What is it with this love affair that women have with their shoes? When it comes to shoes, women can never own enough. A typical woman has anywhere between 10 and 75 pairs of shoes in her closet. Unlike the rest of their body, women's feet tend to stay the same size no matter their body shape. That makes buying shoes a great, long-term investment. That's also why it is a good idea to invest in a great pair of well-made, classic style shoes. There are a few staples that every woman should have in her shoe rack. Investing in a good pair of these six classic styles will carry a lady effortlessly and beautifully through the fall season. These six must-have shoes for fall can be found for purchase in a variety of colors and heel heights. The following sections discuss each of the six in depth.
Shoe 1: A Great Flat
A great flat is extremely versatile. This shoe can go everywhere and be worn with everything. No matter how vertically challenged a woman is, flats are a great all-around shoe. They are classy enough to be worn to work, comfortable enough to be worn all day, casual enough for a Saturday afternoon, and cute enough for a night out. Find a pair that fits absolutely perfectly. Then, keep them in your bag for when your feet feel a bit tired from the day. The key to making flats a staple in a gal's wardrobe is to select styles in neutral colors like black, or ,if black is tiresome, brown. Metallic flats are easy to pair with just about any outfit, and can also be a great flat shoe staple.
Shoe 2: A Gorgeous Pair of Pumps
The quintessential staple of any woman's wardrobe is her pumps. Like flats, pumps are so versatile that they can work with almost any outfit. They can style-up a pair of jeans, power-up a suit, and play-up a feminine dress. Not to mention, they make any outfit for a night out sexier. Because of the heel, this must-have shoe makes a woman's leg look longer and sexier. This classic style is an investment piece that a woman will have around for years to come. Therefore, be sure to buy the highest quality pump you can afford.
Pumps all into a variety of heel heights. So, finding the most comfortable heel is no problem. Pumps can be flat heel, low heel, medium heel, kitten heel, high heel, and stilettos. Of course just like flats, flat heels are the most easy to wear, with their small spike rising only a half-an-inch. Pumps with low heels can be very comfortable because they offer a very slight rise in the heel that is between three-quarter and one-and-a-half inches.
A less extreme version of the three-inch stilettos, kitten heels are short, slender heels that measure between one-and-a-half and two and three-quarter inches high and have a slight curve from the edge of the shoe. Like kitten heels, medium high heels typically are between one and three-quarters and two and three-quarters inches tall, and have a straighter edge from the shoe.
Stilettos are long, thin, high heels that measure two and three-quarter inches or more. No matter the shape of the heel, pumps are considered high heels when they are between three or more inches high.
The classic pump can never be beat. Its styling is elegant and it has yet to go out of style. Some other styles of pumps are becoming classics and deserve a second look. Consider open toe, sling back, or mary jane styles when shopping for these must-have shoes. A new style that has given pumps an updated look are platform pumps. However,, this style is trendy and one day may not be found on the runways.
Whatever the style or height of the heel, pumps can only be a staple in the wardrobe if they are in a color that works with just about everything in your wardrobe. Colors like black, brown, or even nude will be that versatile.
Shoe 3: Knee-High Boots
When the temperature starts to drop, knee - high boots are the go-to shoes. They can be worn over a pair of skinny jeans, under a pair of slacks, or with a fall skirt. A pair of sleek, sophisticated leather boots that rise to mid-calf (or just under the knee) are great for both casual and professional settings. High quality boots protect against the elements, and can take a lot of use before showing any signs of wear. Nothing is more sexy than a pair of sleek, stiletto, or kitten heel pointed toe boots, like a super heroine wears. However, equestrian style boots offer a classic, slightly more comfortable styling with a sporty feel. Whatever the style, look for knee-high boots in neutral colors like black or brown that can be paired with just about anything in a fall wardrobe.
Shoe 4: Winter Wedges
Wedges are a stylish addition to a fall wardrobe. Don't think strappy sandals, but closed toe styles for those days when a lady needs more stability than heels offer. Because of the filled gap between the heel and the toe of their soles, wedges offer more traction and make it easier to walk. Just like with pumps, wedges can make the leg look longer and sexier. To keep this style a staple, choose classic neutral colors like black, brown, or even nude.
Shoe 5: Cute Rain Boots
Fall is a wet season. Therefore, it is a goo idea to invest in a pair of rain boots to keep the toes dry. Because they are likely to be an accessory just about everyday, why not select a pair with style? Whether called rain boots, rubbers or galoshes, these waterproof boots come in a variety of styles, from the fashionable, to the classic, to the humorous. Be sure to choose a pair close to your size, or they could be either too tight or too loose.
Shoe 6: One pair of trendy shoes
Nothing can update a wardrobe easier than a pair of trendy, fashionable shoes. This may seem a bit frivolous to those on a tight budget, but investing in one pair of shoes from the runways can take any outfit from okay to stylish. Shoes like a bright pair of pumps or wedges, animal print pumps or wedges, above the knee boots, or even a pair of party shoes can be the go-to shoes for a fall night on the town, a day of shopping with the girls, or that date with a special someone.
Buying Shoes on eBay
These must-have shoes for fall can be found in department stores and clothing boutiques, as well as as online marketplaces like eBay. If you are thinking about purchasing shoes online at eBay, you can start by searching the auction listings, where you will find many beautiful women's shoes for sale in the Women ' s Shoes category. Since you will not be able to try them on for fit before purchasing, be sure of your size by going to a local shoe store to have your feet sized. While you are there, try on several shoes similar to the style that you are looking to buy.
Sort Listings by Price
Once you know how much you'd like to spend on your must-have shoes, you can always sort search results by price. This will also help you to determine which sellers are offering the best deals on the shoes that you are thinking about buying.
Know the Seller
Depending on the pair, shoes can be a pricey investment. So, you will want to be sure to get to know the seller before making a purchase. Ask for proof of the label, if the seller is advertising a specific designer shoe. Check to see if other customers have been satisfied by looking at the positive Feedback on the seller's profile. Also, be sure to look for listings from top - rated sellers to make sure you are getting the highest level of customer service and reliability. But when you start looking at the eBay listings, pay attention to seller feedback, as well as to the items they have for sale. Sellers with a lot of positive feedback are likely to provide a satisfactory experience, and are apt to offer high quality merchandise and great customer service. Also, by getting to know one or more reputable sellers, you can feel confident purchasing new shoes on eBay.
