Comfort tips for all shoe styles

(ARA) - Spring is here and summer is around the corner, which means it's time to refresh your wardrobe. Shoe trends for the warmer seasons include bright colors, nudes, fringes and ruffles. And with heels and wedges getting even higher, some women may wonder what the future holds for their feet.

Many women struggle with finding a balance between fashion and comfort. That's why Stacy London, style expert and host of TLC's "What Not To Wear," is helping Dr. Scholl's(R) For Her show women across America that they can have both.

"It's no secret that women love their shoes, but we also know they can be a pain in the foot," says London. "That's why I use Dr. Scholl's(R) For Her Insoles to cushion my feet because I'm a firm believer that you should never have to sacrifice comfort for fashion."

London offers the following tips to help women look and feel their best.

* Love your heels: Stylish heels add a touch of glamour to any outfit and even make your legs appear longer. Since they can sometimes hurt (and pain ruins the look) use an insole for comfort.

* More cushion please: When standing for a long time it's important to give your feet some extra TLC. The balls of your feet feel the most pressure so add cushioning to the area before slipping on heels.

* Practice makes perfect: If you're wearing new shoes, give yourself time to break them in (and practice walking). Wear them around the house for a week so you can address any discomfort beforehand.

* Go for flats: If heels aren't your thing, wear a pair of flats. For a sophisticated look, choose styles with a rounded point or a pointy toe. Distinct fabrics like patent leather, metallic colors or embellishment with rhinestones add even more flair.

* Be yourself: No matter the trends, wear what best suits you. Choose clothing and shoes that look and feel good for the body you have - not someone else's. And of course, confidence is a key fashion accessory.
