Shoes are a real fetish for most women around the world. A lot of films have been made about shopaholics who buy themselves a fashionable couple every day, a billion words have been said by designers who convey to us that shoes in a woman's life are the key to success. But how to choose these shoes correctly? After all, it is extremely important that they are not only beautiful, but also comfortable. You need to wear only the right shoes - this is the one that fits you perfectly in size, has a medium and thick heel and a good sole. There are many more criteria for choosing shoes, and we will now take a closer look at them.
Brand is not the main thing
Many women mistakenly believe that if the shoes are branded and cost several tens or even hundreds of thousands of rubles, then they will definitely be comfortable, suitable for everyday wear and safe. In fact, this is far from the case, and perhaps even vice versa. The thing isthe fact that most podium things are made for the podium - that is, for a one-time appearance. Such elements of the wardrobe and accessories are not designed for comfort, all attention in their production is paid to decoration, design, beauty. They have a high heel, a hard last, and are made of a very hard material to keep their shape. Accordingly, in such shoes you can appear at an event or in a theater, but you can’t go to work every day, and even more so, you can’t ride the subway. This is both inappropriate and inconvenient.
Therefore, the right shoes for every day are the option that is most comfortable for you. The pricing policy is average - we do not urge you to save on shoes, but you don’t need to go broke either. The choice is based on natural materials and quality work.
Size
Remember, even if you come to a shoe store with an empty wallet, just looking through the options, you probably ask the sales assistant about the availability of the size you need. Today, it is probably difficult to find a person who does not know what shoe size he wears. Recently, however, manufacturers have begun to cheat, and it increasingly happens that, having a standard 37, we buy shoes on the 38th. Or, on the contrary, having carried 36 all my life, we suddenly find that it is great, after which we have to run around the city in search of an extremely rare 35th.
There are also boutiques that sell foreign products, and the sizes there are completely different. Well, let's find out how to find out the size from the tableshoes? The first step is to measure your foot correctly.
Classic | European size | US size | UK | Foot length, cm |
35 | 36 | 5 | 3, 5 | 21, 7 |
35, 5 | 36 2/3 | 5, 5 | 4 | 22, 2 |
36 | 37 1/3 | 6 | 4, 5 | 22, 9 |
36, 5 | 38 | 6, 5 | 5 | 23, 3 |
37 | 38 2/3 | 7 | 5, 5 | 23, 8 |

38, 5 | 40 | 8 | 6, 5 | 24, 6 |
39 | 40 2/3 | 8, 5 | 7 | 25 |
40 | 41 1/3 | 9 | 7, 5 | 25, 5 |
40, 5 | 42 | 9, 5 | 8 | 26 |
41 | 42 2/3 | 10 | 8, 5 | 26, 3 |
42 | 41 1/3 | 10, 5 | 9 | 26, 7 |
Material
Since childhood, parents have told us that shoes should be made of genuine leather. Why? Yes, because in leatherette the foot will constantly sweat, moreover, leatherette will wear out much faster and become unusable. If earlier we had the opportunity to buy only leather boots and shoes, today the choicemuch wider. High-quality varnish, nubuck, foot textiles (for example, linen sandals), suede and, of course, leather appeared. It can be found both in dense form and in thin, very soft.
But it happens that the right shoes, at first glance, made of natural material, are extremely inappropriate. For example, the skin was not soaked in a special solution and it became too hard. Therefore, in addition to choosing a "natural product", you should also try on shoes and analyze your feelings.
Heel
Another truth to learn: you can't wear stilettos every day. For some reason, Russian women especially love this type of heel, because it is incredibly elegant, refined, and attractive. And how he grows in growth is simply amazing. But it is not suitable for everyday wear, as it can cause a lot of problems with the joints and spine. The optimal heel length for daily wear is no more than 6 cm, while the width is at least 3 cm. We note right away that flat shoes are not suitable either. The leg should be slightly raised, but without fanaticism.
Rise
It happens that you buy shoes with a low and stable heel, even with a strap, so as not to strain the muscles of the legs, not narrow, the size fits perfectly. But wearing them is somehow especially uncomfortable, you feel constant fatigue in them, there is no feeling of comfort. It seems that they have studied all the rules on how to choose the rightshoes and they didn't work. So, there is a last sewn into the shoes that does not fit you. The fact is that there is no such thing as good or bad. Everyone has their own instep height, so if specific shoes didn’t suit you exactly according to the block, then they will definitely suit the girl whose shape and bend of the instep is higher (lower) and bulkier (more massive) for this pair of shoes. All you can do is measure carefully. Walk around the store, "try" shoes, stand in them, bend over. If even the slightest discomfort is felt, it means that these are definitely not your shoes.
Careful execution
Even when shoes are made from natural material and look very attractive, there is a chance that the interior finish is not as good as we would like. It happens that the seams, the remnants of materials that are too lazy to carefully cut off at the factory, threads, joints and other working moments are simply stuffed inside. As a result, all this "beauty" will strongly rub your legs in tight places, and you won't even understand what's in the way inside, because all this is covered with lining material. The right shoes, like the right thing, are perfect on the outside and perfect on the inside. Feel the shoe with your fingers - if you find bumps, bumps, or even feel a hard joint that is not processed, but simply covered with a lining, it is better to refuse to buy. You won't be able to wear these shoes anyway.
Outsole
We all know very well that the most comfortable winter shoes are those that are very thick andgrooved outsole. It is warm, non-slip and gives a feeling of comfort and self-confidence. Therefore, in a sense, it is easier to buy boots and boots - almost all of them meet these requirements, so they are easy to wear. Separately, it is worth noting that women's winter shoes, when it comes to boots or stilettos, can have a smooth sole.
Keep in mind, no matter how warm these boots are, you will fall in them even in the snow, let alone ice. Therefore, first of all, think about comfort and safety, and then about beauty. Believe me, there are a lot of boots that are equipped with a small studded platform and at the same time look quite neat and feminine. By the way, it is worth noting that shoes with too thin soles will not be comfortable to wear. You will feel every stone under your feet.
