Choosing the right shoe !

Before you rush off to the store to choose the perfect prom shoe, consider these 5 steps;

1) Consider Your Dress
- Your dress should play a big role in your decision of which pair of shoes to buy. It's usually a good idea to get less glamorous shoes for dresses that have a lot of flashiness or detail, and eye-catching or elaborate shoes for plainer dresses.
 
2) Dress Length and Shoe Style
- If you are wearing a floor-length dress, you have to consider the fact that your shoes aren't going to be visable. Flats or ballet shoes are a great choice for long dresses because you don't have to worry about the extra height from heels throwing off the proper length of your dress. If your dress is short, strapped sandals or high heels are a better choice.
 
3) Color
- The color of the sheos you pick is important, but don't let it stress you out, it's not necessary for the shoes to match your dress exactly. Work to find complementary colors or a shoe color that is slightly darker then the dress. Neutral colors also work well; gold, silver or white for lighter dresses, and black or gray for darker dresses. If you find a shoe you like but it doesn't match your dress, it's okay as long as it doesn't clash.
 
4) Comfort
- Comfort should be key when it comes to picking prom shoes. You are going to be dancing and standing all night, so it's important to pick shoes in which you can move around easily. It doesn't matter how gorgeous your shoes are if you're in pain with each step.
 
5) Heels
- High heels are a common choice for prom, but before you choose, stop to consider your history in heels. Do you wear them often, or will prom be your first time in them? If you're not a heel veteran, it might be smarter to choose a shoe with a lesser heel so you're comfortable. Wedges are a good substitute between the height of heels and the comfort of flats. You also need to consider the height of your date.
 
6) Bucking Tradition
- Don't be afraid to choose sheos that you will love, even if they're not what everyone would consider popular. Flip-flops, jelly sandals, boots, even tennis shoes- if you feel great in them, you should go for them. Other girls might give you weird looks, but those are probably the same girls whose feet will be killing them by the end of the night.
