Women's Shoes

A great wardrobe should include shoes for every occasion. Comfort, style, and occasion are 3 things you should keep in mind when choosing the right pair of shoes--a pair of flats might go with the dress you're wearing, but might not be appropriate for a job interview.  

Everyday Basics

• Women's athletic shoes  come in different styles, even if they're not technically called "sneakers"--like tennis shoes --and can come in handy even if you're not running. Sneakers are great for most activities occasions from jogging to taking a stroll on the boardwalk. Women's wide shoes  are usually available when shopping for sneakers, and most shoe store employees can tell you which brands come with a wider sole. Some brands which sell athletic shoes are: Nike ,New Balance , and Lacoste . Some brands who sell shoes for every day are: Converse  and Puma .

• Rain boots  are also a great investment for places with regular rainfall. It's always annoying to go through soaked pairs of shoes because you got caught in the rain and stepped in too many puddles. Rain boots not only save your other shoes, but the bottoms of your pants and are durable enough to last a while. Also, many shoe manufacturers now make waterproof boots  that do not resemble the classic, knee-length rubber rain boot . So, if you're looking for shorter waterproof shoes  that look more like ankle boots , you can find those also.

More Styles

Flats Flat shoes  are great for every day, comfortable wear, but they don't necessarily only have to be "casual." Flats (including ballerina flats) are versatile, and you can wear them with a cute evening dress , or with jeans  and a t-shirt . Flats may also be appropriate for uniform attire .	Heels High heel shoes  or low heel shoes  are useful for many different occasions--special occasions, parties, dancing , or even if you just want to dress up your outfit.  Women's wedge shoes  also give you height and style, but take out some of the difficulty in walking.	Summer Flip flops  are the simple and easy way to go for summer. Recent popular shoe choices have also been gladiator sandals  and ankle collar sandals . Plastic or rubber-sole flip flips are also great for public spaces like the gym or the dorm shower.	Winter There are tons of styles of winter shoes  to choose from. Winter boots  should have a thick, strong sole to stay durable, and should be water-proof and snow-proof  to last you through the winter season, and more. Shearling boots  and faux fur boots  are best for keeping your feet warm.
