So you’re gearing up for a day of thrills and excitement at the races – better find that race-ready outfit. When pairing the threads on your back to the shoes on your feet, remember these magic words: style should always meet comfort.
You’ll want to look your absolute best on such a special outing as the races. For ladies, this often means toeing for your favourite heels. For the gents, it’s usually shiny brogues to match your dashing suit. Before you strap yourself in, think about how long you’re going to be on your feet during the day. Pointed stilettos may look sharp, but you’ll need some fashionable support to keep on top of each race.
$151.43
Here are some important features to consider when buying new shoes for the races:
- Look for a pair with a well-cushioned insole and enough room for your toes.
- If you’re wearing heels, opt for a chunky heel for extra support when walking across the grass.
- Stay stylish with a comfortable heel of three inches.
Best ladies’ shoes for the races
Some of the shoe styles you should consider sporting at the races include:
Heeled sandals
$70.45
- Elongate the look of your legs
- Let your feet breathe
- Easily styled with any look
A dainty heeled sandal is the perfect shoe for the races. Pair with a knee-length dress or skirt to complete an elegant outfit. Aside from looking great, a mid-heeled sandal also has the added bonus of being one of the most comfortable shoes you can wear at the races. A medium-height, chunky heel will offer your feet the support they need throughout the day – and stop you slowly sinking into the grass.
Block heel court shoes
$51.12 – $53.06
- Timeless classic
- Understated elegance
- Easy to style
Court shoes can be far more exciting than they sound. This simple style is enhanced by added embellishments and eye-catching patterns, elevating them onto the same platform as heels (no pun intended). Pick a pair that complements the colour of your outfit – nude and black shoes go with most looks. Or, for a pop of colour, either match or contrast one of the colours in your dress or skirt. Remember, when you’re walking around the grassy racetrack, a chunky block heel will be far sturdier than a stiletto or kitten heel.
Wedges
$59.60
- Strong arch support
- Sturdy on soft ground
- Trendy summer look
If you’re not used to wearing heels for long periods of the day, wedges are a great starting point. That’s why they’ve made it onto our list of must-have women’s shoes. Wedges will both support the arches of your feet and be far steadier on the uneven and soft ground of a racecourse. Nobody wants to miss the action by spending half their time pulling their heels out of the ground. A sturdy wedge will stop the sinking – so you can keep your eyes on the race.
Ballerina shoes
$53.46 – $55.25
- Comfortable and lightweight
- Good arch support
- Won’t sink into the ground
The flat design of ballerina shoes can work as a stylish pair of shoes for the races. A lot of people think that only heels will do for such a special occasion, but pick a pair of decorated or nude ballet pumps and you’ll fit right in with the elegantly dressed crowd of Cheltenham – or any other racecourse. Plus, you won’t spend your day sinking or pulling your heels out of the mud – thanks to the sturdy arch support of these reliable kicks.
Neutral loafers
$59.63
- Great arch support
- Stylish and comfortable
- Sturdy and well-structured
A pair of leather or patent loafers in a neutral colour will add a trendy edge to your races outfit without the height of a heel. If you’re looking for something fancier, you can bring a little extra glam with embellishments such as buckles or bows. The strong structure of a loafer means your feet will be supported and comfortable throughout the day, leaving you to enjoy your special day free of foot pain.
