How to choose
It is worth giving preference to shoes made from natural materials: leather, suede, as well as various fabrics, such as cotton, satin, velvet. Such products are more durable and comfortable to wear. Moreover, natural materials look not only stylish, but also respectable. If you choose flat sandals, look closely at how they sit on your foot.

When choosing sandals, pay attention to the seams. They should be neat, even and not cause you discomfort. All decorative elements must be well sewn or glued. The sole should be light and durable. In the heat of heavy shoes, the legs will quickly get tired.It is also worth remembering that high heels during a long walk will give you discomfort. Therefore, if you want sandals with heels, give preference to an average height of 5-7 centimeters. Choose the color of shoes based on the wardrobe with which you will wear sandals.
When choosing sandals, you also need to take into account the shape of the legs. For example, if you have ugly fingers, give preference to models with a closed toe. Wide ankles help hide straps and ribbons. Problematic heels are better not to flaunt, but to choose sandals with a closed heel.
