The Shoes for the Quinceañera

December 7, 2011 | [ 0 ]

The Quinceañera’s footwear should coincide with the color and the quality of the dress and the type of season of the year, closed toe-shoe for winter and opened toe-shoe for summer.

Variety of Shoes
Options nowadays are greater:
Traditional satin shoes that match the color of the dress.
Metallic shoes, generally golden or silver
• Decorated sandals with sequences
• Shoes and sandals decorated with lace

The use of high heels depends on the Quinceañera’s height. Tall young ladies can wear flats and petite young ladies can wear high heels, allowing both to walk with elegance and comfort. It is true that high heels are more elegant, but you should know how to walk with them. It does not matter how high the heel is, if you do not feel comfortable, you are not going to be able to walk properly. Make sure to walk with the new shoes before buying them so you can decide whether you will be able to wear them all night or not. You can practice with your high heels at home for at least half an hour daily to break in the shoes so that they will not feel like a new pair on the day of the celebration. Breaking the shoes in will also relieve you from getting blisters on your special day. Consider taking an extra pair of shoes for the reception if you are not accustomed to wearing high heels.

The extra pair of shoes should be comfortable and should also be the same color as the dress, in order to keep the harmony and elegance at the dance and reception. Avoid going barefoot at any time because you cannot handle the heels or because you forgot to bring the extra shoes. The shoes never should be black or brown. If the color of the dress is very special and you do not find the exact color, purchase more fabric and send your shoes to be customized. Remember that you must purchase more than one pair of shoes because there is a pair (flats) that you will wear at the beginning of the ceremony which will be exchanged for another pair (typically high heels) later in the ceremony. This is a part of the ceremony and represents the change from young lady to woman.
