Interview Shoes – The RIGHT Styles For Men and Women

For Men

For men there are four types of shoes that are acceptable for interviews. There are from most to least formal: the black oxford shoe, the black brogue shoe, the black tassel loafer and finally the black Dress penny loafer. Each of these shoes has a distinct style and message. Regardless of which style of shoe is worn, they should be well maintained-meaningnot scuffed or worn at the heel and highly polished.

The black leather oxford shoe. This is the classic tie shoe. It has either a plain to or a non-perforated cap toe. This is the Dressiest of men's shoes and are popular with investment bankers, government officials and other's who must portray formality and consistency.

The black leather brogue shoe. Often described as the wing tip, this is slightly less formal than the oxford. It may be cap toed or have the wing shaped toe decoration both of which are perforated. Acceptable with suits, the brogue has been a favorite of businessmen for decades although it fell out of favor during the "casual Friday" dress down "era of the 1990s.

The black leather tassel loafer. The tassel loafer has been around fordecades. Once classified as Ivey League or preppy, it is now a business staple. It is a loafer with stitching around the toe and a pAir of leather tassels hip scarf belt. The shoe is not as formal as either the oxford or the Brogues but is acceptable with business suits in all but the most formal and tradition-bound professions.

The black leather penny loafer. This is not a casual loafer with the big "beef roll" and the rough hand stitching around the toe. The penny loafer for dress is more refined in cut and stitching. It looks like and is a dress shoe. The least formal of the business shoe styles, it is sleek and clean and works with suits for all but the most formal occasions.

What kinds of men's shoes to avoid for interviews? First, the heavy soled and big toed lace and slip-onshoes popular with younger men should be avoided. Even if they say they are dress shoes, they say all the wrong things about one. Secondly, avoid casual shoes such as weekend loafers or other very casual shoes with leather, rubber or plastic soles. Finally, avoid trendy shoes. If attracted to a pAir of shoes that would look great on the dance floor at a club or at a wild Party, keep them for those events. Do not wear them to an interview. Trendy is not an interview look unless you are a fashion designer or in the arts.

The right kinds of shoes are available at stores and online. The most popular traditional interview shoes are sold by: Church's Shoes (English design, very traditional), Alden (American and very traditional), Allen-Edmonds, Cole-Haan and Johnson & Murphy.Stores that carry the right kinds of shoes for interviews include: Brooks Brothers, Joseph a. Bank and Nordstrom.

For Women

While there are infinitely more styles of women's shoes available than men's, the styles that are appropriate for interviews are even more limited. The rules about the condition of shoes for women are the same as for men. The shoes must be in top condition and well maintained if not new. While all the colors for men included black and white, there are more possibilities fro women. While black and navy are safe bets 95% of the time. Other colors are OK but must complement the suit or outfit and should match the purse or handbag too. Avoid light colored shoes for interview and never wear white shoes to an interview unless it is for anursing position. If brown, dark shades are best. Avoid suede and never wear shoes that have metallic sparkle, glitter or sequins for an interview (or for business ever).

The styles of shoes that are appropriate for women to wear for interviews fall into four categories: classic leather pump with a heel, the leather sling back style with a heel, the classic leather Mary Jane style shoe with a heel, the flat or ballet style shoe leather. All should be leather. All should be well maintained and worn with neutral colored stockings or pantyhose regardless of the season or temperature (or knee highs if work with slacks).

The leather pump. Heel heights and shapes vary. This is the traditional shoe for women in business. Solid color.

Theleather sling back style with a heel. Again heel heights and shapes very. This shoe while very traditional has an adjustable strap rather than a closed back. The shoe is classic and in good taste but with a bit more style and is considered a bit more dressy than the plain leather pump.

The classic leather Mary Jane shoe. This is not the flat soled Cloth model or even the funky thick soled model worn by teens. It is basically a leather pump in style and cut with a thin strap ending in an adjustable buckle across the instep. Better with skirts than with slacks.

The flat or ballet style shoe leather. This kind of shoe if made of fine leather and in a traditional cut is classic, flattering and is worn by women of all heights. But it is favored by very tall andstrangely enough, very short women. It may be plain or decorated with a decent bit of gold metal or grosgrain ribbon bow at the toe. The casual ballet slipper style fabric, needlepoint or less dressy leather should be saved for wear with jeans or Khakis.

What shoes are not appropriate for women to wear to interviews? Frankly, everything else unless the interview is not for business, non-profits or one of the professions. Anything in unnatural colors or with sparkles or anything novel just will not do. Flip flops are no always. As are sandals. Big, clunky shoes are for teenagers or weekends. Khakis and Loafers are for weekends. Tie shoes are not appropriate for women in business unless running an art gallery or a church order. Finally, strappy, very high heeled shoes shouldbe left for weekends and never for work. Forget what they say in "Sex and the City".

