Drag Shoes

Own the Runway or the Dance Floor with the Perfect Pair of Drag Shoes

Youve got the wig, the dress, and the accessories, but you still need that finishing touch. All thats missing is a great pair of drag shoes so you can sashay down that runway with confidence. Whether youre a beginner or a seasoned Queen, eBay has the shoes for you, and at a fantastic price.

If theres a dress, there are the perfect shoes to match it. When it comes to drag shoes, youre limited only by your imagination. Whatever you do, dont go for something tasteful or understated, especially if your outfit makes a big, bold statement. This doesnt mean you can just wear the first pair you find, however, your shoes should coordinate with your outfit, whether they match or provide a contrasting colour. Your shoes should also help you showcase your drag persona to her fullest potential. Here are a few examples of the types of shoes available:

• Kitten heels: Low heels, these are great for beginners.
• Stilettoes: The classic sexy shoes. These are suited to experienced pros.
• Wedges: These give a great summery look and are easier to balance in.
• Boots: These can give you a vampy look, and also offer a bit more ankle protection.

Beginners should start with a low heel, as they may have trouble keeping their balance in stilettoes at first. As with any new pair of shoes, try to wear them around the house before you wear them for a performance, as this will give them time to soften and get a bit more comfortable. If you will be dancing in your drag shoes, make sure you can do so safely. If you dont have much experience, stick to a lower, chunkier heel at first. The last thing you need is an ankle injury that will stop you performing at all.

There are a few tips and tricks to save yourself some foot pain. Making sure your shoes fit your feet is the first thing to do. For example, if you have wide feet, make sure you get a wide fitting shoe. Choosing leather over synthetic materials is also a good idea, as it will mould to your feet over time much more easily. If your shoes have straps, make sure they are securely fastened - this will stop your feet sliding around, and also reduce the risk of ankle injury. Dont tighten them so much that they pinch your feet, however.
