Expert Answer

Take a look at the reviews to get a really good understanding of how the shoes fit and make sure to always check the size chart. When buying heels or sneakers, I recommend sizing up about a half to a full size.

What kind of socks are suitable to wear in summer?

Ankle socks. Longer socks look tacky in the summer, especially if you're wearing a dress, skirt, or shorts.

How do I determine the quality of a shoe?

Follow the guidelines in the article. Make sure the shoe is sturdy and comfortable. For quality of the stitching, just check that there's no threads loose, sticking out, etc. It's always helpful to read reviews of the shoe online as well.
