Footwear Reveals Your Personality Than You Think

There’s a type of shoe to suit everyone.

Flats

What they say about you: Comfort-seeking, practical and flexible

When and how to wear them:
With turned-up jeans, cords and trousers.
Think classic Chanel pump. Ideal for rushing to last-minute business meetings, and for weekend getaways or family get-togethers.
Have a pair of sandals in gold, silver and a pastel shade.
If you have a high instep, avoid flats. Get arch support insteps to help you when pounding the pavements on shopping sprees.

How to take care of them:

If shoes are dirty, clean them first with saddle soap or a leather cleaner. Use a shoe conditioner (available at most shoe shops) on frequently worn leather shoes to replace oils and help the leather retain its suppleness. Wait for the conditioner to dry before you polish.
Kitten heels

What they say about you: Conservative, feminine and unimposing
When and how to wear them:
With cropped trousers and office suits.
Never with super-short skirts.
For casual occasions.
When going dancing or if you need to be on your feet for many hours.

How to take care of them:

When it comes to polish, wax is most effective at covering scuffs, but cream or paste polish is better at keeping leather moist and flexible. Avoid liquid polish because it can dry and crack the leather.

High heels

What they say about you: Extremely feminine, fashionable and ambitious

When and how to wear them:
With party dresses; they match almost all hemlines.
For power meetings, paired with knee-length skirts.
If you have heavy legs, go for tall wedges or sandals with heels; they help balance the weight of the legs.
Shop for heels at the end of the day when the foot is slightly swollen. This will ensure you choose the best fit.
If you have short legs, avoid ankle straps as they break the leg line.

How to take care of them:

High heels wear down faster than flats. If the thickness of the sole has worn down by half, it’s time to resole or replace. The heel also wears down quickly, so as soon as you start to see the nail poke through, get the shoes reheeled.

Patterns

What they say about you: Fashion fanatic

When and how to wear them:
With patterned clothes, for the truly daring.
With muted, block coloured or natural-toned dresses to let the shoes do the talking.
With denims, for a vintage look.
With girly patterned dresses or flowery prints.
There is such a thing as too much animal print, so keep it subtle.

How to take care of them:

With patterned shoes (snakeskin, fabric or other material), it is absolutely important not to go near anything that could cause damage, like water, heat and grime as the pattern can be affected. Also, as a general rule with fancy shoes, remember, kicking them is off is never a good idea. Always ease them off your feet gently.

Bright colours

What they say about you: Adventurous, fast-paced and experimental
When and how to wear them:
With your little black dress.
Choose colours in different materials: velvet, canvas, faux fur and the like.
Pick purples, yellows and oranges. These colours make your feet look ‘happy’.
With crisp white pure summer chic.
To match your accessories or contrast with monochrome dresses.

How to take care of them:

Box them up. Store shoes you don’t wear often in their original box or another container to keep them from getting crushed and collecting dust.

Travel with care. Put shoes in a flannel shoe bag and use shoe trees to keep them from getting crushed and scuffed in your suitcase.
