind this is the fact that they  are often confused when it comes to selection.

 

Most women opt for a pair of stiletto-heeled sandals as they  find them to be elegant for any dress. These sandals are  specially designed in such a way that they help the wearer’s  legs to look longer. It is also important that the wearer  does not cover the sandals. It is necessary to select the  right height of the heel. However, one should be very  careful in selecting the model as they should feel  comfortable and convenient reading a specific height of the  sandal. This depends upon the occasion and the movement that  one would be performing at the venue.

 

For example, if the occasion is an elegant dinner at a  restaurant, there is not much difference. Under such  conditions, there is a possibility for the individual to  buy high-heeled sandals that work perfectly with a dress.  The choice also depends on the colour and the design of the  dress.

The Internet is the best medium to  look at all the models that are currently available in the  market. It also provides information on new arrivals, their   quality and price.

 

 

High heeled sandals are good for elegant occasions when a  woman does not have to move a lot. They also enhance the  overall appearance of the wearer. Girls and women who love  to look sexy can opt for these models. Yet again, the product  should be selected according to the occasion. It is also  important that the wearer should feel comfortable with  heels.
