Size
This is undoubtedly the first thing that you should consider. There are simple as well as complex designs, and varied sizes. There are small shoes and even large ones to fit women with bigger feet, such as size 10 ½, size 11 ½ and even size 12. You should also consider the width – whether it is wide, medium or extra wide. It is important to get wide sizes if you have legs of a large size. Medium and narrow shoes are for those who wear narrow pairs of footwear. Some of the medium sized shoes can fit well enough and consist of a lot of toe space.
Comfort
Make sure that it is comfortable, and is known to offer comfort when worn straight out of the box. While a break in period has to be granted to some shoes until the time they stop pinching or hurting, the period has to be short enough with the shoes of your choice. With bad shoes, your toes can remain squeezed and crunched for a long time to come.
Heel size
It has to be chosen as per the situation. You will need an elevated dress shoe in case you are planning to go to an official presentation. Flat shoes and sandals with elevated wedges look perfect with shorts, long skirts and long summer dresses. The heel needs to be comfortable and should depend on your activity, type of occasion and the extent of walking involved while wearing it.
Color
You should go for shoes which can really compliment your outfits. Black shoes can be paired with almost anything in your closet, and naturally it is a color to go for. Those with bold colors are also good choices. Green colored shoes are perfect with long skirts while red ones are cool choices with short skirts and shorts
