Low Heel Prom Shoes
From LoveToKnow Shoes
Now that flats have made a comeback, low heel prom shoes can be stylish and comfortable solutions for a teenage girl's big night out.
Yes, you want to look your prettiest on prom night. You spend hours searching for a dress and planning your hair and makeup. After all, you will be photographed more than you have ever been and those images will be immortalized in your yearbook and on Facebook forever. You know that shoes can make or break an outfit but you should also know they can make or break your evening.
Low heel shoes can save you from an evening of misery and embarrassment. Nothing ruins the perfect look more than a girl hobbling in pain from blisters, burning soles, throbbing toes, or worse, a twisted ankle. Plus you go to the prom to dance, to mingle, to pose. You want to be swept off your feet, not stuck in your chair with your feet up.

Types of Low Heel Dress Shoes
Low heel prom shoes come in a variety of colors, heel heights and styles. Some fashionable styles to look for include:
- Ballet slippers: The ballet slipper is a classic style shoe that never goes out of style but has recently become very fashionable. Ever since Audrey Hepburn wore these shoes in her films, they have symbolized grace and elegance. Ballet slippers can be worn under long gowns for comfort or with garden length dresses for style.
- Kitten heels: Kitten heels have a slight heel, usually about an inch and a half. They are a good alternative for girls who want some heel but don’t want to wear a pump or stiletto. Kitten heels will give the leg some shape and can be sexy and pretty with any dress.
- Dyeables: Dyeable shoes are shoes that can be dyed to match the color of your prom gown, corsage or any accessory. Dyeables are satin shoes that come in almost any shape and style from high heels to flats.
- Wedges: If you want some height but don’t want to wear a pump, consider a wedge. Wedges are more comfortable than heels because the wedge usually runs the length of the sole. High heels often feel like spikes in your heel by the end of a long night.
- Peep toes: Peep toed pumps, originally popular in the 1940s, have made a comeback in recent years. The good news for fashionistas who love to dance is this trendy style comes in a low heel as well as a pump.
- Strappy sandals: Strappy sandals can be very dressy when they are embellished with sequins, stones and beads. You can find dressy sandals in a flat style or with an inch heel. For a little shimmer, buy a heel in a metallic gold, pewter or silver leather.
- Flip flops: Flip flops come in all kinds of colors and designs. Today's styles are adorned with flowers and jewels. However, with so many other low heel options available, save the flip flops for the beach and wear something special on your feet for prom night.
Stylish, savvy gals will consider a low heel shoe for prom night.
