  • Dear Shoe Lady, I am looking for Silver HIGH HEELS in women’s size 12 or 13 wide. Can you help me? Silver is a striking color that works with a variety of other hues. I like to think of it as jewelry on your feet. A touch of a shimmer or metallic reflections can really help to complete a look. Here are a couple of options to get you started!

  • Dear Amber,

Your feet are closer to average in length and width than you think. By those two dimensions, you are a size 9.5W, not even an extra wide. The flat arches and the orthotics are the challenges. There are several brands that make styles with removeable inner soles which allows your orthotics to take up the space designed for the inner sole and makes a better fit. Soft Spots and some Naturalizers offer this feature, for example.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_" addthis:url='http://asktheshoelady.com/2011/03/flat-arches-are-a-challenge/' addthis:title='Flat Arches are a Challenge' ><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>

  • 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,

That's it, I'm ready for Spring!!! What are the hottest trends you're seeing so far for the season? I just bought the pair below but it's not enough to complete my spring wardrobe!

  • Dear Shoe Lady,

I always wear down my shoes on the inside bottom of the heel area.  Is this significant?

Marli 

Dear Marli,

EVERYTHING about shoes is significant!  Your shoes are telling you that you are probably a PRONATOR.  Don't worry, you will neither be arrested or required to change your voter registration.  But knowing this will help guide you in your selection of shoes.  A pronator has a type of foot that rolls far inward during the weight-bearing phase of the stride. This type of foot is characterized by a very low or flat arch.  <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_" addthis:url='http://asktheshoelady.com/2010/07/get-friendly-with-your-feet/' addthis:title='Get Friendly With 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>

  • Dear Shoe Lady,
I have lymphedema in both feet ,ankles,legs. I have a very real need for width measuring information. not just the ball of the foot but the arch as well. ironically my toes and heels are not affected
and are 'normal'. arch height is not the issue it's the height from floor over top of foot to floor. right now I make moccasins and measure this way [traditional] but mocs don't do well in wet or cold
weather or for dressy occasions!
The site is good for what is in it, but more measuring information in this area would of great help to me and others like me.

  • 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?

  • Dear Shoe Lady, I’m going to Italy for a two week vacation. I’ll never find my size there so I need to be sure to pack the right shoes. What do you suggest? SL, Tampa, FL Dear SL, Fortunately for you I can tell you what is in style this summer and what comfort and fashion oriented travelers are wearing. Lace ups are huge.
