Court Shoes for Women

Finding your perfect court shoes

What your perfect court shoes look like will depend on a number of factors. Do you have specificoutfits in mind? What heel height are you looking for? Overall, your choice of court shoe will be a result of their function – what are you buying them for? Consider these few points:

Heel size – While court shoes start with a kitten heel, they can also come in high heel varieties. You should think about what heel height is ideal for you and your comfort, especially if you plan on wearing them all day and not just for a night out.

Occasion – Are you looking for work? Or looking for the dance floor? Or looking for something to suit all occasions? While court shoes are fabulously versatile, you’ll need to think about the appropriate heel size and shoe colour for its function. Although we wouldn’t be against wearing neon yellow heels to the office, some people may not be quite as on board.

Fit/Safety – Although court shoes are perfectly comfortable in the right circumstances, it’s good practice to measure your feet and get the correct size and width. You should check to make sure your shoes fit securely without them either feeling crushed in or slipping off your feet. Or, if you plan to wear additional aids like insoles to help with comfort, to adjust the sizing accordingly.

What are court shoes?

A versatile ladies’ shoe, you can guess a court shoe’s history from the name. First worn by nobles in the royal courts centuries ago, they’ve only grown in popularity as they’ve filtered into general wear. From everyday or daywear looks, to office attire, eveningwear, and even sporting activities, these really are a shoe for every occasion.

How to style court shoes

For a more professional look, pair a neutral coloured kitten heel with your favourite work attire. Cute and casual daywear? You can never go wrong with a pair of jeans (your choice) – here you can stay neutral or pick a bolder colour to make them more of a centrepiece. Hitting the town? A high court shoe is just the ticket for dinner, drinks and dancing the night away. You’ve got full creative control in this case, so go wild.
