Prom Shoes
Tips
Make sure you wear your prom shoes in
before the night (wear them around the
house for an hour or so each day for a
week).
Strappy sandals are quite popular, and
can be worn with most dresses.
For the ultimate comfort, ballet shoes
will ensure than you don't end up with
sore feet by the end of the night! Only
suitable with full skirts (they just don't
look right with tight fitted dresses).
To get the perfect match between your
dress and prom shoes, consider getting
your shoes dyed. Most shoe repair stores
can dye shoes, with prices ranging from $5
to $20. Call around to find the best
price.
If you are planning to dye your prom
shoes, remember that dyed items look
different indoors compared to outdoors.
For example, shoes dyed grey may take on a
purple tone outside. There is nothing that
can be done to stop this, so be sure to
tell your dyer if the event is indoor or
outdoor.
Dye used to dye your prom shoes is
water soluble, so water and heavy moisture
can cause the dye to bleed or stain. To
prevent this, use a water repellent spray
on your shoes (sold at most show repair
stores). Water repellent spray is fast
drying, and won't affect the color. It
won't make your shoes totally waterproof,
but it is the best protection. Please be
aware that once you have sprayed your prom
shoes with water repellent, you won't be
able to dye them again (so make sure the
color is
right!)
