Choose shoes that match the color of your clothes rather than the color of your clothes.

Wear simple black heels or flats when you’re wearing a dress with pops of vibrant prints. With a colorful suit, you will look heavy in the eyes of some people if you wear complicated shoes. Of course, you can still wear whatever shoes you like, as long as there are no dress codes you need to follow or health and safety issues to consider.
Wear neutral or ‘nude’ heels or flats if you’re wearing a sparkly evening gown.

Add a splash of color to a plain outfit with brighter colored shoes.

Add pops of color by pairing red heels with a black or brown skirt.
Try wearing chic shoes with a bold look like alligator shoes if you’re wearing a simple top and neutral pants or jeans.

Choose shoes based on a color on the multicolored outfit you’re wearing. For example, if you’re wearing a purple and pink geometric top, you can wear dark purple shoes.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/89/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4- 460px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/89/ Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-4-Version-2. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Avoid completely matching color schemes. Don’t wear a monochromatic color from head to toe. If the shirt and skirt are both blue, you should avoid wearing blue shoes, unless you do so intentionally. In fact, the “fashion police” can’t punish you without fear!

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f7/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-5.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f7/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-5.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Consider different color shades. If you’re wearing a light pink top, try wearing dark pink heels or flats instead of light pink shoes like the color of the shirt.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/55/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-6.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/55/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Choose standard colors in an office environment.

Wearing brown or black leather shoes in the office is standard. Gray and navy are also appropriate choices in the office.
Only color shoes if the office does not have a strict dress code.

Choose shoes that match the season

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/65/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-7.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/65/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-7.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Flexibility in the spring. You can choose both winter shoes and summer shoes as the wardrobe moves into spring.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/65/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-8.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-8.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/65/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-8.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Bright in summer. Summer is the time to enjoy your sandals and soft-soled canvas shoes. Just don’t wear these shoes with socks.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a4/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-9.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-9.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a4/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-9.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

More sparing in the fall. You can still be flexible as your wardrobe transitions into winter, but sandals and loafers should be avoided. These shoes don’t go well with thick fabrics for fall.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3a/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-10.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-10.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3a/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Practical in winter. Choose loafers, flats, and boots. Remember to choose shoes with wide heels to prevent slipping.

Choose high heels

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a9/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-11.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a9/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Pair stiletto heels with an outfit that elongates your legs, such as a pencil skirt and tights. The pointed heel creates the illusion of lengthening the legs, making the legs look slimmer and sexier.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9a/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-12.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9a/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Wear low-heeled shoes such as kitten heels (small heels with a height of 3-5 cm) as a versatile option. This style of shoe is suitable for an office setting while still being feminine for an evening out.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/21/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-13.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-13.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/21/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-13.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Avoid heels with ankle straps or T-straps if you have short legs. Lace-up shoes also tend to shorten the leg length, making the legs appear shorter.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/76/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-14.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-14.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/76/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-14.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Avoid high heels over 10cm if you have short legs. Super high heels make the calves bend more, and so the legs look less slender.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f7/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-15.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-15.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f7/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-15.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-15.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Wear oval or square toe shoes if you have large feet. Avoid pointed or tapered shoes that make the feet appear larger.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/68/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-16.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-16.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/68/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-16.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-16.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Avoid wearing super high heels or sexy lace-up shoes in an office setting, depending on your profession. Low-heeled shoes or moderately high heels are also suitable, but choose a slightly more modest style. Low heeled shoes are best.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/50/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-17.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-17.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/50/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-17.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-17.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Wear heels in formal or relatively formal events. Choose closed-toe or open-toe dance shoes for prom or other important events. Wear closed-toe, open-toe, or strappy heels for relatively formal occasions like cocktail parties.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/54/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-18.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-18.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/54/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-18.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-18.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Try pairing heels with your casual outfit for a little extra style. You can wear stiletto heels with jeans and a t-shirt to accentuate your casual outfit.

