Choosing the best footwear for summer is a personal choice for every woman (or man) and you have to consider a few things when you have to pick your footwear for the day during summer. You want to think about the outfit you are wearing and whether it’s sporty, casual or dressy; you want to consider the activities you have planned for the day and finally you want to consider the locations you will be walking.

Choose the right look
When you are pulling an outfit together for the day you will want to pick the shoes to go with the outfit. If you have sporty or casual attire then summer flats will be the best choice. But for a dressier look then you will want to wear heels. Heels tighten the body and make and improve your silhouette making the outfit stand out and look classy.
Heels and volleyball don’t mix
If you’ve ever gone to a summer BBQ thinking it was to be a dressy affair only to final all your friends in casual sporty attire playing volleyball and other summer games then you know that having the wrong footwear can hamper having a good time. When you choose the footwear you will have on for the day consider if you will want to take part in the gaming activities or just sit on the sidelines and cheer. If you want to join in, then summer flats are the way to go but if you prefer to not take part then summer heels can give you the perfect excuse to stay on the sidelines.
Making the trek
Sara Jessica Parker’s character in the show Sex in the City made running across Manhattan in high heels an art form so unless you have developed this talent yourself you may want to consider wearing summer flats vs summer heels. Consider the activities you have planned for the day. Will you be attending an outdoor wedding? Then even though it is a formal affair you may want to forego the stilettos or you’ll be poking holes in the lawn throughout the day and have a difficult time walking. The same holds true for the beach, navigating sand with heels is difficult so choose a flat instead.
Choosing summer flats vs. summer heels comes down to common sense by looking at what you are wearing, what you’ll be doing and the terrain you have to travel.
