The Quinceañera's Footwear
The quinceañera's footwear should match the color and quality of the dress, as well as the season, closed in winter and open in summer.
Variety of Footwear
- The options nowadays are much wider.
- The traditional satin or satin shoes, always matching the color of the dress.
- Metallic tone shoes, usually silver or gold.
- Sandals adorned with fake diamonds (rhinestones), sequins, etc.
- Lace shoes or sandals.
The use of heels is conditioned by the height of the quinceañera. Taller girls can even wear flat shoes, while shorter girls should wear heels that they can handle with elegance and comfort. It is true that high heels are more elegant, but you have to know how to wear them. Regardless of how low or high the heel is, if they don't fit you well, you won't be able to walk properly. Make sure to walk around the store several times before buying the shoes.
You can also practice at home with the heels, wearing them for half an hour a day to mold them to your feet and not feel them as new on that day or get blisters. Consider the option of bringing an additional pair of shoes to the party, especially if you have ones with high heels and you're not used to them. These extra shoes should be comfortable for you and also have the appropriate color so that you don't lose harmony and elegance, even during the dance or the final moments of the party. Avoid walking barefoot because you can't handle the heels and didn't bring spare ones.
The shoes should never be dark colored like black or brown. If the color of your dress is very special and you can't find shoes in that shade, buy more fabric and have your shoes lined at a specialized place. Remember that you need to buy more than one pair of shoes because there is one pair (girl's style or plain) that you will wear at the beginning of the ceremony and that should be changed for the other pair (lady's style). This is part of the ceremony and represents your transition from girl to woman.
