Your Prom shoes should be fashionable and chic, but they shouldn't take the attention away from your dress. Prom shoes should be like the cherry on top of a sundae: It's a part you always look forward to, but your main focus is always the ice cream. How can you make sure you've got the right shoes for 2009 Prom? Follow these guidelines, and you'll find the Perfect Prom shoes.
Decide on a dress before you start looking for shoes. It's easier to pair shoes with a dress instead of the other way around.
Either wear your prom dress while trying on shoes, or be sure to try them on with your dress as soon as you get home. Sometimes it's hard to tell by memory how they'll look with your dress. If you wait until you get home, don't forget to save the receipt!
If your dress is really busy, buy sleek and simple shoes. If your dress is simple and sophisticated, you can get shoes that have a little more going on.
A higher heel will make your legs appear longer and trimmer, but be careful not to go overboard; especially if your Prom 2009 dress is short!
If high heels just aren't your thing, try a pair of ballet slippers or similar flats. They can look just as nice, and you won't have to worry about your heels hurting while you're on the dance floor!
Try to find shoes in a color that compliments your dress. If you're having trouble, consider dyeable shoes. This is an easy way to get the shoe you want in the exact color you need.
If you need an extra long or wide Prom shoe, be sure to allow yourself a little extra time to find it. It might be a little difficult. Ask if they carry any at the plus-size Prom dress stores you visit or check on the Web sites.
Be sure to walk in your shoes around the house before you wear them to Prom. Start wearing them at home at least a week before Prom night 2009, and make sure you wear them enough that they will fit comfortably for Prom!
