Gold prom shoes, like silver prom shoes, are a popular and versatile choice. They're perfect for pairing with prom dress that have gold accents or detailing, and they're certainly one of the most glamorous choices you can make.

To find the perfect gold prom shoes for your dress, you'll want to pay attention to the tone of both. As a general rule, a dark red dress will go better with shoes that are a darker shade of gold, etc. If your prom dress is a dark color, but there is a pair of medium-toned gold shoes that are really speaking to you, then just be sure to match your other accessories to the tone/color of your shoes -- this will help to pull the whole outfit together.

You'll also want to consider whether the shoes are strappy gold sandals or gold pumps with fuller coverage, as this will also have a huge effect on how well the shoes go with your prom gown.

If your prom dress has gold accents, your decision is easy: simply match the gold of the shoes to the gold details of your dress.

Generally speaking, colors that go especially well with gold prom shoes are: black, white, earth tones, reds, jewel tones, creams, taupes, browns, oranges, purples, dark blues, and dark greens.
