Sexy high heels…the envy of every woman in the world as she sees someone strolling past her in them. Where did she get those? How expensive were they? What colors do they come in? And the final thought, I must have them! At that point in time you go scour every store or website online trying to find the shoe you had seen, or even a replica, wondering to yourself is this even a good shoe for me? When looking for that perfect pair of heels for yourself you need to consider several different aspects because not every shoe is made for everyone. After all, there would not be so many styles of shoes and clothing if everyone could wear the same things.


Step 1: Try on all different types

Be sure when you are on the prowl for that perfect pair of heels you try on all different types of shoes. If you have a slender body type, purchase a narrower heel like a stiletto or thin wedge. This will keep your body proportional and not make you look bottom heavy. If you are pear-shaped, purchase a shoe with a thicker heel or wedge to keep your body proportional as well. Just keep in mind that there are several variations of high heels. You can choose a boot, a pump, a sling-back, or strappy sandal. However with a smaller amount of material you have less stability and support for your foot.


Step 2: Heel Height

Every woman dreams of wearing tall stilettos and turning heads wherever she walks. For some that is not always an option. Tall heels are great for people who do not have to walk great distances or be on their feet all day. This is one of the most important things to consider. Always ask yourself are these really going to be comfortable if I have to stand in them all day? If the answer is no, maybe you should consider a lower heel height. A mid-height heel or a kitten heel can be just as sexy as a higher heel.


Step 3: Color and Style

Neon colors are completely in style right now for spring and summer, but how long will you be able to wear those eccentric colors? Probably not past this summer and this will have meant that you went along with a trend and wasted your money. When in doubt always go with a basic black, nude, or brown. All of these colors are very timeless and they can be carried from season to season they are always in style.


Step 4: Fit and Comfort

ALWAYS make sure that shoes fit well. Never buy a shoe in a smaller size just because you love it and the store doesn't have your size. This always ends in disaster because the first time you wear these shoes your foot will be cramped, sore and secretly cursing at you. Then your new favorite shoes will become your worst enemy. Remember to take your time trying on the shoe, no one is rushing you.


Step 5: Trial Run

After you have found the shoes that will make the women of the world jealous make sure to break them in properly before walking miles in them. My best tip is to wear them out to dinner or a movie first that way you have ample walk time but still enough to let your feet get used to the new shoe. If the bottoms are completely smooth make sure to use the traction pads for the bottom that you can purchase at any convenience store. This will ensure that you will be able to walk with confidence and ease and not fall.


Step 6: Strut your Stuff

After you have broken in your new heels the only thing left to do is strut like a champ. After all you have spent all of this time searching for the perfect heels why not show the women of the world what they can be envious of now.
