Tips to Help Select the Perfect Shoes
Frequently Asked Questions (and Answers)  

• How is heel height measured?
  As illustrated below, standard shoe industry measurements are taken from the inside of the heel.  Add approximately 1/2 inch to that measurement to find the heel height as taken from the back of the shoe.

  How do your shoe sizes run?
  Our shoes run true to size; however, if you fall between two sizes, your best bet is to order the larger size.  Everyone has one foot larger than the other - some slightly, and some with as much as a half size difference.  You should purchase footwear to fit your larger foot - a half insole can be added to the shoe for your smaller foot to make it snugger if necessary.
   

• How can I choose comfortable shoes?
  At Evening Shoes.com, we fit test our shoes to offer only the most comfortable footwear.  However, not every shoe is right for every foot.  As a general rule, it's best to stay with the heel height that you usually wear in a dress shoe - it can be just as tiring wearing a very low heel as wearing a very high heel, if you are not accustomed to it. 
      
• Do I have to wear stockings with my sandals?
  Gone are the days when the bride or party guest had to wear hosiery to complete a formal wedding outfit.  All you really need is a great pair of sandals and a perfect pedicure for even the dressiest event.
   
• How can I keep from slipping in my new shoes?
  Take a tip from the "old shoe dogs" - just scuff up your shiny new soles with a nail file or emery board to get extra traction!
    
• Do I need to "break in" my new shoes?
  Happily, fabric shoes are much softer than leather and will give to the foot more easily.  To ensure the most comfort, wear your new shoes for a few minutes each day a week or so before The Big Day.   
    
• Help! I got my shoes dirty at my fitting!
  An actual stain, such as lipstick or ink, will need to be removed by a local shoemaker who will use professional dry cleaning solution.  You can take care of a scuff or streak yourself, by rubbing gently with a clean artist's eraser (not a pink one!)
