Choosing Stylish Casual Shoes Will Keep You Looking Good In Comfort

By Bernice Terry


Stylish casual shoes can be worn every day, offer superior comfort, and are suitable to wear just about anywhere. Although they are not dressy, they can still be fashionable and look good with most outfits. Most casual footwear has a simple design and lower heel too if they are women's shoes. The toe bar and arches of the feet should be sufficiently supported for any activity involving more walking.

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.

Clogs are a casual shoe that is a hybrid between the sandal and the solid shoe, as it consists of a closed toe box but has an open back with a strap. They are easy to slip on and off and are great for people who are on their feet a lot. Most have a rubber insole for cushioned comfort inside and a wooden or rubber sole on the bottoms for optimal traction.

The moccasin provides the ultimate in comfort, with its sock or slipper-like feel. The original designs were made by Native peoples out of deerskin and were often elaborately decorated with bead work. Many of the styles today are made in factories, but still offer the same basic design and unsurpassable comfort. They are the closest one can get to walking barefoot.

Lace-up footwear comes in many styles and offers lightweight durability that makes it a popular choice for an everyday shoe. Once worn primarily for sports, sneakers or tennis shoes are today the go-to daily footwear for many people of all ages. The running shoe itself has become a style statement in recent years and is much sought-after. Other lace-up styles in leather and canvas are also available for a more formal appearance.

Ballet flats are a simple, form-fitting shoe popular with a lot of women. It is best to choose one that has both a cushioned insole and just a slight heel, which will give extra support to the feet when walking. They must fit properly, and those designs which include a strap are preferable.

No matter what style of casual footwear a person chooses, he or she must ensure that it fits correctly. The salesperson at the shoe store should carefully measure the foot's width, length, and shape so the customer knows the proper size to buy. If footwear is not fitted right, it can cause a number of painful issues in 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.
