Before even reading this, I bet you’re already thinking about your traumatic experience of getting blisters from wearing affordable (but uncomfortable) shoes. Some may have even made a pact with themselves to not even glance at the shoe sections at these fast-fashion stores, even though there were a pair of mules that were so darn cute. But fret not! Let us break that pact with you as we share 5 tips on getting the best out of your money and getting that perfect balance of cost, comfort and quality.
Offline before Online
Even though we’ve been blessed with the existence of online shopping, when it comes to shoes, we need to take that offline. You might be able to make that a-little-too-big blue blazer you got from Zalora to work, but when a shoe is too big, too tight or too high for you, it’s hard to go back.

The Safer, The Better
When it comes to fast-fashion shoes, it is not the time to be too adventurous, unless you’d want to take that leap of faith. An open-toe sandal is definitely a much safer choice as compared to 6-inch stiletto heels. Stick to silhouettes that are simple and walkable, unless you’d want to be limping within the first 10 minutes of walking in them in the name of fashion.

Test Runs
When you try them on in-stores, don’t just try them on your right feet, put on both! Give them a test run by walking around the store at least for one round before deciding on getting them. You might get a few giggles and stares from the people around you, but if you find something that works for you and gives you zero pain (a.k.a no blisters), you’d have the last laugh.

Get the Fads
We know we said stick to the safer silhouettes, but we didn’t say stick to safer designs. If those lace-up sandals or furry mules are comfortable on the feet, we say why not? Think of it this way; would you rather spend $50 on those furry mules that you could probably get a wear out for six months or lose your go-to, classic black ballet flats in six months?

Make It Work
Let’s say you’ve succumbed to getting those 6-inch heels because they were just so darn cute, but could barely take a step after 5 minutes into wearing them. Be prepared to spend a little more. Load up on the heel grips and gel cushions to make the struggle more manageable so that you can still rock the painful heels.
