  • Q: Dear Shoe Lady, My prom is coming up in May, and I’m having trouble finding the perfect shoe. The color of my dress is aqua blue. Do you have any advice on what direction to take? Thank you! --Amanda A: Dear Amanda, Depending on what details your dress has, metallic can be a striking choice. They provide a shiny accent to your outfit without overpowering it. I have included some pictures of possible options.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_" addthis:url='http://asktheshoelady.com/2011/03/my-prom-is-coming-in-may-need-perfect-shoe/' addthis:title='My prom is coming in May.

  • Dear Shoe Lady, I've been married for over 10 years but I really want to spice things up this Valentine's Day!! I already have the perfect dress -- it's a classic LBD -- so can you recommend perfect red shoes? Happy V-Day! Kirsten Kirsten, It's hard to go wrong when you have a Little Black Dress to work with, but I'd love to recommend some of my favorite vibrant reds pairs. That being said, I'm not sure if you're looking for high heels or not, so I've included a pair of flats I like as well.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_" addthis:url='http://asktheshoelady.com/2011/02/valentines-day-shoes/' addthis:title='Valentine’s Day Shoes' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>

  • Dear Anna, It sounds like you need some booties! What's great about them is that they keep your feet covered but unlike boots, you don't have to worry about what they'll look like under pants or jeans. I've found that booties are especially helpful now that skinnier pant legs are in fashion and my higher boots are just unflattering on my calves when I'm wearing pants. Also, if you miss all the color that comes with summer fashion, try winter's hottest color, dark purple. It's fun, but still seasonal as it matches most winter colors.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_" addthis:url='http://asktheshoelady.com/2011/02/dressy-footwear-that-covers-your-feet/' addthis:title='Dressy footwear that covers your feet?' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>

  • I like to walk and like to take the opportunity during the day to get out for a longish stroll.  Or I'll get off the subway a stop early and walk the extra distance.  I do not like to have to change my shoes to official "walking shoes" everytime I want to walk.  I like to wear the same pair of shoes all day and I don't want them to look clunky and orthopedic.  What do you recommend? <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_" addthis:url='http://asktheshoelady.com/2009/10/shoes-for-walking/' addthis:title='Shoes for Walking' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>

  • Hi I love your website! I have measured my feet as per your instructions on the website. Exact measurements are: Length 9 7/8 inches width: 3 3/8 inches. I am not sure what width and length that equates to on your sizing on the website. I am guessing it's a 10 N. Is that correct? I live in Australia. What would the postage be?<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_" addthis:url='http://asktheshoelady.com/2009/03/narrow-feet-in-australia/' addthis:title='Narrow Feet in Australia' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>
