Shoes: The Basics
Shoes can be a crucial statement piece in your outfit, so finding the right pair is important. Beyond making a statement, shoes can provide support, protection, and comfort. You may feel like you have to compromise quality for price, but you won’t have to when you browse our shoe deals! Events like Prime Day at Amazon can mean finding truly great deals when you least expect them. Wondering "when is Prime Day this year?" We've got all the info you need to get the best offers.
Shoe Style Guide
Whether you’re looking to complete your closet, or just want the details about different shoe styles, check out this list for a quick run-down on some of the more popular shoe styles you should consider:
Men’s Shoes
- Black Oxfords: A pair of quality black dress shoes is a must for anyone. For men, black oxfords are a great choice to fill the slot. Check out this blog post for some additional information.
- Derby Shoes: Not to be confused with oxfords, Derby shoes are more frequently worn with casual outfits. The primary difference in Oxfords and Derby shoes lies in the stitching by the tongue for the laces . If you like a classy look, but prefer a more casual design, Derby shoes are a great addition to your closet.
- Loafers: For a casual look sans laces, a pair of stylish (and comfortable) loafers is a great go-to. There are plenty of styles and colors to choose from, so pick one that best suits you and your style!
- Boots: The fall favorite you can wear anytime, a smart pair of men’s boots are a great closet staple. Leather boots are great for many different types of weather, and fit many outfits, too.
Women’s Shoes
- Ballet Flats: For some women, ballet flats are their go-to shoe. But even if you prefer heels, a neutral ballet flat is a wise purchase for its versatility.
- Flat Sandals: Summertime (and sometimes springtime) rings in sandal season — show off your pedicure with great sandal deals on our site.
- Platform Sandals: Want to add height to your summer look? Consider adding some sandal wedges or “flatforms” to your shoe collection.
- Heels: There are a few basic styles women should consider for their closet — pumps, kitten heels, block heels, and wedges all fit the bill. Check out this style guide for some tips on how to dress each type!
- Boots: Last, but not least, boots are a woman’s fall and winter favorite. With versatility in length, heel type, color, and material, it’s easy to find boots to match each outfit.
Unisex Shoes
- Minimalist Sneakers: Keeping a pair of solid sneakers in your closet is always a good move. The classic white is a favorite, but you can mix it up with a different neutral color that will match almost any outfit.
- Athletic Shoes: Selecting the right gym shoe can be just as important as your workout for your health. Check out this list to help you select the best shoe for your workout.
Shoe Hacks
So you’ve bought the best shoe deals online here at DealNews, but now you need some tips and tricks for some common problems. Check out this list for awesome hacks to help take care of your shoes (and your feet):
- Stretch tight shoes by wearing thick socks and using a hair dryer.
Shoes too snug? This is a common issue even for those who tried them on in-store. One easy solution is putting on a pair of thick socks with the shoe and applying heat from a hair dryer over the problem areas. Don’t keep the direct heat on too long; 20 to 30 seconds should suffice.
- OR… stretch tight shoes by placing a bag of water in them and then freezing.
Got a little more time? Tons of sites also offer this quick remedy to expand the size of your shoe. Just fill a zippered bag with water, place it in the shoe and then place the shoe in the freezer for 4 to 8 hours. The ice will expand and stretch the shoe.
- Pack your dirty shoes in a shower cap.
Packing your gym bag or suitcase, but you don’t have a shoe bag? Just grab a shower cap to keep your dirty shoes from contaminating other items in your bag!
- Add grip to slick shoes by sanding the soles.
Shoes without a rubber sole can be quite slippery. Sanding the slick sole by rubbing it with sandpaper can help make your shoes grip surfaces better.
- Store tall boots with pool noodle inserts.
Don’t let the end of boot season wreak havoc on your tall boots. Insert a cut pool noodle into each boot to help maintain their shape.
- Dry wet shoes with newspaper.
Shoes a bit damp from the rain? Using a clothes dryer can add dents to your machine. Also, too much heat can damage the shoe’s materials or glued pieces. Instead, insert some newspaper to help pull away moisture.
- Tape toes to make heels more comfortable.
The tape trick isn’t just an old wives tale — there’s science to taping your third and fourth toes together when wearing heels. By taping these toes together, you relieve pain by removing some of the pressure that comes from balancing on the balls of your feet.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I stop my shoes from squeaking?
A common, frustrating experience with shoes is listening to them squeak all day. If little sounds annoy you, this frequent sound could grind your nerves, but if you try some of these recommended steps , you may finally find peace:
Sprinkle baby powder in your shoes.
Most squeaking is due to moisture in your shoe; sprinkling baby powder in the shoe should help absorb the excess moisture.
Wear down new soles.
New shoes sometimes come with a squeak as your new soles are just beginning to wear down. You can expedite this process by gently rubbing the soles with sandpaper.
Separate the insole with a dryer sheet.
Sometimes new insoles will squeak in your shoes, too — just grab a dryer sheet and place it under the insole to serve as a buffer!
How do I remove odors from my shoes?
When your shoes get sweaty or wet, suddenly there’s a not-so-pleasant odor when you take your shoes off. There’s a few ways to remedy this problem:
Prevent shoe odors before they start.
The best way to keep shoe odors at bay is to never get them. You can do this by making sure you wash your feet, wear clean socks, avoid wearing damp shoes, and washing your shoes as needed .
Kill the bacteria.
Most shoe odor is the bacteria from sweat breaking down in your shoe. Here’s three different options:
- Put your shoes in a bag in the freezer overnight.
- Spray them with rubbing alcohol.
- Spray them with a diluted vinegar solution
Remove the stench.
Once you’ve killed the bacteria, you’ll need to remove any remaining odor by placing either baking soda or charcoal in your shoes. Instead of sprinkling baking soda directly into your shoe, place it in a coffee filter and tie it up, like a tea bag.
Keep Shoes Dry
Once you’ve deodorized your shoes, be sure to keep them dry. This will keep any mold from forming and creating a new problem.
Buy New Shoes
If you’ve tried all of these steps to no avail, it may be time to purchase a new pair of shoes. We have some of the best shoe deals online — you’re only clicks away from savings.
How do I clean my suede shoes?
f you got a little mud or goop on your favorite suede shoes, don’t panic! You can easily clean them as long as you follow the right steps .
Consider purchasing a suede cleaning brush.
While you can clean your suede shoes without a brush, this inexpensive investment will help keep your shoes looking new. Be sure to brush in the direction of the fibers.
Place crumpled paper in your shoe before cleaning.
Keep your shoe’s shape by placing crumpled paper in the shoe before you clean it.
For tougher stains, add white wine vinegar.
Food, wine, or salt stains may require a diluted vinegar solution for spot removal. Apply the solution to the spot, allow to dry, and brush out the fabric.
Use a suede eraser for lingering stains
Stains caused by oil, water, or grease might not come out with a simple brush. A suede eraser should help you buff out those stains.
Rub with a clean bath towel.
Once you’ve finished brushing your shoe, rub it down in the direction of the grain with a clean bath towel to remove any dust.
Once you’ve followed all of these steps, your suede shoes should look good as new!
