I was power-suiting in the time that chunky heels were in, which was a big help.<br /><br />Marcella, it was quite an education. In a nutshell, pointy toes are bad. Box toes or rounded toes are good. The shoe should fit a bit tighter than sneakers, so that your foot isn't sliding around inside and causing blisters when you walk. Soft material with no hard seams on the inside - vinyl is actually really comfy. Heel position should be directly under your natural heel. One of the key things was having a shoe that wraps around the foot in some way...whether it's closed like a boot or caged and strapped like a sandal. Something to keep the shoe on the foot. Modest platforms are actually pretty good, because they can increase heel height while offsetting it through stacking the front of the shoe. <br /><br />Ballroom dance shoes follow the same guidelines, interestingly enough. I have gone to a local ballroom dance supplier for shoes on a couple of occasions. They were great.Laura Bicklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498043274943334697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-83063419855925561142011-04-18T12:55:29.250-04:002011-04-18T12:55:29.250-04:00"Oh, hon," the lady behind the counter s...<i> "Oh, hon," the lady behind the counter said. "That's a BEDROOM shoe. You need a DANCE shoe. </i><br /><br />LOL. I love it. It's too bad the uber-trendy designers are confusing the two right now. <br /><br />Yes, I do recall the days of power-suit and sneakers; though, I was spared the worst of it due to the advent of Easy Spirit pumps.K.A.
