How to properly assess the quality of shoes
Let’s tell you what you need to pay attention to first of all when buying shoes in order to ultimately choose a really high-quality and durable pair:
1. Tag product
The tag shows what the shoes are made of. Usually it is only for products made from natural materials: leather, suede, nubuck.
2. Tactility
Touch the item. If the shoes are made of genuine leather, heat will emanate from it. And if leatherette was used, then it will remain cold.
3. Reverse side of the product
Consider the inside of the product. If the shoes are made from natural materials, then you will feel a fleecy or rough surface. This is one of the main indicators of quality shoes.
4. Smell
Connect your sense of smell. If you smell a strong, chemical smell, then most likely poor-quality materials were used. They are not safe for your health, so it is better to refrain from buying.
5. Outsole
Few people pay attention to the sole, but in vain. It is a good indicator of the quality of the product. Attach the soles to each other, they should be the same in length. Check the sole for strength – bend it. If there are no cracks and creases left, then the shoes are of high quality and will last a long time.
6. Warranty
Before buying a product you like, be sure to check with the seller about the guarantee. You must be sure that if the shoes do not live up to your expectations when worn, you can easily return or exchange them.
7. Packaging
Be sure to check the data on the packaging and the shoe label. The date of manufacture is usually printed on the flap or lining, and the trademark is on the sole or insole. If everything is in order with these parameters, then this once again confirms that you are purchasing really high-quality shoes that will last you more than one year.

Answers questions Julia Muravieva, stylist:
What shoes are in trend this season?
2. Cape – square, elongated, sharp, neat oval.
3. Platform – the brightest shoe trend of the season. With and without heels, solid and with heels. Never before have our legs been so long. Square toe satin pumps in shocking pink are a must-have this season.
4. Ties and lacing. An ideal way to emphasize the beauty of the ankle is sandals like gladiators or wedges with cord lacing.
5. Sneakers with a wide welt. Massive, but at the same time made in light shades.
6. Clogs with a square cape.
7. Bright boats.
8. Shoes Mary Jane — another must-have.
9. Sandals fisherman – according to the type of men, black, white or caramel.
10 Unusual heel – curved, artsy.
11 Inflated parts – look fresh and unusual.
12 Chains and their imitation. The most relevant ones are in the tone of the shoes themselves. For example, it can be lemon mules with plastic trim in the form of chains.
13. Men’s boots no heel.
14 Questionnaires on the ankle.
15. Footwear body color.
16. Eternal classic – loafers – this season they “flyed up” to platform in contrasting color. For example, it can be black loafers with caramel-beige semolina soles.
How to choose the right shoes for the image?
2. Style. Yes, we actively mix the opposite – we wear flying dresses with rough boots, we reduce the degree of solemnity from trouser suits with sneakers and sneakers, we wear cargo trousers with inlaid sandals with breathtaking stiletto heels, and we combine men’s jackets with classic pumps, but in bright colors.
There are classic style rules, for example, a silhouette with no waist, flared, we wear with more confident shoes – it can be a square toe, a massive heel or a platform. A fitted silhouette requires more elegant shoes – a pointed toe, a kitten hills heel, a stiletto heel, thin straps will be more appropriate here.
It is also important to take into account the texture of the material – matte leather is ideal for classic suits, suede and nubuck for tweed, sheepskin fur. At the same time, we can exaggerate sharp silhouette forms with the help of metallic leather.
Rustic surfaces are well suited for summer linen and cotton dresses and suits.
3. Color. If there are already several shades of color in the shoes, one of them should be kept in clothes. For example, white sneakers with orange laces are perfect with orange clothes, but a mix with contrasting purple will be no less impressive. Use the color wheel to create harmonious combinations. And remember, the smaller the patch of color, the more attention it draws to itself – this is the secret of the Louboutin red sole. That is, bright shoes will certainly draw attention to your feet!
It is important to take into account external data – facial features, type of figure. If you have rounded features, overly charcoal shoes will not look organic. We take into account the rule of proportionality – the fuller the legs – the more massive the heel should be.
The most versatile shoes are white sneakers, beige brogues, colored pumps (and not beige at all), black rough boots (like army ones), jockey boots and the absolute hit of next winter – over the knee boots.
You can start collecting an image with shoes, especially this method is suitable for owners of a diverse wardrobe. For example, we can combine Mary Jane shoes with a wide heel 2,5 cm in black with nylon socks with a fly, with a parachute dress with a Peter Pan collar (with a ruffle along the edge) and a midi trench coat. The childishness of the model will enhance the peas, collar and cut of the dress.
Or another example. High white tube boots without a heel are similar to the models of the 20th century space designer Pierre Cardin. Therefore, we can complement these boots with a suit with a cropped jacket and a mini skirt (keeping the aesthetics of the 60s). Let’s add makeup with spectacular arrows.
Accent shoes can be the perfect ending to a laconic set, the highlight of the image. Remember how it was at Carrie’s wedding in Sex and the City. The heroine’s modest milky costume was complemented by cornflower blue “manoli”. Exquisite yet very effective!
When is the best time to buy shoes in Our Country?
So when is the best time to shop? First of all, it all depends on the season. If you need boots or ankle boots, then go for them in December – the sale of winter collections is just beginning.
Do you want to buy trendy sandals? Then June is the perfect time. Summer sales continue until the end of August. And winter – until the beginning of March. But keep in mind that the most popular sizes are snapped up quickly, and at the end of sales it becomes difficult to snatch something suitable for yourself.
What shoe brands are valued abroad?
For example, Pazolini. The brand with Italian roots is very successful and every year is becoming stronger in the fashion market. The quality and style of the brand has long been recognized by foreign connoisseurs of good shoes. The brand has its own stores in Europe and the US, which are in great demand.
