Simple Shoes

Women love shoes, no question about it. The right pair of shoes make the simplest costume a fashion statement. Heels, sandals, boots, clogs and sneakers are standards in every ladies shoe closet. When we visit a shoe shop, we're often looking for styles that men find appealing. There is a practical side to life which requires a shoe that you can walk a lot of miles in comfort, if not with allure. Perhaps this is why most women who walk to work in Manhattan sport tennis shoes on the street. Those wedge sandals with delicate satin ribbons spiraling around your leg aren't up to the task. Read on to learn the secrets to painless feet at the end of the day. As plain as the toes on your feet: simple shoes.

Tennis shoes are simple enough. However, business clothes and tennis shoes do look a bit odd. Let's say you're going on vacation overseas, visiting large cities and exploring them on foot, walking miles each day. You'll be going to museums, theatres, dining in fine restaurants and other situations where a dressy pair of shoes is desirable. What you're looking for is a shoe of simple, classic lines that is truly comfortable and yet attractive. Yes, such shoes do exist. Be you a traveler or foot commuter, consider the upscale cousin of the tennis shoe.

We all know that some of the finest shoes in the world are Italian shoes, made of the highest quality, buttery-soft leathers. Even the most stylish high heeled shoes made of such leather are noted for comfort. These quality leathers are a bit more pricey than a cheap shoe from the discount rack. Simple shoes of soft leather and good craftsmanship, will carry you in style and comfort for thousands of miles and many years.

Another characteristic of the upscale simple shoe is its shape. It must be shaped, more or less, like your foot. No pointy toes, heels higher than 1 � inches, straps or other adornments that will cut into your foot. Keep your eyes peeled for a shoe with lines resembling a ballerina's shoe. These are the quintessential fancy simple shoes.

Soft, quality leather molds to the shape of your foot, stretching ever so slightly to accommodate the natural placement of your feet when walking. Leather also breathes, which prevents damp, swollen feet.

Another consideration when purchasing classic simple shoes is color. Black is the most versatile, as it works with almost all costumes. Choose a shoe without ornamentation. Get a few clip-on shoe ornaments for casual and dress attire.

That's it. Now you're prepared to walk in comfort, on vacation adventures or just crosstown. Remember, look for good leather and construction. Be prepared to pay a bit more. Your simple shoes will serve your feet well and you'll stand out favorably in a crowd of less elegantly shod women, especially in Manhattan commute hours.
