Large or small feet - how do you choose the right shoes for your size?

In length and width, there are shoes for every size, and the choice of shoe model can make a big difference to how you perceive the length of your feet. From small to large feet, it's entirely possible to create a harmonious silhouette by choosing your leather shoes carefully. Here are our tips for choosing styles that flatter your figure and emphasise your physique.

01 What shoes should you wear if you have large feet?

The aim here is to find the right proportions. So start by choosing dark colours: Dark shoes, such as black, navy blue or brown, have a visually reducing effect. Avoid pointed toes, as these make the foot look longer. Instead, choose a rounded or square toe to give the impression of a smaller foot. For formal occasions, choose closed-toe shoes such as high boots, oxfords or derbies.

As far as height is concerned, you should not wear shoes that are too flat, as these can emphasise the length of the foot. Therefore, favour shoes with a slightly thick sole or a small heel. Finally, favour thick heels over thin heels to achieve a good volume balance.

For those who want to create an illusion, here are a few tips! Start by choosing colourful styles: Bright shades (such as yellow or pastels) or bolder colours draw the eye and make the body appear larger.
Animal prints or embossed textures can also create a larger appearance.
Choose shoes with a pointed toe to visually lengthen your feet and give the impression of more length.

Which models are suitable for small feet? If you want to follow the trend, you should choose shoes with thick soles! Chunky trainers or platform ankle boots are ideal as they add height and dimension to your look. You can also choose shoes with adjustable straps: Models with laces, buckles or straps visually enlarge the size of your foot, allowing you to adjust the shoe to your body shape.