Women's interview shoes are available at many women's stores, shoe stores and department stores. The list is really too long to do justice here. Some of the more traditional sources are: Cole Haan, Talbots, Nordstrom, Lord and Taylor and Brooks Brothers plus the some of the designers who offer quality shoes in more classic styles.

Shoes speak volumes about a person. This is never truer than in an interview. Make sure the shoes that you wear say all the right things. While they will not guarantee a Job, the will not be an obstacle if the points outlined above are observed.

Basques, Corsets, Stockings Or High Heels-What Do Men Find Sexiest on Women?

Corsets, basques and babyDolls as well as stockings are just a handle of examples of the lingerie that is available. For men, all of these and more make women sexier and more seductive and all men have their favorites but they all run along the same sort of theme. See-through, revealing andlacy; men love sexy and flattering lingerie risky on a woman, but on top of this it is a well known fact that what men love more than just lingerie lingerie is teamed with high heeled shoes and I have to agree this really does pull the look together perfectly, but what is it about high heeled shoes that men can't get enough of?

To men, a killer heel contracts the curves of a woman to make them have a more pronounced shape; it also means that a woman has to take smaller strides, which will enhance the swaying motion of the hips. To heel also emphasizes a range of fantasies such as sexy school teacher or naughty secretary. It make a woman more feminine and emphasizes one of the favorite female features to a man;the legs. When you then team high heels with lingerie you are on a definite winner to impress and seduce your man, I know what are the best pieces of lingerie to do this? Let's start with the simple team of bras, g-strings and stockings. To many women this may seem simple, especially if it is something that is worn most days but to men, this doesn't reveal too much but still lets them have a sneak peak; it is teasing and flattering "all at the same time and if you use the colors black, red and black then this makes it even better.

A favorite for men however has to be to corset or basque. I very much doubt that there is a man out there who wouldn't want to see a woman wearing this. Not only does it slim the body and flatten the silhouette butit also boosts the cleavage, all of which tick the right boxes "where men are concerned. And when teamed with a g-string and a pAir of thigh high stockings you are sure to have your man at his knees.

When looking at all the various aspects that are sure to seduce a man, each of them work on their own but think about it, when you team a corset with stocking and a pAir of heels, how much more of an impact are you going to make? Basically instead of questioning what men like more, why not treat your man to a bit of everything. Make yourself completely irresistible and your man won't be able to keep his hands off you!

What To Wear With Knee High Boots?

Cold weather gives us a lot of problems, that we have to work with every day, but luckily there a re some things, that we can always look forward to, that we will be able to wear in winter.

What To Wear With Knee High Boots?

It does not really mater if you are wearing a short or a long skirt; knee high boots are always the thing that you should wear to them. If you decide to go with a short skirt, your legs will still remain warm, and the boots will hide all the small mistakes that you always see on your legs. On the other hand, if you have knee boots with at least a small heel, they change the appearance of your legs, making them looksmoother, skinnier and more muscular. This way you look even better as if you would do in the summer. A long skirt is also a great decision with knee high boots, because the boots will make you look feminine and full of self-esteem.

Of course, if you are not a fan of skirts, it is a great idea, to use the boost with your regular jeans. Tuck them into the boot, and they will again show your feminine side. Be careful when you pick out the jeans that you are going to wear with the knee boots, because they really need to be as your second skin. If they are too loose, then we see something that is called the "balloon" effect, when the jeans get stuffed together just at the end of the boot.

Why Do My Feet Hurt When I Wear High Heels?

This is a very common question that we hear all the time, so it needs to be adDressed. We often hear woMen complaining about their aching feet after a long day of wearing high heels, but they keep on wearing these uncomfortable and painful shoes for the sake of beauty and fashion.

Why Do My Feet Hurt When I Wear High Heels?

The primary reason why wearing high heels can cause sharp foot pain is that human feet were not designed for high heels. Looking at the other perspective, high heels were not designed for comfort and pain-free walking either. People's feet were created to provide us with balance and strength while we walk or run. However, wearing high heels can change the structure and shape of the feet, which not only causes pain alongthe way, but may also inhibit proper functioning of feet over time.

WoMen experience pain when they wear high heels because their feet slide forward into the shoes, inevitably forcing their bodies to redistribute their weight while creating unnatural pressure points and disrupting the natural alignMent of our body.

There are numerous foot ailments related to wearing high heels. Some of the most common ones are metatarsalgia (ball of foot pain), bunions, corns, callous and Achilles Tendonitis, hammertoe deformity, and many others.

Metatarsalgia, the most common effect of wearing high heels for prolonged periods of time, occurs when one or more of the metatarsal heads become inflamed due to too much pressure. This ailment, which isalso known as ball of foot pain, is a painful condition of the metatarsal area of the feet, which can be found below the toes.

