Shoe Advice

I've been re-reading some pages I tore out of fashion magazines.  Vince Camuto, who founded Nine West and has shoes and clothing at Nordstrom, among other places, has some very sound shoe advice. InStyle magazine calls him the Shoe Savant.

When asked about fit, Camuto says: "The most important thing to do is make sure your heel sits firmly against the back of the shoe and that the front part of your foot, from the ball to the toes, is lying flat."

Before buying a shoe, Camuto recommends you "Push down on the insole with your index finger. If the material takes the imprint of your finger and lifts back up as you remove pressure, it's made with memory foam--a good comfort indicator."

The three shoes he says should be in one's closet for summer and early fall are:
           Booties "Wear them as you would pumps."
           Pumps
           An embellished sandal
