Style Suggestions: Toms Shoes and More
Comfort, you are certain, is an elusive thing. It vanishes the moment a shoe finds your foot, replaced to unholy designs and complicated heels. You stagger; you stumble; you curse. The price of fashion is swollen ankles and toes curled to indignation. Your days are long, suffering through the tight fit and impractical balance — and, when you finally can return home, the first thing you always do is remove those vicious pumps. The kick you offer them is more than a little gleeful.
This is an all too common occurrence, forced upon women because they are uncertain of which shoes to buy and which ones to avoid. But there are ways to combat this problem, however, and you can conquer the woes of style. You must simply remember:
1. Learn moderation: Women make an easy mistake with shoes — they assume heels must be high and thin, offering the supposed seductive lines. The stiletto has its place; that can't be denied, but it's not practical for every day errands or motherly duties. Look instead to more sensible alternatives, such as: the wedge, the kitten heel or even the ballet flat. Smaller, well cushioned bottoms will offer better balance and less pain.
2. Choose neutrals: Pairing shoes with outfits can be a great source of frustration. Creating masterpieces from basic looks seems to require outlandish heels and slinky styles. This is not true. Avoid the highly specific (and highly tenuous) designs. Follow the advice of Toms Shoes instead and form a wardrobe of neutral colors that can be placed with any outfit. This will remove the aggravation and save you time.
3. Tailor everything: Clothes are not the only things that need to be perfected. Shoes can also be crafted to suit your particular shape. Consider having pairs made to ensure the best fit possible.
Footwear doesn't have to be tedious. It simply must be understood.
