Glass Prom Shoes
From LoveToKnow Shoes
If you want to wear glass prom shoes for your big night, think literally, not figuratively.
The Reality of Glass Prom Shoes
Of course you can't really wear a glass shoe to the prom. Think how dangerous it would be if the shoe were to break and your feet were surrounded by shards of glass. What about shatterproof glass, you might ask? That's not an option. Think how impractical that would be. The shoes would be so heavy you would barely be able to lift your feet, never mind trip the light fantastic. There are options, however, if you have your heart set on a glass prom shoe. You just need to use your imagination. Here's how it works.
Every teenage girl has a little bit of superhero in her. How else are you able to navigate the challenges and pressures of school, family, friends and dating? How else do you have the energy to think about the bigger issues such as saving the planet, helping those in need and pursuing your dreams? So if you want a glass shoe, just tap into your own inner princess and superhero to create the perfect shoe.
Look to Cinderella and Wonder Woman as your inspiration. Traditional folklore will tell you that Cinderella wore a glass slipper the night of her magical ball and Wonder Woman flew in a glass airplane when she was out and about saving the world. We all bought into the myth, didn't we?
Well, logic will tell you that Cinderella couldn't have sprinted home in time to meet her curfew in real glass shoes and Wonder Woman couldn't have made emergency landings in a breakable aircraft. Their accessories were actually made of plain old plastic. The sparkle and shine that made these plastic items seem so glamorous came from Cinderella's inner beauty and Wonder Woman's inner strength. The point is, if you want to wear a glass shoe to the prom, choose one of the many clear plastic designs available today and use your stunning personality to make it shine.
Where to Buy Glass Prom Shoes
PromShoe.com sells a Cinderella-style shoe that looks like it is made of glass. These clear vinyl shoes are pump-style with a two-inch heel and silver metallic strip down the back. They cost approximately $51. PromShoe.com also sells shoes made from Lucite, a thermoplastic acrylic resin that sparkles with like real glass. Lucite shoes are luminescent and will pick up the colors in your prom dress beautifully. The site sells a two-and-one-quarter inch slip on heel with a pretty bow on the front for approximately $40.
Alisha Hill makes a beautiful clear shoe available at Dyeable Shoe Store online for approximately $75. However these shoes have six-inch heels. Despite its name, MyGlassSlipper.com doesn't sell clear plastic shoes. However, they do sell beautiful prom shoes suitable for any princess or wonder woman.
Keep in mind a few practical tips when you choose your prom shoes. Modern day princesses know that style and comfort do mix. Try on your shoes before you buy and make sure you can walk comfortably in them. Heels are beautiful, but not if they are so high they prevent you from dancing and having a great time on prom night. After you buy your shoes wear them around the house a few times before prom night. This will help you from getting blisters the first time you wear them. It will also scuff the shoe soles a little so they won't be too slippery on the dance floor. Remember, you want a shoe that allows you to look like a princess, feel like a superhero, complements your prom dress and allows you to run home in time for your curfew. You don't want your limo to turn into a pumpkin!
