Choosing the Best Dress Shoes for Your Special Occasion

Have you ever been in a party or special occasion with sore feet? Well, you don’t have to sacrifice for the sake of beauty anymore. Now, get ready for wearing dress shoes that you can wear along the occasion at no cost to your feet. Well, the perfect dress shoes will make your feet look elegant, match your outfits and be comfortable for walking and dancing. So, the next question is how to find the perfect dress shoes?

Here are some tips for you when you choose them in a shop:

• Choose your dress shoes that have stable and comfortable heels. So your legs will look longer and slimmer, make your feet look great and force you to keep good posture. If you don’t get used to wear high heel shoes, go with low heels or flats as much as possible.

Dress shoes which are made from fabric looks good but if you can afford it, always go for genuine leather shoes. Quality leather has an amazing ability to adjust to the shape of your foot and always feels better than synthetics.

• Match your dress shoes with the outfit. Black dress shoes are classic, they work with any dark colored outfit. If your outfit is in a pastel color, try ivory shoes; soft, warm ivory usually works better than pure white. With a full suit, you want the nice, traditional polish dress shoes to compliment the suit. If you are dressing more casual, you might consider a comfortable pair of oxfords.

• Have both feet measured. Most people have one foot larger than the other one. Fit to the largest foot. So make sure your dress shoes have correct size. Otherwise the dress shoes will never feel comfortable on your feet.

• Walk in the shoe to make sure it fits and feels right. Make sure the ball of your foot fits comfortably into the widest part (ball pocket) of the shoe.

• Make sure that you wear the dress shoes around the store while shopping, if appropriate. Many dress shoes feel great for the first couple of minutes and then begin to burn the ball of the foot, pinch your toes, tilt your foot forward, or slip after a few minutes.

• Fit your dress shoes at the end of the day when your feet are largest. Your heel should fit comfortably in the shoe with minimum amount of slippage.

• Finally, have a nice party with perfect dress shoes then!

If you’re looking for a pair of shoes with fashion and comfort in mind, Born shoes is the right one for you. Each shoe has been sculpted down to the smallest, minute detail using the softest, most supple leather making it an exquisite work of art. Truly, Born shoes are considered to be a masterpiece of design, comfort and style.

For over a decade now, Born has been redefining casual footwear for discerning men and women regardless of age and lifestyle. From their choice of the finest natural materials to it’s unique constructions, each shoe has been beautifully designed and meticulously detailed to come up with a genuinely superior comfort footwear.Born shoes are crafted using the European Opanka technique. This method hand sews the upper, the sock lining and the outsole together in a single process making it not only extremely flexible but creates a natural cushioning effect as well. In effect, the underfoot conforms and rebounds with every movement thereby providing a consistently comfortable environment.

A Product Review. Born Shoes Are Shoes with Comfort and Simple Style

The wrong pair of shoes can make your feet and legs ache, but the right pair, quickly become not only a favourite, but settle in like an old friend. My Born shoes are my old friends, and a product I would have a hard time living without.
For the most part, I buy the cheapest and very best, functional and decent shoe I can afford on my budget, but I happened to pass through Macys one time and came upon a shoe sale there. I decided to stop and look to see what they had to offer that day.
Due to a bad injury, that has long since healed, but left me with an ankle that can pop and trip me with no notice, I can't wear high heals and to be honest, I'm glad I can't.
I used to watch my mother in her high heeled shoes, graceful and elegant, but she was always coming home with painful, worn out feet. She also always seemed to have a pair of them at the shoe repair shop for snapped heels or a broken piece. It didn't matter how expensive they had been at the onset either; it always happened to her.
Of course those shoes were fun to play dress up with, because they were pretty and I wanted to be like my mother. I still have a few pairs of her more glamorous high heeled shoes in my daughter's dress up box.
My Born shoes are a step in progress for me. I would rather have comfortable feet so, I can walk a distance with no pain, than wear a fashion statement out of vanity. My Born shoes fit the bill for me and they have a certain kind of classic simple style to them too.
The shoes are hand sewn real leather and feel like a loved quality pair of shoes.
They slip on and off easily, but unlike other shoes I have owned, I don't always automatically kick off my Born shoes, since they don't cause me discomfort. My second pair of Born shoes are a slightly different design, but just as comfortable. I just haven't worn them in as much since the brown colored ones look better with more clothing colours. Because they are good quality leather, after I had worn them for awhile, they took on the shape of my foot even more and fit my feet like they were formed with me and not a manufactured mold.
