We all have a penchant for something like a status symbol that no one else has. An exclusive brand not available or a design not found in all parts of the world. Shoes, mobiles, designer clothes, music systems, cars are all center of attraction when they carry a brand name. So of course, when one talks of brand name shoes it should be justified with a sleek pair. People buy them for various reasons- a memorable occasion, professional reason, to make a very good impression. What ever may be the reason brand name shoes will create a flutter in social circles.
Keep in mind if you are hunting for that ‘elusive’ brand name shoe they will be expensive. If that is going to knock off the monthly budget, make up your mind well. The occasion better be worth it- like your own marriage, 21st or 50th birthday etc. If you are a professional and being dressed for the job is a part of it then invest in a brand that will help you to stand out in the crowd. Professions like hospitality industry, modelling, fashion designers, and public relations need impressive persona to attract clientele. Good shoes do give the right impression to the party concerned.
All brand name shoes are not expensive. If you chose to patronize one or two brands, take care to see the prices, availability, sizes and designs from time to time. Also, check out if the store has enough branches in the city so that you are not stranded. When you are a loyal customer the company also gives mail alerts to help you to choose shoes. Both for men and women the loyalty will count more on the investment and how long the shoes will last. If you are a professional and need to wear the shoes six days a week it needs to be very comfortable. Women specially should check out the heel size for comfort.
There are plenty of brand name shoes for various events. Athletics’ or fashion, skating or dancing they all have special footwear. However, for every occasion it is not necessary to wear branded shoes. For instance, if you are just at home there is not need of designer sandals or slippers. Even ordinary ones will do. All parties need not be an excuse to wear those exclusive high-heeled sandals or boots. While buying brand name shoes also remember, they cater to the fashionable. So every season there may be new trend and the pair might get stale. Buy shoes, which will have an all season appeal.

wedding shoes

Of course there is romance in the air… when a wedding takes place. Many feet will also be up there in the air… fewer will be on the ground! It is time for fantasies to come alive, dreams to be realized and brides to be dressed from head to toe. So what about wedding shoes, how beautiful will they be and be picked up from where and most of all who will design them?

Frankly today it is easier to fetch the wedding shoes online, look at picture books and get them custom made and also fly across the continent and get a few pairs. Are the wedding/reception gown, sari and other clothes in place? It is much easier to choose when the dress is ready especially for the bride.
A gold designer pair suits red, beige, purple and green. A silver pair (even white or light gray) suits well for white gowns, reception outfits. As you take a dress rehearsal take a shoe rehearsal as well. It helps before you feel the aches and pains on the D-day! Try not to be too fashion conscious with wedding shoes.
High heels, stilettos can be avoided. Go for lower heals and let the pedicured-colored feet show. In India where there is problem of humidity try and avoid leather shoes. Leather lets off odor, which is avoidable. So chose a good shoe shop as well to buy from. For a bride and groom it is essential to get at least two pairs of shoes. Just to be sure they don’t break in the middle and not allow the best feet to step forward. If you do have a wedding planner try to get the best of help for shoes.
As for others they could go for a combination of fashion and comfort. Ladies wear those high heals only with good skirts and if you have good legs to carry them. No one wants to see a wobbly pair of feet waiting for on a fine occasion like a wedding. Plenty of choices from leather, suede, silk and other materials are available for shoes. And if you are part of the baarat and will dance wear flat embroidered jutis. They will let you dance away without the stress.
A nice tip especially for the bride would be to match her embroidered evening handbag with shoes! The groom can also take a tip get matching shoes. Please don’t mix western shoes with Indian dresses. Fusions don’t work on all occasions. Wedding is definitely not the occasion for this mix but matching will certainly rock!
