How to find comfortable and stylish women's shoes? The 8 ultimate tips
Finding women's shoes that are both comfortable and stylish can seem like a challenge at first, but with the recommendations we bring you, we assure you that you can find the perfect balance between style and comfort .
If you want to get it right and have it all, consider the following:
1- Know the shape of your foot
In order for a shoe to be comfortable for you, you need to know what your foot is like. We already talked about this topic in another blog post at length. But to make a long story short, we'll tell you that each person has a unique foot shape.
Some people have wide feet, others have narrow feet, and some may even have bunions or other problems. Therefore, the first thing of all, and what we believe to be the most important, is to take into account the shape of your foot when choosing shoes .
2- Choose the right size
Once you know the shape of your foot and whether it presents any problems, the next step is to choose the correct size.
Feet can vary in size and shape throughout the day , so it is advisable to measure your feet at the end of the day when they are most swollen to find out your true shoe size.
If you have any doubts, try on the shoes and walk around a bit to make sure they fit properly and there are no uncomfortable pressure points. Ideally, they should fit well, neither too tight nor too loose; at most half a finger's width.
Look for brands that offer options in different widths or consider models with adjustable or elastic vamps to better fit your foot shape.
3- Find good support according to your foot arch type
Our next recommendation is to consider the arch of your foot, as it can definitely affect comfort. If you have a high arch, look for shoes that have extra support. If you have a low arch, choose shoes with good structure or padding.
Generally, people tend to have a rather low arch and very flat shoes can be very uncomfortable. They can even “gap your foot” or feel like “the sole of your foot is burning from hitting the ground.” If this happens to you often, it is simply due to a lack of padding . Use at least 3 cm.
4- Choose a quality shoe
Quality shoes usually have these two things that you ask for in a good shoe: comfort and elegance .
This is not a coincidence at all, but rather because the materials used in shoes play an important role in comfort and durability. That is why you will notice the difference when choosing shoes made of leather or high-quality synthetic materials that are breathable and flexible.
If you have sensitive feet, it is best to avoid shoes with rigid materials, as they may cause chafing or skin irritation. Let's just say that they are not the most comfortable option if you have sensitive feet.
5- Heel height
High heels are often elegant. However, they are not always comfortable. A very important aspect to consider in order to get it right is the height of the heel and the shape .
If you're not used to wearing high heels, opt for models with lower or wider heels , which provide greater stability. You can also consider options such as wedges or platforms that offer additional height without compromising comfort.
For example, if you are looking for heels for a wedding and you want to have it all, the ideal is to opt for shoes with a medium height and a wide heel . You will see that it is easier to walk in them and that you do not have any problems. If as the hours go by you get tired and your feet are already bothering you a little, you can always change to espadrilles with a wedge .
6- Shoe sole
Good, comfortable and stylish women's shoes should also come with a good sole. Look for shoes with flexible soles that allow for natural foot movement when walking .
Grippy soles are also important to prevent slips and falls. Also, consider adding a cushioned or gel insole for extra comfort and shock absorption. If you tend to get bothered by shoes that are too flat or low, you'll find that this trick makes a difference and you'll feel much more comfortable every day.
7- Try different styles and brands
Aside from the above tips, there is one more thing you can consider. Not all brands offer the same type of footwear.
Each brand and style of shoe may have a slightly different fit and comfort. Don't be afraid to try different styles and brands to find the ones that fit your foot best.
You can also research brands that stand out for offering greater comfort and quality in their shoes. These brands are usually a sure hit, so by trying on several models you can find the brand that best suits you.
8- Walk and try on the shoes
Once you have found a pair that you like and that you find comfortable and pleasing to the eye, what you need to do is try the shoes on . Walk around in them for a while to see that they don't bother you anywhere on your foot.
Take your time trying them on, without rushing, because the key is to choose good shoes that suit you and make you feel like you have it all: the comfort you are looking for and an attractive design to show off with your best looks.
