How to pick the perfect back to school shoes

With all the choices out there, shopping for a pair of shoes can be a big headache especially if you are clueless on what to pick and if you’re a bit strapped for cash. Looking for the ideal pair of shoes for school means having it match with most of your outfits in your closet. To help you out, read on for more tips on how to find the perfect pair of shoes this school year!

1. Comfort is the key

This is very important. You should select a pair of discount shoes that feels comfortable whenever you have them on and never settle for anything less because if you do, it will just end up at the back of your closet even before the first quarter finishes. Know your exact shoe size when shopping, the key to determine this is to go shopping with your mom or a trusted friend and have several sizes fitted onto your feet. Walk around the store with the shoes that you’ve chosen to test if they perfectly fit and feel comfortable for you to wear and if it doesn’t, it’s time to put it down and look for something else. Another thing to remember: it’s really not on SALE if it doesn’t fit you!

2. Take a hard look at your closet

Open your closet and take a closer look at your wardrobe. Is your closet full of neutrals such as white, black, navy or browns? Or does your closet look as if it has been splashed with rainbow colors such as reds, yellow, pinks, oranges and greens? This will help you determine what shade of shoes you should look for in the store or on the internet. If you live in neutrals, you need to pick something that belongs to the same color family. Start from there and if you have any extra cash, you can pick several pairs in an interesting color to add punch into your outfit.


3. Determine your physical activities

Are you the type of girl who loves to walk around in heels? Then choosing classic pumps is your best option. Or if you’re the type of girl who is frequently found on school conducting meetings, attending class debates and managing the school’s newspaper, then a pair of ballet flats or loafers will work perfectly onto your activities. Coach shoes and Boutique 9 shoes are your best bet because they are comfortable to wear and are made with the finest quality. Nine West boots are also a good choice for students who wish to look stylish and chic during the winter season.
