Women Red Shoes
Here at Bobbies, we offer a variety of high-quality red shoes for women, from comfortable red shoes for casual occasions, to eye-catching red shoes with heels.
The Allure of Red Shoes
Red shoes have a unique allure, owing to a combination of the colour's strong visual appeal and the history and cultural significance of red shoes in various parts of the world.
History and Cultural Significance
First, it is useful to explore the history and cultural significance of red shoes in different parts of the world.
Historical Origins
Throughout many cultures, red shoes have been associated with nobility, power and high status. They have historically been worn by French and Russian royalty, Roman senators and emperors, as well as religious leaders. In more recent times, these shoes have become highly fashionable, commanding attention and making a strong statement.
Red Shoes in Literature and Film
Shoes that are red in colour have featured in literature and films, with examples ranging from The Wizard of Oz to Hans Christian Andersen's The Red Shoes. Throughout time, red shoes for women have been used to symbolise ideas of power, maturity, femininity, rebellion, passion and sensuality.
Fashion and Style
In the sections below, you can access valuable fashion and styling information related to red shoes.
Iconic Red Shoe Designs
Red slip-on shoes are an iconic footwear choice, evoking the image of Judy Garland playing Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. This basic aesthetic is captured by shoes in the Bobbies collection, including our Kaïa shoes in the Ruby colour option. Red platform shoes, like our Louise shoes in Ruby are also a favourite of modern pop stars.
How to Style Red Shoes
There are a variety of options for styling red shoes. In general, it can be helpful to match this shoe colour with at least one other red item, which could be a top, coat, hat or an accessory like a handbag. Red shoes can also be paired effectively with dark denim, creating a casual look where your shoes really stand out. Low heels in red can be paired with neutral-coloured dresses, creating stunning looks that are ideal for dinners or nights out.
Buying Guide
Below, you can find useful tips on how to buy the right shoes for your tastes, needs and fashion sense.
Choosing the Right Shade of Red
Finding the right colour is an essential step in the buying process. Here at Bobbies, we offer high-heeled shoes, loafers, sandals, western boots and other red shoes in a variety of colours. Our Ruby colour option is ideal if you want to make a bold statement, while Nebbiolo is a darker and more understated option.
Material Considerations
Next, you need to think about the ideal material for your shoes. Patent leather offers a stylish, glossy appearance, while lambskin leather can be great for durability. If you are prioritising comfortable red shoes, suede could be a great fit, while classic leather is an excellent all-around choice and offers timeless appeal.
Price Range and Budgeting
Finally, you need to consider the amount you are willing to spend on your new shoes. At Bobbies, we are passionate about making luxury, Parisian-style fashion available at affordable prices. Browse our full range of red shoes, from wide fit boots to slip-on shoes, and sort by price to find the option that matches your budget.
