Shoe Shopping...Uh-Oh!

Time to go shopping and not sure what shoes to get?  No worries, This or That is here to help!
First off, think about the standards your new pair needs to make.  Does it need to be close-toed and able to withstand snow?  Or does it need to be stylish and high-heeled?
Once you have your standards in mind, take a look at the following checklist:
FLATS:  These strapless, loose shoes are very stylish but will not work under rain or snow.  They are not adequate for running or playing any sports but are easy to slip on and off.
BOOTS: 
  • For Style:
These kinds of boots are, again, not adequate for extreme weather or sports and get dirty very easily.  If your parents don't want to spend a lot of money on shoes, these are definetely NOT the right shoes for you, because even if the shoes themselves are cheap, getting them cleaned over and over again is sure to break the bank.  However, some of these boots can be sprayed to become waterproof, and are very warm on the inside.  These select varieties are actually OK in rain, although extreme snow or similar weather conditions would call for a different shoe.
  • For Durability:
These boots are not very stylish but are very all-purpouse and can be worn any time and through any weather condition.  They often last for years, as long as your feet don't grow.  Usually these are middle-priced, but can probably be found at other prices, depending on your need.  The cheaper boots probably won't last as long, but they'll still work.
SNEAKERS:  Sneakers are obviously great for running and sports, and that is their main use.  Often sneakers are offered in an array of colors and styles, so it's a great opportunity to get creative.  However, many schools only allow students to wear sneakers on gym days, so as an every-day shoe, a sneaker might not be the best idea.  Also, some types of sneakers can't withstand extreme weather.
STRAPPED SHOES:  This handy-dandy pair is sure to make you happy.  Although they can get wet and you do have to re-polish them once in a while, these shoes are perfect for school uniforms and are OK for running and sports, although not as great as sneakers.
Whether you were looking for style or coziness, I hope This or That helped with your shoe decisions, no matter what your needs, and got you on the right track for a year of fun, style, and healthy feet.
