Depending on the length of your evening gown, your shoes may not even be a visible part of your ensemble – however that doesn’t make them any less important! Shoe’s are still a vital accessory, even if no one ever sees them! We found a ton of great options by popular shoe company – Nine West. What we love about these shoes is the fact that they are not only fashionable, but are great quality as well! Some of our picks aren’t traditional considerations for formal dresses – but that is the beauty of it all!
Nine West Women’s Olavera Sandal
Nine West Women’s Mocha Slingback Sandal
This is an example of a shoe that may not be considered for a traditional formal event, but it is perfect! If your dress is a solid color of any of the prominent colors in this shoe, it’s perfect! A print pattern shoe like this is an ideal accent to a solid color dress! If you like the shoe but not the color, it is available in 8 colors including white, black, gold and silver.
Nine West Women’s Tenara Sandal
This black medium heeled shoe features gold accent pieces, ideal for a black and gold dress. Be careful when matching your jewelry accessories with this dress. If you aren’t wearing gold colored jewelry – this may not be the shoe for you. It is also available in bronze/gold combination.
Nine West Women’s Roxanne Sandal

This one is definitely more of a traditional consideration for a formal gown shoe. It’s a mid-heel and appears to be very comfortable. It’s available in a variety of colors including black and pewter/silver.

Searching for the Perfect Prom Shoe

Finding the right pair of prom shoes is essential, and every bit as important as finding the dress. These days, it really doesn’t have to be that hard! With literally hundreds of online shoe retailers available, your search will be easy! There are a few tips and tricks, do’s and don’ts, that will help you make the perfect outfit, beautifully complete.
Silk Couture, Rhinestones, Gold, Silver, Bronze, a myriad of options. Strapped and dressy heels are always a popular choice, and if you can walk in them, why not? They look great with most of the dress styles, often chosen for Prom Night, and are elegant. Plus, they make your legs look longer! All the things a lady loves. For most, a couple of inches is usually sufficient enough to create the desired effect. Style is important, but some of the more practical aspects, with regards to your Prom shoes, have to be adhered to! Or you might well end up suffering the consequences!
Make sure your prom shoe is comfortable!:
That seems a contradiction in itself! Is there a practical and elegant solution? Strapped styles can look fabulously elegant, but if you find them a bit tricky to walk in, try a style which has an enclosed toe. Soft leather is best, and that extra bit of support can be the difference between you, and your feet, remaining elegant and upright, throughout the evening. After all, no matter how beautiful they look, if you end up breaking a toe all that will be thrown out of the window. Probably along with your shoes!
Making your final decision:
No matter which shoe you opt for, it is important that your prom shoes and Prom dress match in style. Strapped sandals and high heels look great, but tend to suit more tight fitting dresses better. Full skirted designs look fabulous with ballet style shoes or kitten heels. The most popular colors choices seem to be shiny metallic gold and silver, and classic black. There are usually only two options when it comes to matching colours. The first is to choose one of the popular choices, the other is to dye them. You can do this yourself, but it’s generally best to leave it to the professionals.
Breaking in your Prom Shoes:
Do not leave buying you new prom shoes until the last minute. It’s could be a big mistake! Comfort should be of great consideration, make sure they are the right size, no matter how pretty they are! Whenever possible, wear them around the house. Just enough to take away the ‘newness’ of them, making sure you feel at ease in your fabulous new, party night, prom shoes

Tips to find the Perfect Prom Shoes

Perfect Prom Shoes – Simple Tips On How To Find Them
You’ve spent countless hours searching for the perfect prom dress, and finally found it. Now you need to find the perfect shoe to go with your dress. But it doesn’t have to be hard! All you need to know is a few fashion tricks, and the perfect prom shoe will be yours.
The most important thing to keep in mind is comfort. It doesn’t matter how amazing and fantastic the shoe that you pick is – if you are unable to walk by the end of the night, it was the wrong one! How can you look at your best if your feet feel like they are about to fall off?
High heels are a common style of shoe, and for good reason – they make your legs look l
onger and slimmer and force you to keep good posture. But you don’t need to go ridiculous with the heel height. Two-inch heels are more than enough to give the desired effect while saving your poor feet.
If you are used to them, strapped dress sandals are quite popular and can be worn with most dresses. But they can be a pain to wear – you may find it more comfortable to choose a dress shoe with an enclosed toe. If you get an enclosed toe, make sure they have a soft, cushioned upper lining (leather is preferable).
Another option for shoes that are extremely comfortable to wear are ballet shoes. Unfortunately they are only suitable with full skirts (they just don’t look right with tight fitted dresses).
It probably doesn’t need to be said, but do ensure that you pick shoes that are the correct size for you. Shoes that are too big or too small will never feel comfortable, and a shoe that is too big could leave you with blisters or even come off at an embarrassing moment!
Once you have decided on your shoes for the prom, make sure you wear them in before the night. The easiest way to do this is to wear them around the house for an hour or so each day for a week. If you aren’t used to the style of shoe you bought, this also gives you a chance to become used to them.
One final tip; it can be difficult to find a colour that matches exactly, so you will have two options. You can try to find a complementary colour (for example, black to go with a dark coloured dress), or if the shoe is the right type you can dye it to match.
If you decide to dye your shoes, remember that dyed items look different indoors compared to outdoors. For example, shoes dyed grey may take on a purple tone outside. There is nothing that can be done to stop this, so be sure to tell your dyer if the event is indoor or outdoor.
