What really matters to you when you go shoe shopping? What's more important to you when it comes to choosing a pair? What is the main reason you're going to or stopping at a shoe store? How many pairs you're planning to buy and what is the reason behind the concept? These are basic questions we asked these days. But the big question is what kind of pair are you looking for? Heels or flats? Are looking for style or comfort?
High heels are beautiful. They have great custom built designs. Some heels have embellishments like tiny gems, rhinestone, flowers, bows, etc. They give us more height, make us look glamorous when we go clubs, weddings, or any social events. They are appropriate for employment and corporate business fields. But they are not made for everyday wear, especially when you're active. They're not made for sporting activities either. Some heels have soles that are slippery and some heels are not sturdy enough to handle the body weight everyday and might break off by accident.
Flats are also beautiful, but more comfortable. Just like the heels, they are pretty decorative with embellishments. They can be used for everyday wear, especially when you're doing long distance walking. They are also good for any social events, for work business fields.
Now, let's dig deep.
Size really does matter when choosing a pair of shoes. We all have to find shoes that fit our feet, right? Suppose you find a nice pair of Stillettos but they only come in size 9 and small and you needed a size 10. Some of you couldn't help yourselves in buying shoes that are not your size, but you just got to have them because they looks so beautiful and you want to be envied with them. (I'm getting real here, so look out!) You're going to experience everyday pain with bunions, swollen corns and extremely weak feet due to very uncomfortable tightness and pressure from smaller sizes. Now ask yourself, is the suffering really worth it? Buying shoes in bigger sizes are also a no-no. 85% percent chance that they'll slip off your feet when walking and they might cause accidents. They might fly off your feet when you kick too high and one of the pair might hit someone's window or someone's head.
Pay extra attention to the width of the shoes. Some women have wider widths like a D or E, some have narrow width A, the rest have a medium B or C. Some shoes don't usually come wide widths, some may not be on display, they might be stored in supply rooms. So know what you size width is the next time you go shoe shopping. If you don't know, ask the store clerk to measure your feet by width to be sure. If your feet is width D or E, ask the clerk to show you pairs of shoes in your width size and you pick what you like from there. I'm sure they don't mind.
My suggestion in buying shoes? Buy a couple of pair for work or business, buy a couple of pairs for special occasions, one pair for everyday casual, one pair for active wear like sports activities or exercise, and one pair for household work, and one pair for sleep wear (slippers). No need to buy large quantities of shoes to match every outfit you got unless you're Carrie Bradshaw or Paris Hilton with a very big walk-in closet and a limousine and a private plane to put all of your luggage in when traveling. Black and white goes with anything you wear. So whether you're prefer flats or high heels, the important thing is that you pick the right pair for your size. Comfort and style are important, so why not have the best of both worlds? But make sure they in the right shoe size. And if these pairs of shoes fit, wear it with pride and ease!
Remember, you don't have to be rich an famous to be a diva, being yourself is what a diva is all about. Blessings!
