Shoe shopping & caring tips 1 For the best fit and selection, go to specialty dress shoe stores. For the best deals, visit department stores, wholesalers, and outlet malls. Don't shy away from buying shoes on clearance, either. The only thing these shoes are usually guilty of is being a season or two “out of style." But honestly, when you get out on the street, nobody can tell the difference between a 2005 Kenneth Cole oxford and a 2007 Kenneth Cole oxford. If you are going to buy shoes online, a good trick is to try on the same pair in a store to ensure a comfortable fit, and then go online for the best deal. But if you have previous experience with a particular brand, then ther's no need to worry about purchasing shoes online without trying the on first. IN any case, most rep- utable online retailers offer full refunds. Visit shoe stores on Sunday mornings, or late on weeknights. Chances are you will be the only customer in the store, and the sales-person will be able to concen- trate on you. The result? Knowledgeable, one-on-one service. If you want to extend the life of your shoes, a professional shoe shine is worth much more than what you pay for it. If you're after a winner's style and you've invested good money in your shoes, it's really unbecoming to be shy about a professional shine. If you're nervous about getting a professional shine for the first time, take it from me, the men shining shoes in hotels, airports, train stations or street corners are some of the friendliest people I've ever met. From the minute you sit down in the chair they will take care of everything with gentle, knowing taps or touches. Just be friendly and enjoy the experience. PS. if you wish to do it yourself, here is a god one - http://tiny.cc/t3itrw Conclusion The next time you put on your pair of dress shoes to go out, take a good look at what you're wearing. Are they a quality pair of shoes? Is it fit for the occa- sion? Is it scuffed up? Does it need repairing or shining? Is it out of style? (Boxy, square shoes look good on nobody) Your shoes will make or break any look. Next time, give the attention to your shoes first, before anything else.
