RIGHT SHOE

TIP 1: Check your shoe size every time you

venture to buy shoes. Not all brands have the same sizing

Nothing is more important than the right size. If your shoes make you uncomfortable – it will show! Pink toes, uneasy walk, feet popping out do not make a pleasant sight

TIP 2: Carry socks or pantyhose that you plan to

wear with the shoe your buying to get the perfect fit

After you wear the shoe, you should be able to place your index finger between your foot and the heel of the shoe. Or else they are too tight and vice versa. 

TIP 3: The material of your shoes is equally

important. Consider the weather, lifestyle and occasion before you select the material

Suede Leather

TIP 4: Formal shoes need to be polished and in

good condition at all times – they communicate a lot.

Do pay special attention to the heel

TIP 5: Do not get carried away by discounts and

sales. Do not buy on impulse. Plan right for your shoe purchases

TIP 6: Shoes should be cleaned and stored well Preferably stored in the shoe bag after

every use 

TIP 7: Choose the shoe as per your lifestyle: if you

have long standing hours for instance, pick up brogues, loafers or ballerinas leaving the stilettos for a fancy dinner or party. 

For women who are not comfortable with high heels, begin with kitten heels, wedges or platforms.

Heeled Brogues

Wedge heels

Pretty feet – If you are wearing the latest peep toes or open sandals, make sure your feet are well pedicure and moisturized. Your shoes are bound to attract attention.

TIP 8:

TIP 9: Men: Invest in classic styles: black or brown

leather shoes laced shoes for a classic formal look.

TIP 10: Do not wear your formal shoes for

casual occasions and vice versa. Invest in good quality formal, semi casual (eg: loafers) and casuals shoes (eg: converse). Bulky sport shoes are better left out for the gym and other sporting activities.
