How To Select Stylish Casual Shoes For Comfort

By Bernice Terry


Stylish casual shoes are available in many designs for both women and men. This type of footwear is intended for daily use and comfort, but it can still boast a fun and colorful style. Typically casual footwear has a simpler design and in the case of women's shoes, a lower heel as well. The arches and toe bar of the feet should be supported by them, making them ideal for going for a walk or to the mall.

Sandals are the perfect casual shoe for warm weather. Designed to fit the foot's natural contours and evenly distribute weight, they offer decent support to the feet, ankles, and legs. If there is padding under the heels, this adds even more stability and promotes spinal alignment. Since they are open they also provide optimal ventilation for the feet.

The clog is another nice casual shoe. With a closed toe box they can resemble a solid shoe when worn with long pants and are easy to put on and off with their open, strapped backs. Most feature rubber insoles that cushion the feet while walking and a wooden or rubber sole on the bottoms which creates traction and preventing slipping. They are perfect for those who are on their feet for long periods of time.

Moccasins are a beautifully crafted, comfortable shoe which was first made by Native peoples from materials such as deerskin. They fit close to the foot almost like a sock or slipper. Today there are also commercially manufactured moccasins which are based on this original design and come in many attractive styles. When worn they give one the feeling of being barefoot.

The classic lace-up shoe is generally lightweight supportive and made for comfort, yet it can also be a fashion statement. No longer just reserved for sports, tennis or running shoes are a popular choice for everyday use. There are also durable lace-up designs made from leather or canvas which are a bit dressier in style.

The ballet flat is a stylish but comfortable shoe that many women like. When selecting this type of footwear, it's important to look for a design that has a cushioned insole and a slight heel as this will provide more support to the feet when walking. It should be exactly the proper size, and if there is a strap across the top this is even better.

Whichever style of casual footwear one favors must be a proper fit for his or her feet. At the shoe store, the salesperson will accurately measure the length, width, and shape of customers' feet to ensure they select footwear best-suited to these measurements. Poorly fitted shoes can lead to many problems with the feet and legs.

First trying on any pair of stylish casual shoes before buying them is a definite must. Walking around the store for a few minutes to ensure the toes are not being compressed and that there is no slipping or pinching in the heel is important. One should also inspect them for any signs of cracked leather, poorly sewn seams, or poor quality insoles, and if any of these are present the shoes should be passed over.
