The shoe edit: Find the perfect shoes for Spring

Be bold, daring, stylish, and practical this Spring season

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe and update your shoe collection. As the weather starts to warm up, it's time to put away your winter boots and invest in new shoes that are perfect for the season, your feet, and your budget šŸ˜‰. But with so many different styles and options available, finding the perfect shoes for spring can be a daunting task. So here are my tips and tricks to help you find the perfect shoes for spring.

Consider the Occasion

The first thing you need to consider when shopping for shoes for spring is the occasion. Are you looking for shoes to wear to work, a wedding, or a casual day out? Different occasions call for different types of shoes. For example, if you're looking for shoes to wear to work, you may opt for a pair of comfortable flats or low heels. You may want a pair of dressy sandals or pumps if you're attending a wedding or more formal events. And if you're looking for casual shoes to wear on the weekends, consider a pair of sneakers, loafers, or mules.

Think about Comfort

Think about comfort regarding shoes; comfort is key. You want to avoid being stuck in painful shoes, especially if you'll be on your feet for long periods. Look for shoes with a cushioned footbed, good arch support, and a comfortable sole. If you're skeptical about the comfort level of a particular shoe, try it on and walk around for a few minutes to see how it feels. I know this is not an option when ordering online, but in that case, make sure you read the reviews and the return policy before ordering šŸ‘.

Consider the Material

The material of the shoe is also an essential factor to consider when shopping for shoes for spring. You want to choose a breathable and lightweight material, such as canvas, mesh, or leather. Avoid materials that are too heavy or warm, such as suede or wool, even though I would pull a suede šŸ¤£. You also want to choose a material that is easy to clean and maintain, especially if you plan on wearing the shoes frequently.

Look for Versatility

When shopping for shoes for spring, it's critical to look for versatile shoes that can be worn with various outfits. Look for shoes that can be dressed up or down and worn with casual and dressy outfits. Neutral colors such as black, nude, and beige/bone are always a safe bet; you can pair them with almost any outfit.

Consider the Trends

While it's important to choose comfortable and versatile shoes, it's also important to consider the current trends. Spring is a time for bright colors and fun patterns, so don't be afraid to choose a little bolder and more daring shoes. Some of the current trends for spring include pastel colors, animal prints, and chunky heels.

Don't Forget About Functionality

Finally, when shopping for shoes for spring, remember functionality. If you live in an area with a lot of rain, add a pair of waterproof shoes to your wardrobe. If you plan on doing a lot of walking, choose a pair of shoes with good traction. And if you're spending a lot of time outdoors, choose a pair of shoes that are easy to clean and maintain.

Finding the perfect shoes for spring doesn't have to be a daunting task. By considering the occasion, comfort, material, versatility, trends, and functionality, you can find shoes that are both stylish and practical. So go ahead and refresh your shoe collection for spring ā€“ your feet will thank you! Let me know in the comments if this was helpful.
