with a basic black mid- to high-heel pump. You can wear this shoe with straight-leg pantsuits as well as skirted suits. Pumps truly are a businesswoman's staple.

1. Consider a pair of leather loafers for a more casual look. This style is appropriate for both wide- and straight-leg pants, as well as your basic straight skirt. Black is the most versatile and the dressiest color; dark brown will make a rich contrast to navy, but will definitely be viewed as more casual.
2. Buy a pair of sling-back pumps for spring suits. They're elegant and classic, and widely accepted in less conservative work environments.
3. Decide on a heel height that gives you the lift you'd like, but make sure that your feet can handle 40- to 80-hour work weeks at that elevation. Covered heels are dressier than their stacked counterparts.
4. Invest in high-quality, well-made shoes that fit your feet. Over the long haul, your feet will be in better condition, and your shoes will last longer.
5. Consider the texture and weight of your suit's fabric. Heavier-weight fabrics call for leather, whereas a microfiber shoe is appropriate for silk and nylon blends.
6. Shine leather shoes regularly. This lengthens the life of the shoe and conveys a more professional and polished appearance.
7. Resole your pumps as they wear down at the rubber or plastic tipping. Neglecting this may saw your heel down to the leather stem and damage the shoe.

Tips & Warnings

• When your leather shoes get caught in the rain or land in a puddle, blot the excess moisture and air dry. Avoid drying them with any heat sources, as this will parch the leather and damage the shoe.

How to Choose High-Quality Shoes

: : Home : :

For High Fit

1. Ask a salesperson to measure both your feet, as right and left foot sizes often differ slightly.
2. Try on shoes with socks of appropriate thickness'bring nylons, dress socks or athletic socks, depending on the type of shoe you're thinking of buying.
3. Press on the shoe to locate your longest toe. You should feel at most a thumb's width between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
4. Walk several paces with the shoes on and feel how they fit around your heels, insteps, balls and toes.
5. Make sure the shoe doesn't scrape against your anklebone.
6. Keep in mind that shoes should feel comfortable from the start; don't rely too much on 'breaking them in' over time, despite what the salesperson may say.

for high Quality

1. Examine the sole to make sure it is firmly attached to the shoe. Keep in mind that some soles are cemented to the upper shoe and others are stitched. Either type is acceptable, and some shoes (mainly men's shoes and athletic shoes) will be both cemented and stitched.
2. Check the heel. High-quality dress shoes have leather heels, sometimes with a layer of rubber or nylon on the back edge of the heel. Heels on high-heeled shoes for women are usually made of plastic and covered with leather. The higher the price, the higher quality the plastic.
3. Inspect the shoe's interior. Leather interiors absorb foot moisture best. Good-quality shoes are fully lined from front to back.
4. Consider the shoe material. Shoes with an oiled, natural finish are durable, while patent- and polished-leather shoes resist dirt. Suede shoes stain easily and need to be sprayed with a protectant.
5. Examine buckles and any adornments on the shoe. They should be securely attached and reinforced with even, smooth double stitching.

Tips & Warnings

• You should not find bits of glue anywhere on the shoe. This is especially true for athletic shoes.

How to Select Shoes to Wear With a Knee-Length Skirt or Dress

: : Home : :

1. Consider where you'll be wearing your outfit. For a casual job, loafers and flats are excellent choices. For a dressier job, stick with pumps. Go out on the town in strappy, high-heeled sandals. When attending summer parties, opt for the more casual wedge-heeled sandal.
2. Choose color wisely. Black is a business standard. Navy is most appropriate when worn with a navy outfit. A rich medium brown will casually complement all tan, navy and black-toned ensembles.
3. Play with the color of your leisure time shoes. Contrast your black evening attire with a bright red or hot pink shoe. Or coordinate the color of your top with the color of your shoes.
4. Wear knee-high boots in the winter months to keep warm. Because this look can shorten the appearance of the leg, give short legs a lift with a slight heel.
5. Balance the weight of your garment with that of your shoes. Lightweight fabrics like silk and linen are best accessories with lightweight leather and microfiber shoes. Heavier leather shoes will balance thicker skirts.
6. Remember that suede is considered more casual than leather, and patent leather will dress up your spring ensembles.

Tips & Warnings

• When venturing out in sandals, remember your toes! Touch up toenail polish, and ensure the color complements your outfit.
• When your good leather shoes get caught in the rain or land in a puddle, blot the excess moisture and air dry. Avoid drying them with any heat sources, as this will parch the leather and damage the shoe.
  
  

How to Select Shoes to Wear With Straight-Leg Pants

: :Home: :

1. Pair straight-leg pants with medium-heeled pumps or loafers for a classic office
2. Choose hose or thin nylon socks that match the color of your shoes to achieve a dressier look. The lighter the stocking, the more casual the look.
3. Dress up straight-leg cotton or nylon casual pants with quilted ballet slippers or flirty mules.
4. Opt for ankle boots during the winter months. Make sure your pants hang comfortably over the top. Since they may ride up when you sit down and cross your legs, choose socks that work well with the rest of your ensemble.
5. Go for canvas sneakers or walking shoes when you can dress down, but must stay on your feet or do a lot of running around.
6. Create the illusion of longer legs by matching your shoes to the color of your pants.
7. Remember that black is the dressiest color, while brown is viewed as more casual. Match the color of your belt to that of your shoes.

Tips & Warnings

• When your good leather shoes get caught in the rain or land in a puddle, blot the excess moisture and air-dry them. Avoid drying them with any heat sources, as this will parch the leather and damage the shoes.
  
  
  

How to Make Shoes Last Longer

1. Avoid wearing shoes two days in a row, and allow shoes to air out for 24 hours.
2. Change into flat shoes when driving to avoid breaking a heel.
3. Be sure leather shoes dry completely if worn on a rainy day.
4. Polish leather shoes when the material loses its luster.
5. When necessary, have a shoe repair shop replace the taps on your heels, or resole your shoes when they have worn down.
6. Have shoes refinished and dyed when the color begins to fade.
7. Have another layer of tread added onto tennis shoes.
