"SELECTING SHOES WHICH ENHANCE BODY SHAPE Rectangle Body Shape ~ The goal is to create shapes and curves, so round or oval-toed shoes are a much better fit than square shoes.‍ Pear Body Shape ~ The goal is to elongate the legs and make them look slimmer. Pointy-toe, square-toe and medium-to-chunky heels work well, as do long boots. Avoid ankle straps which break up the optically elongated leg line. Inverted Triangle Body Shape ~ The need is for more volume around the lower body to balance out the wide shoulders. Go for stand-out, larger, detailed footwear. Hourglass Body Shape ~ Retain the balanced silhouette. If the outfit is top-heavy, opt for chunkier shoe styles with plenty of color and details. If balanced, opt for classic, more neutral shoes. Apple Body Shape ~ Shoe styles need to balance out the top half of the body. Chunky shoe styles with color and details, medium-to-high block or wedge heels and platforms draw the eye downwards. Strappy sandals, ballet flats and calf-length boots also work well."