Choose sandals

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e4/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-19.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-19.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e4/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-19.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-19.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Choose low heel sandals for a feminine and versatile look. You can wear low heel sandals with skirts and pants of any length.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fa/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-20.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-20.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fa/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-20.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-20.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Consider wearing high heel sandals when wearing a short black dress or similar evening outfit. High heel sandals will make your legs appear longer thanks to the height of the heel and the open skin on the instep.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/24/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-21.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-21.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/24/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-21.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-21.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Save flip flops for comfortable occasions. You should only wear flip-flops on the beach or to do errands.

Choose flat shoes

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/76/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-24.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-24.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/76/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-24.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-24.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Wear flats when wearing knee-length skirts, shorts, or Bermuda shorts.

Avoid wearing flats with long skirts. Not everyone is like that, but many women look sloppy in long skirts and flats.
If you still want to wear doll shoes with a long skirt, you should choose shoes with slightly high heels.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/ae/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-25.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-25.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/ae/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-25.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-25.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Choose stylish flats to make the outfit look better. Wear simple flat shoes in a casual, comfortable environment.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/cc/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-26.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-26.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/cc/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-26.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-26.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Avoid wearing flats when wearing tight pants, unless you have small hips. Otherwise, your legs may look disproportionate.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e7/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-27.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-27.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e7/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-27.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-27.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Avoid wearing comfortable flat shoes in the office or in an office environment. You can choose to wear stylish flats, such as simple flats in black or brown leather.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/73/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-28.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-28.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/73/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-28.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-28.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Consider wearing flats on relatively formal occasions. For example, try pairing a stylish pair of flats with a pretty summer dress for a garden or outdoor party.

Choose Boots

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c6/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-29.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-29.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c6/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-29.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-29.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Save the boots for fall and winter. The boots conjure images of cold days and prevent air from flowing through the feet, helping to keep them warm.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c7/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-30.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-30.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c7/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-30.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-30.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Pair a pair of high-heeled short boots with a pair of dark jeans or slacks. The pointed heel will make the boots more attractive and the legs appear longer, and the style of the boots is also suitable for the thick fabric.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/89/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-31.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-31.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/89/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-31.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-31.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Consider wearing wide-heeled fashion boots if you want to look stylish but are afraid of slipping on icy sidewalks. Although they don’t lengthen legs as much as high heels, these boots also help to enhance the look of the outfit.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/90/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-32.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-32.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/90/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-32.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-32.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Choose stylish boots that don’t cut across the leg at the widest point. Knee-high boots are appropriate because many women’s legs are slimmest just below the knee. Fashionable knee-high boots are also a great choice for skirts and dresses.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c2/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-33.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-33.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c2/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-33.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-33.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Wear snow boots when it’s snowing and rain boots when it rains. Replace fashionable boots with boots that make you feel comfortable inside.

Choose Oxfords and loafers

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/89/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-34.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-34.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/89/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-34.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-34.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Consider wearing Oxfords or loafers in the office. Considered a traditional style, loafers are suitable for most office environments. These shoes go well with both pants and skirts.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/31/Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-35.jpg/v4-460px-Select- Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-35.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/31/Select-Shoes-to-Wear- with-an-Outfit-Step-35.jpg/v4-728px-Select-Shoes-to-Wear-with-an-Outfit-Step-35.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Advice

Stay comfortable with the shoes you’re wearing. Be adventurous and risk the things you want to try, but don’t go any further than you feel comfortable with.
Measure your shoe size and buy shoes later in the day. Your feet will grow at the end of the day, so you need to choose shoes that fit your feet at any time of the day.
Choose seasonal shoes: if you’re wearing jeans, wear high boots; otherwise, you should wear low boots during winter, fall and spring. Wear sandals/sandals in the summer and spring.
Shoes over 7 cm look impressive, but if you can’t walk in those shoes, the good impression will be lost. Choose shoes that you feel comfortable and confident in to look your best.

Warning

Super high heels and flip flops are both known to cause foot damage if used too much. You should only wear these styles of footwear in the right setting – heels for formal evening settings, and flip flops for short-term comfort – to avoid injuring your feet.
