Q: What type of shoes are dress shoes?

Dress shoes for women can come in a variety of styles and silhouettes. Some styles can include heels, pumps, loafers, slingback shoes, ballet flats, mules, and heeled sandals.

Q: Can flats be considered formal?

Although many womens dress shoes feature heels, flats can also be considered formal, especially when paired with more formal clothes. To ensure a polished look for your outfit, consider factors such as embellishments and high-quality materials with your flats. Bows, sequins, and metallic accents can make all the difference.

Q: Can dress shoes be worn casually?

Some dress shoes, like flats or loafers, can be dressed down when worn with certain casual pieces like jeans or shorts. However, most dress shoe styles lean more on the formal side. As such, they may not pair well with casual outfits.

Q: How to pick a good dress shoe?

Besides having a sophisticated look to them, quality dress shoes must also have a good fit on top of being comfortable to wear even after walking and standing all day. Look for dress shoes that offer arch and heel support, like the ABEO Avenue Pump, which features built-in orthotics to ensure your feet have proper cushioning with every step you take.

Designed for formal and smart casual wear, dress shoes are often made from premium materials – such as leather, suede, and nubuck – and feature elegant silhouettes to enhance your outfit. Contrasting athletic shoes, dress shoes prioritize style over comfort. However, The Walking Company dress shoes offer the perfect balance of both, keeping your feet looking and feeling good at the same time.

ABEO shoes are engineered to provide your feet with innovative comfort built to last. Our comfortable shoes offer all-day comfort thanks to BIOsystem® Orthotic Technology that delivers the perfect balance of anatomical support, responsive cushioning, and balanced alignment. Besides being crafted for comfort and support, our shoes also come in a wide variety of styles and silhouettes, ensuring you always have the right pair of shoes for every occasion and terrain.

ABEO shoes are built to provide your feet with superior arch and heel support, ensuring proper weight distribution and balance when walking. More than just your typical pair of orthopedic shoes, we provide footwear that looks good while feeling good all day long.

Other innovative features and benefits of ABEO shoes include:

Ergonomic cushioned soles soften steps to help foot and heel pain.
Deep heel cup helps stabilize feet and align the body to minimize fatigue.
