As far as the sizes go it starts from size 4 and goes up to size 16

Another factor which is very important as far as the shoes go is the width of the women’s shoes and the various widths of the women shoes are extra narrow, narrow regular, wide and extra wide. This width you can easily get to know if you have once tried out a shoe at a shoe shop. Beware that each brand and each style has its won peculiarities so if you have one brand of shoes for which the extra narrow one fits you nicely then for another brand the narrow one may fit nicely.

Heel height is another major factor in buying decision. It is really a comfort factor and also a style factors. Most females will feel very stylish and sexy wearing the high heel whereas the females who are a little bit heavy should avoid wearing the high heel shoes. Generally these are the three styles of heel height are Low, medium and high.

Low – (5/8” – 1-3/8”)

Medium – (1-1/2” – 2-5/8”)

High – (2-5/8” and above)

Shoes color for women is very vast range and that alone tells you that the colors that women love to wear is endless. Here is the complete list of colors beginning with

Black

Brown

Burgundy

Blue

Clear

Gold

Metallic

Off white

Women can haggle fro a good bargain better than a man that is for sure. The shoes made for women start from the price range of $35 or under and go up to $1000. This is not the end the price bands for shoes below $100, below $200 and below $500 also exit. Then above the $1000 range come the shoes which are the designer shoes with business tycoon, ultra rich, models and actresses buying these. One name which is oh so famous is the Jimmy Choo shoes.

That is why always look for the discount women’s shoes and believe me they are available with various online and offline shops having the discount running shoes or the discount dress shoes. The reason is simple the shoes are going high end and are very costly especially the running variety.

Another tip is that always check for the reviews online for various shoes and that will help you get the information about various complaints that are there for the women’s and ladies shoes.

Great information on brands and types of shoes. I am now thinking that my 40 pair of shoes in my closet might be a smaller supply than the average woman.
