What features should I look for in a comfortable bootie for women?

There are many brands of women’s booties that are both stylish and comfortable. Choose a shoe that’s going to best match your intended wear. If you’re on your feet all day or walk a lot, look for boots with a lower heel, sufficient ankle support, a durable rubber outsole, and a soft cushioned insole. Make sure the boots aren’t too heavy. Many booties are pull-on, featuring a tab at the heel of the shoe and stretchy material across the top so you can comfortably slide your foot in and out. You can also find boots that come in narrow and wide sizes to better accommodate your foot. Look for boots made of leather or synthetic leather for added stretch, comfort, and durability.

How do I pick out the right size snow boots for a child?

To make sure you buy the right size snow boot for your child, have your child try on shoes with thick socks that they plan to wear with the boots. Since snow boots are naturally wider and tend to fit larger than other boots, you might choose a size smaller than you need. It’s not advised to size up for children’s snow boots.

Are wedge-heel boots hard to walk in?

Wedge-heel boots are designed with a wider wedge-shaped base, shallow tread, and generally flatter outsole that makes full contact with the ground. This style of boot provides more cushioning and support for the feet and ankles than a traditional heel. With wedge heels, your body weight is more evenly distributed, not tilted toward the toe as in other high-heeled shoes. As a result, wedge boots tend to be a comfortable shoe to walk in and wear as a daily shoe.
