Frequently asked questions about women's shoes

Which women's shoes for a wedding?

Steve Madden or Tamaris heels remain the safe choice, and Flabelus velvet ballet flats offer a flat alternative for dancing all evening. Heeled mules suit summer ceremonies.

Flat or heeled ankle boots: which to choose?

A flat ankle boot can be worn all day and on any surface, while a heeled ankle boot lengthens the silhouette but tires the feet sooner. For a single purchase, a flat ankle boot with a lug sole is the most versatile.

Which women's shoes for wide feet?

Sandals with adjustable straps adapt best. Birkenstock offers its sandals in regular and narrow widths: the regular width suits most feet.

How do I care for leather ankle boots?

Brush off the dust, then condition the leather with a leather restorer cream that matches its colour before winter. Let a wet pair dry away from a radiator.

Which women's shoes should I pack for a trip?

A pair of sneakers for walking, a light sandal or mule and a loafer for the evening cover most situations. Women's loafers slip easily into a suitcase.
