This one's for men and women. I know many individuals who want to look nice but due to being clueless when it comes to fashion (their words not mine!), having back issues or other physical considerations, or being on a budget, don't know what shoes to wear other than sneakers. If you read the newsletter regularly you know I'm not a fan of wearing sneakers unless a) you are working out or on your way to or from a workout or b) they are trendy sneakers that look intentional. Here are a couple of pieces of advice regarding shoe options:
1. Do a little research! If any of the reasons above hit home, with a little research you can find brands that work for you. There are many brands that cater to a style + comfort crowd. And don't forget, TCM does personal shopping so if you need help, give us a shout! Also though those brands tend to be expensive if you shop around and look out for coupons/discounts you can score big. I love Clarks brand shoes for style and comfort. They are quality and comfortable. I just came across a pair at the outlet for $25 (or 2 for $40) last week! I passed them up but I was amazed at the amazing value on a great brand.
2. This seems silly but I swear by Dr. Scholl's shoe inserts. I purchased them while working retail and standing for 7-9 hours at a time. By the end of my shift, my back would kill me until I started adding the insoles to my shoes. 3. Sometimes we just forget what's out there. There are so many options- ballet flats, boots, booties, pumps, trendy sneakers, loafers and/or boat shoes, etc. I love to browse Zappos
simply for ideas and inspiration. If your shoe collection is tiny, just start with the basics: light, dark, dressy, casual, flats, boots, pumps, sneakers.