People who suffer from this condition usually feel burning and tingling sensation on the ball of the foot. There is also an excessive accumulation of callous in the same region. Wearing high heels for long periods of time can worsen the situation.

Short Skirts, Stockings and High Heels

Short skirts were all the rage in the late 60 's even if you didn't have the legs to wear one. Jean Shrimpton was the yardstick we all measured ourselves against and back then, she was considered a very skinny example. But, oh boy, did she ever cause a stir here in Australia!

Short Skirts, Stockings and High Heels

Stockings had only just changed over to the wearing of pantyhose and high heels were what woMen wore to show off their legs more advanTAGeously. Now getting the right size stocking pantyhose back then was not an exact science like it is today because the manufacturers were still coming to grips with how many sizes were actually needed to cover the majority of the woMen in the world.

They learnt very quickly that three sizes, that is small, medium and large, among women simplydidn't exist. I think they solved a few of these problems when they came up with instead of nylon because spandex spandex like its name implies, expands.

I know with wearing a short skirt and a pAir of not-well-fitting stockings balanced precariously on a pAir of overly high heels was a recipe for disaster "looking for a place to happen" for many of us.

I found my ' place to happen ' on a Sydney Harbour Ferry between Neutral Bay and Circular Quay. It was morning rush hour and everyone wanted to get off the ferry and up to the train station quickly.

It was also a wet morning and the deck stAirs were slippery. I went Down on my knees and landed amid a shoving crowd. It hurt but I wouldn't show the handsome young Policeman just how much because I was soembarrassed. Besides, I may have lost one of my false eyelashes if I had cried.

I had split my stockings right across both knees and the nylon hung like dead skin down my legs. I had lost the heel off one of those "stupidly high heels, split the crutch of my stockings and tried desperately to get away from that pushing Ferry crowd with some dignity intact.

One shoe was 5 inches higher than the other and I was hobbled by stockings that were trying to escape my legs and a short skirt rucked up around my backside trying to help them off.

Five Risks of Wearing High Heels Revealed

Over the years, high heeled shoes continue to be a popular fashion trend. So popular, it is causing some woMen to surgically alter their feet in order to fit into them. Even without this, there are health risks associated with wearing high heels.

Five Risks of Wearing High Heels Revealed

Five Risks of Wearing High Heels Revealed

1. A high heeled shoe forces the posture into an unnatural position that significantly stresses the joints. The spine, which in flat shoes is reasonably straight, forms more of an 'S' shape with the chest and lower back pushing forward and the hips pushed back. The height of the heel also changes the amount of weight on the forefoot. A 1-inch heel will increase the pressure by 22%; a 2-inch heel by 57%; and a 3-inch heel by 76%. This increased pressure puts the forefoot at risk for injuries such as stress fractures, bunions, and hammertoes.

2. Knee pain is common when high heels are involved. The heel height causes increased strain on the knee joint and associated tendons. The quadriceps muscle group in the front of the thigh works harder, increasing pressure on the kneecap by up to 26%. This can ultimately increase the incidence of osteoarthritis of the knee and quadriceps tendinitis.

3. When the heel is constantly elevated, the calf muscle and Achilles tendon can contract and shorten. Wearing high heels habitually can result in a woman no longer able to tolerate a flat shoe. On occasion, this can even require surgery to lengthen the Achilles tendon. Most often, however, this will increase the chances of Achilles tendinitis or shin splints.

4. The changes in posture and overall imbalance will lead to instability when walking and a resulting risk of ankle sprains. High heels, especially stilettos, will lead to instability and a major increase in ankle sprains result. An ankle sprain is caused from the twisting of the ankle and results in a tear of the ligaMents that connect the foot and leg bones and stabilize the ankle. When the heel is balancing on a narrow stiletto heel, if the heel shifts outward slightly a sudden twist may occur to sprain these ligaments. Swelling, bruising and pain will result. At worst, it is possible for the ankle to fracture, a ligament can pull a piece of bone off, or even a bone in the foot can break due to the pull of a tendon.

5. High heels are enjoyed by most women because they are "cute." They are narrow and are contoured to make the foot look slender. The tight fit of many heels will force the toes to conform to its shape. The added pressure on the toes can exacerbate bunions and hammertoes. The pressure of the shoe itself can cause corns to form. Furthermore. The compression of the metatarsal bones can cause pressure on the nerves that run between them. A Morton's neuroma, which is a growth and inflammation of the nerve, can form due to the pressure. Remember, a shoe is meant to fit the foot, not squeeze it relentlessly.

While the overall percenTAGe of women wearing high heels daily has decreased, the percenTAGe reporting physical problems from wearing them has increased. This is likely due to the newer styles that have been introduced. Some have no choice but to wear the shoes for work, however comfort is a priority. Pain should not be a price for style. Be sure to always wear a shoe that is right for your foot. Of course, if the pain continues, be sure and visit your podiatrist.
