Buying the perfect pair of boots or women’s shoes, especially with such a huge variety of styles on offer, can be a daunting prospect. If you’re looking for designer shoes then the money invested in this choice can be considerable, so there are a few things to think about before you make your final decision. Here are the top various tips for buying ladies shoes.

1). Know your size

It may seem obvious, but many women suffer discomfort because they don’t know their exact shoe size. Every woman’s feet are different, and the generic sizes don’t necessarily give you the best fit. Like clothing manufacturer’s sizes, women’s shoe sizes can vary dramatically — a size five in one shop or retailer may be very different from a size five from an online supplier. Remember that the right width is just as important, so look for a supplier that offers a range of width fittings and take the time to get your feet measured accurately.

2). Know your Budget

A really good quality pair of shoes that may cost a little more will last you much longer and be a better investment in the long term than a cheap pair that falls apart after only a couple of weeks.

3). Know the event you are attending.

If you’re looking for a pair of women’s shoes for a special occasion, take into account the type of event you are attending (an open-air event is probably not the best place to wear high heels!). Consider that you may be on your feet for a long time, so again, comfort is just as important as looks.

4).Colour

The colour of your shoes is much of your personal decision, but take into account what kind of outfits you will be wearing the shoes with, your own skin tone and colouring and whether your designer shoes are just a one-season fashion buy or something that you will want to wear again and again.

5).Open or closed toe styles?

For summer wear, nothing beats the comfort and freedom of a pair of sandals. They allow your feet to ‘breathe’ and are comfortable for all-day wear. However, if you are in a more formal setting, a classic pair of ladies court shoes suggests a more professional attitude. Shoes can reflect a great deal about the wearer, so consider what kind of impression you want to make.

6). Formal or informal?

Formal women’s shoes cover a wide range of styles, from classic courts to kitten heels. For a really stunning look, a pair of designer’s shoes with high heels combined with formal evening wear really can give an outfit that ‘wow’ factor. Less formal wear can be anything from a pair of summer sandals to knee length boots worn with jeans. Stuart Weitzman thigh high boots combined with a business suit can cross the boundary between formal and informal, but again, choose a pair that fit perfectly to maximize both comfort and looks.
