We all want to look good from head to toe. Well, a good pair of shoes is crucial to your appearance. After all, the shoes are often the first thing another person notices, and who wants to do the walk of shame?
What you need is good foot-eye coordination. A shoe shouldn’t just feel good, it should look good, too. Maybe you’ve never thought about what goes on your feet.
Well, if the shoe fits, wear it. I’ve got five tips for shoe style and comfort that apply to every walk of life. Whether you work in an office or don’t work at all, this information is on a need-to-know basis, as in, you need to know it.
There are probably plenty of things you never considered when shopping for a shoe — like what time to shop for shoes or what shoes go best with what outfit. It’s the little things that make all the difference in the world.
Step up to the plate and put your best foot forward with these five tips for shoe success from my book Bargain Beauty Secrets (Source Books).
Here are your five free beauty tips:
1. You can tell if these boots (or any other shoes) are made for walking… If you can’t wear a pair of shoes comfortably for more than an hour, don’t bother. Your face will show your pain.
2. Never buy a shoe that wrinkles when you flex your foot. Also, buy late in the day, when your feet are the largest.
3. When it comes to sandals, keep it simple. You’ll get more use out of them. Be sure straps are well made, not too tight or too delicate. Avoid sandals that cut any area of the foot.
4. Flats look best with long skirts and slim pants.
5. When you’re bargain shoe shopping, buy brown. Inexpensive shoes look richer in natural browns than in black.
