Prom Shoes

If you want a look that's right on par with the hottest trends, but you still want to wear the shoes after the prom has come and gone, these RSVP pumps might just do the trick.

With 4" heels, 1" platform soles, silky satin uppers, and dramatic bow embellishments, these high heels look as if they were made to be prom shoes for a princess, and they come in loads of great colors like black, silver, fuchsia, purple and red.

If you were to read the 150+ customer reviews at Zappos.com, you'd believe that these shoes were just about perfect, and even without reading the reviews, you might come to the same conclusion. The heels are very wearable at only 2.25 inches; the satin uppers make these perfect for evening wear; the twisted vamps and open toes give them a classically feminine look; and the price is right at just under $80 per pair. They're also perfect as prom shoes, because they come in loads of great colors, including black, gold, and silver, as well as several other, brighter shades.

I'm absolutely crazy about these pumps, because they're just so glamorous and shimmery. The satin-lined uppers and open-toes make them perfect for evening wear, and the rhinestone embellishments make them certain to turn heads.

Available in rose gold or silver, they'd be great as prom shoes, but only for those who are used to wearing very high heels, as these pumps feature heels that are 5-inches tall. The good news is that they also have 1" partially-hidden platform soles, so they won't feel quite as high.

These shoes have just about everything going for them: luxurious fabric uppers; feminine, rhinestone-dotted bows; heels that are only 3.25 inches high, and a price tag that ranges from $50 to $80, depending on color. But the best part is that these open-toed pumps feature a classic design that will work season after season, year after year. Available in seven versatile colors, including black, gold, and silver, these pretty shoes are as unique as they are dynamic.

If you want your prom shoes to have a bit of bling, but don't want sky-high heels, then you should check out these stunning and elegant shoes from J. Renee. Adorned with rhinestone-accented bows, these open-toed pumps have glimmer fabric uppers, and heels of 2.75 inches. Available in black, gold, pewter, and silver, there is a choice for nearly any color gown, and they come in a wide selection of sizes and widths, including narrow, medium, and wide.

One hundred percent cute and sexy, these flirty peep-toe slingbacks feature fabric uppers; feminine, floral embellishments; and 4" heels. The classic, glamorous design makes them easy to pair with just about any kind of prom dress, and the color choices are perfect: black, champagne and red.

But these shoes also have one other huge advantage, and that's their accessibility. Not only are these pretty shoes available in women's sizes 5-13, but they also come in regular/medium widths, as well as in wide and extra-wide widths.

With 4" heels, satin uppers, and an extremely feminine design, these shoes have pretty, girly bows on their open-toed vamps. Available in black, blue, ivory, purple and red, these classic prom shoes get extra points for having wedge heels, which are hot right now, as well as being easier to wear than stilettos -- and even more extra points for having dainty ankle straps, which will help keep them in place.

Silver prom shoes are always a popular choice, but these gorgeous sandals have a lot more going for them than just their versatile color. The style is very flattering; the multiple straps will help to keep them in place while you're dancing the night away; and the glittery, strappy uppers are sure to turn heads. Also available in black and rose gold, these stunning prom sandals have leather uppers and back zippers.

Simple, pretty, and versatile, these open-toed slingback pumps come in black, mauve, ocean, taupe, gold, and pewter, and they're quite a bargain at less than $50 per pair.

With wearable 3.5" heels, these shoes would be a great addition to any wardrobe, as they're formal enough for prom, but not so fancy that they wouldn't work well for other dressy occasions.

Looking for something a little more... eye-catching? Have a look at these shimmery prom shoes from Enzo Angiolini.

Offered in gold, silver and black, these dynamic shoes feature sequin-embellished uppers and flattering slingback straps. Unfortunately, these high heel prom shoes have heels that are 5 inches tall, which means that even with their 1.25" platform soles, they're probably not going to be the most comfortable shoes -- especially for dancing. And, if you're not used to very high heels, you should definitely look for another pair, but you can still use these trendy, glamorous shoes as a great example of what to look for in your own prom shoes.
