for the perfect pair of shoes?
Whether it be for a night on the town, or a stroll through the park,
there is a pair perfect for you. But in order to determine what shoe
suits you, first take a moment to examine your body (and be honest with
yourself!) · Are you top heavy, or is your bottom larger than your top? · Are your legs long or short? · Do your legs have definition or are they solid like tree trunks? · Do you have thick ankles or dainty ones? OK, now that you've done the dirty work and examined your assets, here's our advice: (We in no way consider our selves to be experts in what looks good on YOU. Only you can make the ultimate decision in what YOU like. So this is only for those who really need help.) Large on top You want to balance your body by de-emphasizing your chest and drawing attention to your lower half. Look for shoes with a shorter heel and avoid shoes like dainty stilettos. Check out our chunky heels, and woods. Large on bottom You want to elongate the look of your legs in order to make them look slimmer. Look for a pair of shoes with a high, thick heel and rounded front. Avoid pointy-tipped shoes with stiletto heels and flat ballerina pumps. Check out our chunky heels, and woods. Short legs The basic rule of thumb when dealing with short legs is to add as much height as possible. Check out our 5 inch heels, 6 inch heels, and 7 inch heels. Large legs Long legs look even longer when wearing heels - be careful that you don't tower over your mate! (Unless you are into that kind of thing!) You can get away with wearing flat shoes depending on the thickness of your ankles and your thighs. View our 3 inch heels, 4 inch heels, and 5 inch heels Thick legs You want to add definition to your legs. Look for shoes like pointed sling backs, but make sure they have a thicker heel. Anything too thin will look awkward and may not provide enough support. Another option to try is a pair of narrow, low wedge shoes. The wedge helps to balance your legs. Check out our woods. Thick ankles The best way to deal with thick ankles is to disguise them. Your best bet is a pair of high court shoes with a strap that goes across the top of your foot. The height makes your legs look longer and the strap draws the focus away from your ankle. Avoid flat shoes like ballerina pumps. View our ankle high boots, knee high boots, thigh high boots, and lace up shoes. Dainty ankles Your best bet is to slip on a pair of elegant high sling backs with a narrow heel. When worn, they look like a continuation of the heel and show off the ankle. Avoid chunky loafers or you may look like you're walking in clown's shoes. Check out our sexy shoes, and platform shoes. Remember that your body may be a combination of a few of these categories, so keep that in mind when selecting your ideal pair of shoes. Again, if you don't agree with us that's fine.

Shoe facts - Myths and Legends Every culture has its own myths and legends, but when the myths persist long enough to become reality, we have to ask ourselves whether we should place the health of our feet in the hands of old wives tales, suspicion or a serious case of Chinese whispers! Footwear myths and legends incubate, escalate and perpetuate - in many cases, fiction becomes fact! We feel it's time to uncover some of these ancient rites and rituals and dispel some common foot and footwear myths... Shoe comfort is mainly a matter of correct size and fit. Shoe comfort is actually a combination of mechanical, thermal and chemical engineering: proper last design, shoe construction (flexibility, weight etc.) and inside-shoe climate conditions (heat, moisture, bacteria, hundreds of shoe chemicals, etc.). Yet ironically, the shoe industry has never made a serious study of shoe/foot comfort! The foot's arch needs 'Support'. Far more fantasy than fact. Except for a small minority (about 5%) of people afflicted with severe arch breakdown or deep trauma from injury, the arch needs no artificial support. Such 'support' may actually weaken the arch over a long period of time by interfering with the foot's natural exercise. People suffer from 'Fallen Arches'. A collapsed or 'fallen' arch is rare. This condition usually occurs in less than 1% of the population! Hard pavements and floors cause foot strain and breakdown. There is no evidence to prove this. Shoeless natives stand, walk and work for long hours on hard ground or floor surfaces, yet have strong, healthy, trouble-free feet. 'Sensible' shoes are best. Not true. So-called 'sensible shoes' have most of the same built-in faults as dress shoes: poor lasts, faults of fitting sizing, pressures and friction. Plus, some of their own: unnecessary weight, lack of flexibility, plus ugly aesthetics. There is a 'normal foot' and a 'normal arch'. Both untrue. There is no anatomical 'normalcy' for either. Feet come in an enormous range of shapes and proportions. The big toe is the longest. Untrue. In 20% of people, the second toe is longest; in 3%, the third toe; and in 2%, the first three toes are of equal length. Toe lengths are genetic. Differences in toe lengths are often overlooked in shoe fitting. The foot's instep and waist needs 'support'. Untrue. Corset-like support here weakens the foot by denying its natural elastic action. Evidence again: those hundreds of million of shoeless people who have strong, healthy feet. Snug fit is best. Wrong. The foot normally expands about 5%over the course of a day so that snug fit becomes tight fit. Most shoes are fitted too snugly - again, for 'support' reasons. Leather breathes because it has pores. Breathing means the capacity of a material to absorb and pass off moisture. Ordinarily, leather does this well, because of its pores, fiber's and air spaces. But the tanning and finishing processes clog the pores and spaces with chemical substances and prevent most of leather's natural breath-ability. Pointed shoes cause many foot problems. Mostly untrue. The fault isn't mainly in the toe shape, but in the last design, shoe construction and tricks of the trade. For example: short-coupled lasts, or shortened forepart compensated by added rear part length to make the foot look smaller; or crooked lasts. These rather than the pointed toe cause toe pressures. Bunions, hammer toes and crooked toes are caused by wearing high heels. Men wear low heels and acquire these conditions. So do people who wear 'sensible' shoes. The cause is mainly faulty shoe design. |
