Women do have a fascination with shoes. And with the fashion industry on a high-roll, designer shoes are a must for most women who have a shoe fetish. Whether your shoe collection is similar to that of Imelda Marcos (who owns hundreds and hundreds of expensive shoes), or just a small shoe rack, here are a few important tips before you shell out some cash or before you swipe your credit card.

– First, you have to know your personal style. Designer shoes made by their respective designers carry with them their personal touch. Some may be ultra high-class or some may be eccentric. Others are more of the classic style, while others are youthful and full of energy. By knowing your personal style you can then choose the designer shoes that also reflects your personality.

– Know your designers. When you get to classify your style as, for example, the classic elegant style, know which designer among the high-class designers also has that style. You can now focus on his or her shoe collection.

– Know your shoe size. Shoe sizes vary in terms of how they are plotted. European, American, Canadian and Asian have different measuring standards and terms. Some may refer to you as Size 7, Size 37, or Size 75, and for all you know; they are the same shoe size. Be familiar with both European and American shoe sizes.

– Go to the designer’s website. When buying designer shoes, try visiting their online catalogue or their website first, so you do not buy on impulse when you visit their store. Check their latest shoe collection and find one that you will truly fall in love with. Description of the shoes are placed there – the materials and colors and sizes available. Sometimes, sale announcements are posted online as well. It can save you a lot of money when you choose to purchase during their collections sale.

– Go to online shopping sites. The wonders of Ebay and other shopping sites will truly be helpful for designer shoe shoppers. Some collectors and those who are just clearing out their closets offer their original designer shoes up for grabs online. Sometimes you see something that is not in the current collection of your favorite designer, i.e., a discontinued item. By browsing through other people’s sale items, you get an opportunity to get the same style and for a significantly lesser price.

– Be aware of your wardrobe. Pick shoes that match with your current clothes and fit with the style of the clothes you currently wear. Try to avoid just picking shoes that are popular with everyone else.

Most of all enjoy shopping and feel your best and look your best as you strut your new shoes in high fashion. You will definitely feel as if the world is on your feet when you get to wear your dream pair of shoes. Just like in the Shopaholic series, you will feel that it is a better and happier world with your brand new designer shoes. Just don’t forget your credit bills.
