While every woman has at least a couple of trendy dress shoes in her closet, it’s also true that cheap dress shoes can be the way to go on many occasions. The more expensive dress shoes are well-constructed, soft as butter and allow you to walk comfortably for significant distances, or at least stand in for hours, as you mingle at a party. On the other side, perhaps the poster child of cheap dress shoes are the one-occasion wear shoes. For example, a pair of shoes dyed-to-match a bridesmaid’s dress probably won’t get an encore at another event. Another example might be a pair of espadrilles, perfect for a particular sun dress, but nothing else.
