Buying and Preparation Wedding Shoes



Have u ever married? It must be busy to make all the preparation including the dress and the shoes. What about the shoes? I think a bride should be blooming and perfect, just like the wedding and the wedding day, and for a perfect bride, there should be perfect wedding shoes. To help you buying the perfect one, here is a guide that you can follow to buy that perfect pair for that very special day.

Choosing a color

You should match it with the wedding dress that you wear. Most the wedding dress is white but there are different shades of white, diamond white, pearl white, bone white, satin white, etc. The color of the shoes doen't has to be 100% same with the color of the dress, if you wear a pearl white wedding dress, you can match it with a diamond white color of wedding shoes. But if you pick your own color wedding dress like pink, don't match it with a green wedding shoes.

Style

beside color, style should be your next priority, your shoes should fit the occasion and the place. For example if you have a beach wedding or a garden wedding it’s not advisable to wear stilettos. For an evening event, you can use strappy evening sandals. Remember both shoe and dress need not be fancy, quite the opposite, you can wear fancy shoes for a simple dress or simple shoes for an extravagant dress, so that they sort of balance each other.

Comfort

After choosing the style and color, you must try your shoes on, remember you’d be wearing your shoes for the whole day, and maybe on the reception as well, you’d be expected to be in those shoes for more than four hours, and during the reception, might be asked to dance in them. Don't forget about the size, it shouldn't be too tight or too loose. You don’t want to get blisters on your special day so make sure that your shoes are comfortable especially to stand for a long time.

Details

If you want details on your shoes like crystals or rhinestones, make sure that the color , sheen and style match those of your dress, don’t wear bejeweled shoes on a gown that doesn’t have a single bit of crystal on it or you’ll look like an upside down lampshade when the lights hit you.

Extra shoes

If you think that your dancing shoes should be different than your actual wedding shoes, and you’d want an extra one, make sure that the heels of your extra shoes match those of your actual shoes so that your gown doesn’t look too short or too long when you wear them.

Alterations

Remember to bring your shoes with you when you’re getting your dress made or altered, this’ll make sure that the length of your gown matches the heels of your shoes, you won’t want your dress to drag or to look like its too short don’t you?


* Tips:
- Buy shoes towards the end of the day. The foot expands during the course of the day and you want to buy shoes when your feet are at its largest size.

- Wear your shoes inside the house before the wedding, do this until you can wear your shoes for 4-5 hours without hurting, this’ll make sure that the shoes are soft and comfortable on your wedding day, just don’t wear them outside.

What You should Know About Athletic Shoes

Athletic shoes are made into for men, women, and children. These shoes are designed to help a person achieve top performance in sports like baseball, golf, bowling basketball, football, or any other athletic or team sport. In addition, athletic shoes are created for running and walking as well. The type of sport shoe that a person needs will largely depends on the chosen sport, activity level and the preference of the person wearing the shoe.

When choosing an athletic shoe, consider how the shoe will be used. If you participate in casual sports activities such as neighborhood football matches or just playing basketball with some friends, you will not need an expensive athletic shoe. However, if you play sports competitively moreover its a national or international competition, you might want to consider specially made athletic shoes. For instance, a person who takes running very seriously, is more likely to invest in a higher quality athletic shoe than the average runner. Higher quality shoes are often needed because they are required to spend several hours a day training to build speed, and strength as they compete. In order to for runners to do this they will need a shoe that will last. This is true for those who play other types of competitive sports, as well.

The choice of athletic shoe is also important for moving and protecting the foot while participating in sports.

Therefore, the person needs the appropriate shoe for optimum performance and safety. The right shoes for every sport can make the athletes more comfortable and can move quickly. The wrong shoe can cause falling and injury to players. That's why we see that football shoes is different with running soes or basketnall shoes.


Sometimes a person can find a high quality athletic shoe from a manufacturer or retailer that does not advertise nationally. These types of shoes are often called “off brand” or “generic”. Many times, these shoes are just as durable and dependable as the regular name brand shoes, but often cost much less than name brand shoes. The fit of a shoe is usually a matter of personal preference, so before purchasing these off brand shoes, it is important to test them out for fit and feel.

Athletic shoes can be purchased for by online, in a store, or by mail order. When purchasing shoes online or mail order, there is always the risk of the shoe not fitting right because each brand will fit a little differently. However, you can increase your chances of finding a fitting shoe if you know a little about the brand of shoe that you choose to purchase. Also, consider trying the shoe on at a store before buying online.

When purchasing a shoe in a store, there may be a smaller selection than what is available online. However, the advantage is buying a shoe that will fit properly. This goes for the fitting of athletic shoes as well. If you do a little online research on athletic shoes before shopping at a store, it is easier to make a better decision about the purchase of shoes.
