However, the huge volume of shoes can leave many women feeling over whelmed. How do women choose amongst the hundreds and thousands of different styles of footwear available? It is like putting a child in a sweetshop and telling them they are only allowed one sweet, they run around, looking for the perfect sweet, but there are so many, each with their own merits and drawbacks - it is impossible to leave the sweetshop without somehow feeling as if they made the wrong choice. Of course, for adults, the issues is slightly different, they can buy more than one sweet/pair of shoes at a time - and often do, hence the reason why a woman's wardrobe is frequently overflowing with shoes.

There are some techniques that women can employ to make life easier for them when shopping for shoes. For instance, by making a promise to only buy shoes that are fashionable as well as comfortable, this eliminates many shoes as potential purchases. If a woman is not used to heels over an inch high, then any higher will be uncomfortable, this means that they do not have to browse through shoes with excessively high heels. A great shoe for women who are not overly comfortable wearing a high heel, are clog boots, these can have fairly high heels, but the surface area of the heel is such that they are easy to walk in - this season, to opt for such a shoe would fit the dual-rule of only buying shoes that are comfortable and fashionable.

Another clause that women can add to their shoe shopping is budget. Setting a minimum and maximum amount that they can spend on any one pair of shoes, means that many shoes can be eliminated from the potential buy. For example, if a person says they can only buy shoes such as Work Suede Solid Color and Bows Design Women's Spring Pumps costing between ￡40 and ￡50, this makes their search for shoes a lot simpler.

In order to narrow the list of potential shoes further, women should consider safety and comfort. Make sure that shoes protect the feet, while looking fashionable. It is not a great look, to find that after spending 20 years wearing stiletto heels, that sandals are now out of the question because of the bunions that now bulge from the toe knuckles! Protecting the feet is an essential task for shoes.

When it comes to shoe shopping, therefore, in order that a person does not feel overwhelmed by all the possible choices, it is important that they place limits on the shoes they are able to consider.
