So you’ve finally found the perfect prom gown after months of searching. You can’t wait until it is ready to be adorned for a night of dancing and partying.  It should be a major confidence booster that you have found a prom gown you love, but what about your shoes? One of the most important pieces of any ensemble, prom shoes can really add to your overall style and the look of your prom gown. While the gown itself is without doubt the most important item, your choice of shoes can either make it or break the look as a whole. This does not have to be difficult, as long as you know a few fashion tricks which you can pick up by speaking to the professionals, browsing styles online, or looking through magazines.

Leave Room for Shoes

Make sure your shoes match and complement the color and the design of your dress and the shape of your foot. Of course you should check and see if you will be able to walk and dance in them.  This will help to ensure that you find the right balance between style and comfort before you slip on your ‘magic slippers’ for the evening of your life.

Fashion vs. Comfort

Some girls do not have a problem with foregoing comfort for fashion, especially if it comes down to a choice between the perfect pair of shoes and a pair that are just not as nice. However, you can have both, easily.  The worst thing you can do on the night is to cripple yourself and not be able to dance the night away with your friends, or worse have to kick off your shoes just so that you can walk.  A pair of amazing shoes is one thing, spoiling your look is quite another.

High heels are always first choice because they make legs longer and slimmer and they also contribute to your look by forcing you to keep an upright posture. However, there are comfortable heels and there are ridiculous heels too and unless you are used to wearing six inch heels, stay away from them on the night.  A two inch heel is quite adequate while giving your legs the look you want, you will also be able to save your feet unnecessary hardship.

Heeled shoes come in a variety of options, from the most popular strappy sandal to the enclosed toe shoe.  While sandals are pretty and look fantastic on manicured feet, they can be hard to wear all night because they don’t give a lot of support while dancing.  If you opt for the more comfortable enclosed toe, make sure it has a soft cushion lining so they won’t end up you giving your toes a blister.

Ballet shoes while extremely comfortable do not enhance many prom gowns.  They are better suited to full skirts and generally do not look good with tight fitting dresses.  So if you are going to go this route, make sure the style of your gown is suitable.

Something which should be fundamental is that your shoes be the correct size for your feet.  Too large and they might fly off and embarrass you, too tight and you will live to regret it later on that night. Wear your shoes in before the prom.  Wear them at home for an hour a night so that you get used to how they feel and get used to them, and if the soles are made of leather it will give you the chance to rough them up a little so that you don’t slip or skid on the dance floor. Fashion options

Your shoes absolutely and positively have to match your ensemble.  They need not be the same color, and if not, they have to be complimentary.  Whites, crème, black, gold and silver are the most popular choices for evening, but again be careful that they are complimentary as you don’t want your feet standing out like a ‘sore thumb’ on the night of the prom.

Silver and gold shoes are ideal colors for sparkling, shimmering evening dresses, while black shoes suit dark dresses superbly.  White and crème shoes should be worn with caution and unless you are very good at fashion styling should be avoided if possible.

You even have the option of being able to dye your shoes to match your outfit, but be cautious.  Unless you are using a professional to dye your shoes they may come out a different shade.  Leather and synthetic leather shoes can be dyed as well as satin and fabric shoes.  Give the person dyeing your shoes a color swatch from your gown and check that the color is what you want before he or she goes ahead with the actual dyeing process.

Try to choose a pair of shoes that can be worn again after the prom night so that you can get the most out of your investment; buy a pair of shoes that are functional and comfortable while being beautiful and stylish.

Finding the perfect prom dress is only half the battle. Now it

When choosing a pair of dyeable shoes, fabrics and textures play a crucial role. Unless your shoes are covered in the same fabric as your dress, you may not get a perfect match, so it is important that you try to get the closest match possible between the texture of your shoes and your gown. A general rule to this is to match the texture of your shoes to the texture of your gown so that you can create a seamless flow between the two and it should draw less attention to your shoes.DecisionsWhile it is important to match the color of your gown to the color of your shoes, selecting your shoe fabric is also important. Generally, your wedding gown depicts which type of fabric you should select for your shoes in order to achieve a complimentary look on the day. There are many different fabrics and textures to choose from, but most wedding gowns are complimented by material like satin or silk instead of leather and suede.Different shoe fabrics work best with particular dress fabrics. For instance, when a wedding gown is created in crepe or with soft flowing fabrics like lace, the fabrics should compliment each other well. A shoe created in a low sheen also works well, but a satin or silk which has a high or ultra sheen compliments a gown made in silk, especially if it is a matte silk or matte satin.A shoe crafted in silk is a natural fabric that has a very soft sheen and goes very well with wedding gowns created in the same material. It can also be teamed with gowns that are sparking, diamond white in color, or dressed, which have the color of the natural white you find in silk itself. Wedding gowns that have a high satin sheen team up perfectly with a shoe in the same material. A satin shoe also dyes very well in dark hues and because of that, they can also be dyed to compliment a velvet gown to perfection. Another reason that the high sheen of satin and velvet complement each other is because the experience variances of color in different lighting situations like indoors and outdoors due to the reflectivity of their material. Shoes made with cotton based material blend superbly with crepe and silk wedding gowns, but this material does not dye very well to dark colors and for that reason they should be kept to the lighter color dyes. This type of material is least affected by outdoor variance in lighting because they absorb the light instead of reflecting it, and are therefore ideal for daytime weddings. Teaming these shoes with a satin or silk dress is a perfect match.It is not all about fabricDyeable shoes come in all the latest designs from stylish stiletto sandals to trendy wedges, traditional pumps, sling backs, peep toes, romantic ballet slippers and a host of other styles in-between. They are available in fabrics like satin, silk, and cotton blends. They are available in natural leathers, synthetic leathers as well as patent leathers and other synthetic materials. Choosing a shoe that has a heel height that you are used to wearing is important to providing yourself with the comfort to last all day. Since you are most likely wearing these shoes all day, this is an important factor to consider when choosing your shoe style.Choosing the right style to compliment your gown is a matter of personal choice but you may also receive advice from the specialists at the store where you purchased your wedding gown. Your shoes should complement the style of your dress. They should be beautiful and should suit the occasion. Sandals show off beautifully manicured feet and are perfect for that summer afternoon wedding; while an elegant, black tie evening wedding begs for the sheen of a soft satin pump or sling back. Or may want to marry in a garden setting and you cannot get a better shoe than a wedge to help navigate those uneven surfaces you will be walking on all day. The romance and innocence of a ballet slipper has a special place in most brides
