....Choose the right heel and shoe shape for your legs.... If legs are too thick, heels with a pointed toe will appear much smaller and may make feet look out of proportion with the rest of the body. Find a shoe that makes the legs look in proportion with the shoes. Many people make their legs appear leaner by choosing a wider design in shoes. Heels that are too sturdy may make your legs look sturdy also.
....Which shoes are the best choice for an outfit?.... Dress length, style, and colour are critical to shoe choice, as an example, if very high stilletos are worn with a mini skirt there is a very real danger of the wrong message being given out. high heeled shoes will enhance the look of long skirts on a shorter person but make note of the height of the heel as the dress or skirt must not appear too long or too short. A full length dress does not require elaborate shoes because they will not be visible. Mid height heels may be more suitable for knee length outfits. Be careful of wearing highly decorative shoes with a longer dress particularly as they may conflict with the dress details. Extravagant shoes work better with shorter dresses. Simple classic heels are more suited to longer elaborate dresses. Avoid black shoes with pastel outfits unless bags and belts are coordinated. If wearing jeans, the shape of the bottom of the jeans can also affect the choice. Platform heels can be great with jeans and if the jeans are longer the impression is that you are taller which can be a bonus!
....Safety.... With high heels and stilettos, beware of strappy shoes. They can look super sexy but ankles can be twisted easily. Take care that straps are firmly attached and the heel chosen is well balanced. Maybe choose a wedge heel. An additional idea would be to roughen the bottoms of new heels which can help one avoid slipping on the dance floor.
....Flexibility.... Wedge heels can provide greater flexibility and can give all the ‘leg slimming’ and ‘extra height’ benefits of a heel that's not so high. They are great with middle length skirts and minis and are great for wearing to the office. heeled boots can also be very flexible and can be worn with almost all outfits. They are great with skirts and acceptable to wear to the office.
....Comfort.... High heels don’t have to be ‘super high heels’ or stilettos which can be very painful if not chosen suitably, and they are also not geared for walking too far in. If heels do need to go hand in hand with comfort, which is a sensible option..then a lower heel or a kitten heel should be chosen. Maybe choose a style with squared-off toes or open toes and shorter, chunkier heels instead of stilettos or maybe, again, theall round wedge heel which slopes the foot gently and supports the whole of the foot area. Wedge heels are good for the office because they can be worn for longer periods of time without too much strain on the foot. maybebuy shoes later in the day as feet swell as the day goes by. Also break them in in advance if one intends to wear them to a special function. at the end of the day the heel height chosen should be bound by how many aches and pains one can allow oneself.
....Sex appeal....Sandals with heels and boots with heels are very, very, sexy, and very adaptable as well. In addition to enhancing ones femininity, sandals fastened at the ankle, or higher up the leg, will draw attention to legs as well as feet. Most sandals, along with flip flops, some of which do fall under the category of high heeled shoes, have small, delicate heels, called kitten heels, which gives them a look that can be dressed up or dressed down, depending on what one prefers.
