Holiday Shoe Tips

I love my December Glamour Magazine. It has a lot of holiday beauty tips and 3 pages of gift ideas that give back- they each support a charity.

Also, I am really pleased about the Editorial "31 Days of Giving". It has 31 ideas of how you can help those less fortunate. Love the spirit of giving!

With all this holiday in mind, I perused Glamour and the Mall and came up with these holiday tips-

1. Don't pair a sexy shoe with super-short or super-tight at a work party.

2. If you have a pair of shoes that you love but hurt your feet every time you wear them then go to http://www.abcop.org to find a podiatrist in your area who can help by reconstructing the shoe!

3. Make your heels really comfy by wearing insoles/cushions. Top picks by Glamour's testers are: Dr. Scholl's For Her Ball-Of-Foot Cushions, Footminders Catwalk High-Heel Insoles or Airplus Ultra Arches.

4. Trace your foot onto a piece of paper and place the shoe on the outline. If a shoe is more than a quarter inch narrower than the widest part of your foot, its too small.

5. For those who love luxe shoes but can't afford the luxe price tag, Jimmy Choo for H&M (my fav!) may be for you. Shoes are priced at about $129.

6. Ankle booties look lovely with party dresses.

7. Give the gift of fashion this year. With all Studio 32 shoes and boots under $32 you won't even break the budget looking great!

8. I went 'secret shopping' this weekend at the local mall and visited "Forever Young Shoes" and I was surprised at their prices. Not only are mine priced at least $1 under theirs, many of my styles were $4-6 less. This is for the same first quality shoes in some of the exact brands!

9. Do you live in Utah? I will see what I can do about personally delivering your order to save on time and shipping! How's that for service??

10. Don't forget that shoes make an outfit. As Glamour would say: DO wear {heels} to a party or evening out. DO dare to wear some animal prints like {these}. DO cozy up in some comfy {boots} like these for only $24.95! Sizes 5 1/2 - 10.

PS. Has anyone seen those new EasyTone shoes by Reebok? Apparently they are supposed to tone your body just by wearing them shoes when you walk. Sign me up!
