Stylish Casual Shoes Are Comfortable And Look Great

By Bernice Terry


Dress shoes are not the only footwear that can look smart and fashionable, there are also stylish casual shoes that also offer considerable comfort and are perfect for everyday wear. Comfortable footwear does not have to be boring, there is a wide selection of nice styles for both men and women. They generally provide more support for the arches and the toe bar, and can be worn for longer periods of time without discomfort.

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.

Moccasins provide ultimate comfort and make the wearer almost feel barefoot. The original designs were hand-crafted by Native peoples from deerskin and often decorated with beautiful bead work. This basic style has recently been replicated by many shoe manufacturers to create a shoe that fits much like a sock or slipper.

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.

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.

Properly fitting footwear is a priority for any type of shoe. It's advisable to ask a salesperson to precisely measure the length, width, and shape of their feet so they will only choose footwear suitable for them. If shoes don't fit well they can cause a number of painful issues of the legs and feet.

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.
