Patent Leather after Labor Day?
Posted on December 8, 2011 | No CommentsDear Shoe Lady, Can patent leather be worn after labor day? Or would a flat leather alligator/snake pattered leather be more versatile? Dear Martha, Years ago, patent leather was a spring and summer staple, but nowadays, it’s uber-trendy to wear in the fall and winter. One good rule of thumb is the style/color should be appropriate to the season. Dark colors like purple, navy, black, maroon and grey are fashionable this winter. Comfortable shoe with a 2.5 inch heel suitable for work or paired with a dark jean. Or try a crinkled patent leather with a pop of color to... -
Heels Slip Out While Dancing
Posted on December 7, 2011 | No CommentsDear Shoe Lady, About 15 years ago I bought a pair of easy spirit shoes that fit me better than any shoes I have ever had. I believe they were labeled something like M A/B but I don’t remember exactly. I am a size 7 and 1/2 but the ball of my foot is wide and the heel is narrow and my arch is high. My feet look great in most shoes but I like to dance and have trouble with fitting my high arch and wide ball into a pair of 7 and 1/2 heels so I have to... -
Wide vs. Extra Wide Width
Posted on December 6, 2011 | No CommentsDear Shoe Lady, How do you know what size to order wide vs. extra wide? Dear Maddie, Thank you so much for your question! To achieve the most comfortable and accurate width fit you MUST measure the width of your feet. Women do not believe the width measurement is an important one but they couldn’t be more wrong! Think about the difference in inches between a wide and extra wide width. It’s 0.4 inches. Imagine having to cram your toes into a shoe that is a half an inch too small. Painful! The benefits of taking the time to measure... -
Sandals for a High Instep
Posted on December 5, 2011 | No CommentsDear Shoe Lady, Can you suggest some sandals that accommodate a high instep? I am traveling to Florida this winter and desperately need a new pair. I’m looking for sandals that are slightly dressy (1-2 inch heel) but also comfortable to walk in. I have good luck with Sofft shoes but they don’t always accommodate a high instep. I also have a wide toe area so I prefer either a wide width or a thong style. Dear Lu, Have you tried our shoes by Aerosoles? The brand is known for it’s comfort and most styles come in wide. I recommended... -

Shoes for Teachers
Posted on December 2, 2011 | No CommentsHello Shoe Lady, This is your sister again. I admit that I didn’t take the advice you offered last time I wrote. I succumbed to the ease of the washable shoes even though you recommended a nice mule. I’ve been on my feet teaching math here in Florida now for a few months. I’d like some comfortable, stylish shoes that I can wear throughout the school year. I’m looking for something with a 1″ heel in a cocoa brown color with a price that fits a teacher’s wallet and my short wide foot. Remember all those summers we went barefoot?... -
