What Colour Footwear Should I Get?

One question which I get pretty often is "What Colour Footwear Should I get?"
To answer this question I will use TRIBE's Brazilian Macaw costume as my example.



The main factor or guideline, would be, to use the main colour of your costume.

In the case of Brazilian Macaw, the colour would be red. And not just any old red but a nice rich., vibrant red.

Alternatively, if your costume has a few colours in it (like Brazilian Macaw), you can choose one of those other colours which would compliment your costume.

The next option would be to just go with the colour that the costume was modelled with, in this case, bronze.



One good rule of thumb is, that if you're not at all sure, go with a nice sparkly colour like gold, silver or bronze, as these colours are present in MOST costumes out there.

I mean after all it's Carnival and Carnival is all about flash and bling and glitter!

Saucy did an excellent posts with pics of costumes and the boots that would match them. Take a look and get some ideas.

I tell people though that if you are sending your footwear to me to decorate, don't worry about the colour too much as that can be changed with spray, just make sure your footwear is comfortable and fits well!

Hope this info helps!
