TYPES OF CARNIVAL SHOES

Boots

This is the majority of carnival goers’ first choice for carnival shoes when it comes to carnival. Boots are probably the most practical, comfortable and easiest choice to make when purchasing footwear for carnival.

Pros -come in variety of styles, most times comfortable, great for walking, dancing long distances, can be found easily in a variety of colors, textures etc.

Cons – “fit to leg” style may be a problem for some, feet/legs will get hot–depends on tolerance level

I’ve linked some of my favorite carnival boot styles below.

Sneakers

Sneakers are a great go -to and there are a lot of places that offer them in great colors and styles

Pros – definitely comfortable, comes in variety of colors, styles, a durable option for most

Cons – may or may not be the most dressiest/stylish option depending on personal taste

Wedges

Get these simple white sneaker wedges here.(available in more colors)

Commonly worn in various styles (i.e. sneaker wedge, boot wedge).

Pros: Gives a little lift to the butt, emphasizes the legs but a more comfortable option than a high heel.

Cons: Depending on arch, height of wedge can be tiresome to walk in. Easiest way to solve is to buy a lower wedge heel or inserts, gel cushions.

Heels

Can be done in various styles, but mostly seen with boots. In some cases, stilettos or platform heels.

Pros: A guaranteed lift to the butt and emphasis on legs

Cons: walking, chipping, dancing for long periods may prove painful

Here are some examples:

If you are definitely dedicated to chipping in heels, platform heels can definitely make a difference in level of comfort. If you’re a novice, break them in. Get used to them. If you’re a pro- then hats off to you!
