What to Look for When Buying Summer Shoes/ Sandals?
Buying sandals only because they looked cute is not wise, especially when those sandals are going to sit in your cupboard for a long time. Why? Because they are not comfortable, and they hurt.
Here are a few things we would recommend you to consider whenever you are looking to buy sandals, so you use them as they should be used.
Where Do You Plan to Wear Them?
You may need to decide if you want a pair of sandals for the office? Or do you want to wear them on a shopping expedition? Maybe for a casual walk or to a beach?
Every single scenario requires a different type of sandal. You may want to buy flip flops for the beach, breathable sneakers like Loom sneakers for a walk, sporty shoes for a shopping spree, and formal sandals for office time. A high heeled dressy sandal may go with your parties etc.
You cannot wear high heels if you have to move a lot. Similarly, you cannot wear sneakers with an evening gown.
Know Your Body Limit and Choose Heel Height Accordingly
Although it looks tempting to wear very high heels when you see some lady rocking them, pass by. However, knowing your limitations and respecting them is the best thing to do.
Wearing 6 to 9 inches' heels is not everybody's cup of tea if you are unable to move around after wearing high heels, what the point of wearing them, and ruining your evening.
Always Check If the Sandals Supports the Right Way
While choosing the sandals, rethink about the occasion you want to use and make the purchase accordingly. If you're going to wear shoes with extra support, you may choose to buy sandals with ankle support or straps.
Similarly, for beaches or pools, you may want a comfortable slip-on shoe and opt for flip flops. For running or long walks, sneakers are an ideal choice, and the list goes on.
Buy the Right Size
We would recommend you always buy the right size. Wearing a size smaller or bigger comes with repercussions. You may end up with hurting feet, cuts, or even injured heels.
Additionally, what's the point of buying a pair of sandals in the wrong size, when ultimately you are not going to wear them due to discomfort.
Never compromise on the health of your feet.
Wrap Up
Summer is a time to rejoice in the warm sun. A time when you can comfortably breathe in the open air. When you get a chance to breathe easily, why not allowing your feet to breathe as well?
You are bound to perform better when your body is fully relaxed, most importantly, your shoes. Choose the right summer shoes for the occasion so that you can rock it.
As they rightly said, "Give a woman the right shoes, and she can conquer the world."
Our list of the best and cutest shoes for women in 2020 includes trendy yet comfortable shoes. Buying another pair of shoes here or there won't hurt.
Have fun shopping!
