We continue with the “Buying flattering Shoes” topic posted before few days.
Big Calves
If you have big calves then avoid very flat shoes as these can make calves look wider, and avoid high boots as not only will you find it difficult to get any that fit comfortably, but they will just highlight bigger calves. Also avoid very high heels as well, as these can bunch the calve muscles up and again make then look bigger.
Flat Feet
If you have very flat feet and fallen arches then you will need to think carefully about your shoes, as you will need extra support to help prevent problems such as foot, leg, hip and back pain. Choose shoes that have properly shaped foot beds such as Birkenstocks (there are now many fashionable designs available), as these provide a lot of support across the length of your foot and help to balance your weight, and try and stay away from high heels as these throw your weight forward and place a lot of strain on your feet and legs.
Wide, Long Feet
Big feet can look even longer in pointy-toed shoes, so avoid these and opt for round-toed designs that help to give the illusion of shorter feet, and are also a lot more comfortable for wider feet.
