Now let’s dive into the ultimate gold shoes guide to choosing the perfect pair of gold shoes.

Gold Shoes: The Ultimate Guide

How to Choose the Right Heel Height

Choosing the right heel height is essential to ensure that your gold shoes are comfortable and practical. Depending on the occasion and the outfit, you may want a higher heel or even a flat shoe. Generally the more formal the occasion, the higher the heel. For a casual party or outing, comfort may play the biggest factor and you will want a lower heel or flat shoe. But your comfort comes first. If you want to wear a flat gold shoe to a wedding, that’s perfectly ok! Plus choosing a gold shoe will instantly elevate your look no matter what the heel height.

Tips on Choosing Size

In addition to heel height, size is an important factor in comfort. Some brands like Inez shoes, offers multiple widths and heel heights for certain styles. I think every shoe brand should do this! Not only is choosing the correct size important, but also considering arch support. Now that I wear shoe brands that offer arch support, I notice such a difference when wearing regular shoes. The arch support adds such a comfort factor, especially if you will be wearing your gold shoes for a long time. An added bonus for sure!

Best Gold Shoes To Have In Your Closet

Tried and true, these are my top 6 picks for stylish and comfortable gold shoes to suit every occasion. I’m giving you the inside scoop on sizing, styling, and comfort.

Strappy Gold Heels

Gold heels are the most versatile heels in your wardrobe. Much like a neutral pair of shoes, gold heels go with just about everything. Special occasions like weddings, graduations, and more formal events always call for a dressy heel. But dressy doesn’t have to mean too high and uncomfortable. My favorite strappy gold heels are the Sofia heels by Inez. These gold heels are made from the softest leather with a cushioned footbed. The additional arch support really makes these wearable all night long. I never have a problem with comfort when it comes to my Inez shoes. Most Inez shoes are available in multiple widths for all inclusive sizing- slim, standard, and roomy fit. I’m wearing a size 7.5 standard fit. The heel height on these are a wearable 2.8″ (70mm).

I love these strappy gold heels paired with an elegant dress just as much as I love them with a pair of white jeans in summer! Plus the gold color is a soft gold, not too yellow and not too silver but a nice light gold. This is great if you love mixing your jewelry metals. I love them so much that I also featured these in my Must Have Summer Shoes post.

90’s Style Gold Heels

If you’re looking for versatile 90’s style gold heels, look no further. These ultra stylish gold heels are elegant enough for most dressy or casual night time looks. I absolutely love these with jeans! The 90’s inspired twisted leather straps are buttery soft. Since the straps are a bit wider, it makes them a little bit more casual than the gold Sofia sandals mentioned above. While I reach for both pairs of gold heels, if you are looking for one to cover most of your outfit needs, I recommend the Isabel gold sandals. I wear a size 7.5 in this style. The leather is soft and forgiving at the straps. Take your true size.

Gold Thong Flip-Flops

Flat gold sandals are so versatile during the summer months. I wear mine to the pool, shopping at the Farmer’s market, and really anywhere. These are great to slip on and go. Use them when you want comfort, but also want to add a touch of glamor to our outfit.

This pair of gold thong style sandals gets more comfortable with each wear. I promise that these really soften up and will become your go-to summer shoes! Made in Palm Beach of hand selected materials, this is the only flip-fop style shoe you need. I’m wearing a size 7.5.

Metallic Gold Block Heels

Block heel sandals definitely make a statement. The chunky heel gives you balance and height, but also gives you a statement making accessory. When wearing block heel sandals, especially in gold, I like to keep my other accessories minimal. There are two block heel styles I really love.

First is the Lulu gold shoes in a 2.2 inch (55 mm) heel height. If you have read my previous blogs, you will know that Inez is a favorite shoe brand of mine. Plus the fact that I’ve already mentioned them twice here! First for quality and comfort, and second for style. Inez is very good at taking a timeless style and adding a modern twist to it. Made from luxe Spanish leather, and a proprietary plush insole with arch support, these block heels are great with dresses or pants for added height and sparkle! I wear a size 7 in this style. I think it fits a tiny bit large.

Next in this gold shoes guide is the Perfect Block Sandals in a 60 mm heel height. These have an adjustable ankle strap for added support. These are very slightly higher than the Lulu sandals mentioned above, and the block heel is not as wide. This pair also contains comfortable arch support and is beautiful! These are great for parties where you will be dancing. I love these so much that I have them in several colors. You can take 15% off your first full price purchase with code SF-TARA-15. I’m wearing a size 37.5.

Gold Ankle Strap Sandals

When I think of summer, strappy grecian style sandals always comes to mind. A cotton dress and ankle strap flats are so effortlessly chic. A bit bohemian but classic enough to go with any style. I love these gold wrap sandals because of their extra plush insole and champagne color design. These are comfortable enough to wear strolling through town, on the boardwalk, or to elevate a casual dinner look. I’m wearing a size 37.5.

Gold Wedge Heels

Gold wedge heels are a summer wardrobe staple! They provide just the right amount of height while keeping your foot stable. Gold wedge heels are a perfect way to elevate a casual summer outfit. They are a little bit dressier than flat sandals, but more casual than a pair of traditional heels. This pair has been a go-to of mine for years. Sizing runs true to American size. I wear a size 7. By choosing classic accessories, you always have a timeless look year after year. A must on the gold shoes guide!

Gold Shoes for Work and Weekend

Block heels are still going strong this year. That’s good for those of us that want a more supportive shoe. It’s much easier to walk on a chunky block heel than a stiletto. Plus they are work appropriate. If you are unsure of the trend or are looking to invest in it, a gold block heel shoe is a versatile option for you. The metallic texture takes away from the look of the block heel and puts the attention on the shine. It adds a feminine and elegant touch.

I’m wearing a closed toe version which is great for all seasons, however an open toe gold option is so classy! The style I’m wearing is from my Favorite French brand. Not all half sizes are available. Choose your true size. If in-between sizes then size up to the next whole size. I wear a size French 38 in this brand (equivalent to US size 7/ 7.5).

Gold Shoes Guide: Look For Comfort

Comfort really counts with shoes. You should invest in your foot health by buying comfortable and supportive shoes. I always look for cushioned footbeds, non-restrictive styles, and arch support if possible. I also don’t believe in a long break-in period. Shoes should be comfortable right out of the box. Maybe a bit tight with natural leather as that will stretch but nothing too stiff or too uncomfortable is worth wearing.

The shoes mentioned above that have arch support are the Inez shoes and Sara Flint shoes. Both brands are my most worn and loved shoes. I have full reviews on them both if you want to dive into sizing and styles deeper- Inez Shoes Review and my Sarah Flint Shoe Guide.

Block heels and wedge heels are another tip if you are shopping for a more supportive shoes. The extra wide heel helps with balance while still giving you some added height. Overall, gold shoes can be worn for any occasion and can really elevate your look.
