On no account should you try on half a pair of the footwear believing or assuming that the other half will conform when you eventually try it afterwards. That’s a very wrong move! Maybe you haven’t realized this, but there are a lot of people who have confirmed that one particular foot is slightly bigger than the other. This is why you should always try on both feet before settling for any shoe. When you do, wriggle your toes in them so you could be sure of its comfort level.

You also need to consider what outfit goes with what shoe, because putting on the right outfit with the wrong shoe is like leaving your ‘t’ uncrossed and your ‘i’ undotted. The right shoe is like icing on the cake.

  • Heeled or flats, comfort is priority:

You cannot ignore the beauty of a heeled shoe and how it elongates your legs, giving you grace and lovely carriage, but you must remember to settle for comfortable heels. Hey! Just so you know, no rule states that you must wear a particular shoe for any specific occasion. Comfort is the new beauty.

Also, you need to put into consideration the activities you will be involved in during the period you will have the shoes on. If you are going to stand for long, then it is of utmost importance for you to go for either comfortable heels, like wedge or full heels, or you could just go for flat shoes.

  • Convenient colours:

Everyone has their colour and taste, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. It’s okay to be choosy when it comes to the colour of your shoe, but you need to make sure it compliments your skin tone and the outfit you are pairing it with. Take time to look out for appropriate colour combinations that blend for different occasions.
