Ballerina shoes are also another favourite type of shoes for girls because of its simplicity. They are flat and they usually come in colourful choices. Ballet pumps will easily match your jeans or skirts so you can easily dress up or down without compromising your comfort. Because of thin sole, we need to buy extra insoles if it doesn’t give enough support for walking.

Flip flop is a type of shoes that known for summer. In tropical countries such as Malaysia, flip flops are widely used because we have summer all year round. It’s not recommended to wear this for too long because it doesn’t provide much support for the feet and your heel would be in so much pain. So if you like flip flops, try finding the soles that are thick so that you can walk comfortably. 

Mule is another type of shoes that is gaining popularity recently because of its open back, so you wear it like a slip-on shoe. Taking it on and off is far easier than lace-ups shoes. For ladies who like flip flops, you can wear mule for a long walk as it provides more support with comfortable insoles. This way, you will look stylish and your feet will remain not to be in pain.

Lastly, you can also opt for loafers for your daily casual wear. It is a slip-on shoe with elastic panels at the side which negates the need for laces during fastening. Although it is considered as casual shoes, it has the formal look that allows you to wear for work.

Basically, some casual shoes such as wedges, ballerinas, and mules can also be worn for some formal or smart casual events but flip flops can only be worn for casual wear. Besides that, it is recommended to only wear flip flops for a short period as it does not provide much support for the feet.

Dress shoes for plus size women

Unlike casual shoes, dress shoes are typically worn for smart casual or formal events. There are two categories which are court shoes and heels. Choosing the right heels is crucial because it determines your fitting, style, comfort and determines the duration before it starts giving you pain. Higher heels are sexier but your feet will become sore in a short time especially for plus size women, like us. To improve this, platform at the front and additional insole can be added. So, keep in mind to buy shoes with a platform.

Court shoe option is for a more formal event such as wedding receptions or business event. Court shoe or pump is defined as a shoe with a low-cut front with no fastening. Typically, for professional use, the court shoes are designed with a thicker heel and made with leather. Court shoes for weddings can be more glamorous with bolder accessories or colours. We, plus girls can definitely love court shoes with thicker heels especially for workwear. We need comfort at work, ladies.

Heels is the type of dress shoes for evening wear. Block heels and tapered heels are typically more stable as it distributes the weight evenly. This is the reason why the ladies find it difficult to walk wearing stiletto and kitten heels. The kitten heels have its classic look while stiletto is more of elegance and beauty. Stiletto beyond 4” heel height usually comes with the platform at the front in order to avoid the foot arch to bend too much and this will slightly enhance comfort. Moreover, the platform will make it easier to walk. 3” heel height is the most classic choice which 4” heel height is usually worn for evening or special events. Any heels worn beyond 4” heel height is advisable to practise wearing it indoors before you wear them out.

Please take note that the only benefit of wearing heels is for aesthetics. It will boost height, make your legs look slimmer and longer. Because of this, we feel more confident. When we look taller, we seem less ‘curvy’  so, we need help from the heels. It’s always great when you feel more confident wearing heels but shift to flat once in a while if it causes discomforts to your feet. In conclusion, for dress shoes, you can opt either court shoes or heels depending on the events that you need to go. Some of our shoes can be found on youtube.
