Why would a man shop for women's shoes? Well, if the woman in question loves shoes, it will show that you understand her and that you're interested in making her happy. It's absolutely necessary. But personally, I believe most men are not good at shopping. So the following tips will have you well on your way to finding the perfect shoes for the women in your life -- you may even have fun doing it. First, determine whether or not shoes are a good gift idea for the woman in question. If you are quite sure she will like the gift you give to her, don't hesitate, read on..... Profiling a Woman's Shoe "Type"
When it comes to women's shoes, there are hundreds of styles, heel heights, colors, materials, and so on. So before doing anything else, you'll need to determine which type of shoes she'll like. This is a relatively simple step, since all you have to do is think about the woman you're buying for. Is she athletic? Professional? The outdoors type? Or is she an artistic, one-of-a-kind kind of girl? Form a mental image of the woman she is, and narrow your focus to women's shoes that will suit her. The Proper Heel
Now that you know the types of shoes she might like, you need to pick a heel height. While some flat wearers secretly covet a pair of four inch heels, it's best to play it safe. Stick with flats or heels under 2 inches. Walking in high heels takes a lot of practice, and she should make that jump only if she chooses to -- not because you like the way they look. If you know she loves high heels, go for it, but stick within the general range of what she normally buys for herself. Get Her Shoe Size
Some women are a very consistent shoe size. If you look through shoes she owns, they might all have just an "8" or a "9" on them -- it will be simpler to shoe shop for these women. But, most of us wear different sizes due to manufacturer and style differences. If there an equal number of only two sizes, go with the larger size. If there is a three-size range, try the one in the middle. And, no matter what, make sure the store you buy from has a reasonable return policy. Verify Her Shoe Width
Letters near the size will indicate a special width. You might see an "A" or several "E"s, or even and "N," "M," or "W." These all represent different widths. To make matters more confusing, different letters can be used to specify the same width. If in doubt as to what the letters mean, make a note of them and ask someone at the shoe store for assistance. Again, be sure to check the store's return policy, just in case they don't work out. At last, it's time to go solo and hit the shoe stores, or the online retailers. Most importantly, relax and try to have fun. Plan "B"
If this all seems too overwhelming, there is an easier way: gift cards. Once you've determined that the woman you love actually does love shoes, you could get her a gift card or certificate for her favorite shoe store. This is a little less personal, but if the card is sizable enough, she'll probably forgive you. However, take note, this trick may only work once -- so, be sure to do your homework before the next gift-giving occasion.
