OK, now that you've done the dirty work and examined your assets, here's our advice:

Large on top
You want to balance your body by de-emphasising your chest and drawing attention to your lower half. Look for shoes with a shorter heel and avoid shoes like dainty stilettos.

Large on bottom
You want to elongate the look of your legs in order to make them look slimmer. Look for a pair of shoes with a high, thick heel and rounded front. Avoid pointy-tipped shoes with stiletto heels and flat ballerina pumps.

Short legs
The basic rule of thumb when dealing with short legs is to add as much height as possible.

Large legs
Long legs look even longer when wearing heels - be careful that you don't tower over your mate! You can get away with wearing flat shoes depending on the thickness of your ankles and your thighs.

Thick legs
You want to add definition to your legs. Look for shoes like pointed slingbacks, but make sure they have a thicker heel. Anything too thin will look awkward and may not provide enough support. Another option to try is a pair of narrow, low wedge shoes. The wedge helps to balance your legs.

Thick ankles
The best way to deal with thick ankles is to disguise them. Your best bet is a pair of high court shoes with a strap that goes across the top of your foot. The height makes your legs look longer and the strap draws the focus away from your ankle. Avoid flat shoes like ballerina pumps.

Dainty ankles
Your best bet is to slip on a pair of elegant high slingbacks with a narrow heel. When worn, they look like a continuation of the heel and show off the ankle. Avoid chunky loafers or you may look like you're walking in clown's shoes.

Remember that your body may be a combination of a few of these categories, so keep that in mind when selecting your ideal pair of shoes. In addition, here are a few shoe rules that will help you look smart:

Keep in mind that your shoes complete your outfit

· Don't ever wear black shoes with light coloured clothing - unless they are dainty sandals. (And don't ever wear white shoes with dark coloured clothes!)
· Never wear tapered leg trousers with court shoes or boots - wear flat, chunky-soled shoes.
· Don't ever wear wedge trainers - you might think they make your legs look longer, but it's at a cost to your ankles, which will look even thicker.
· Never have a high heel on full display at the end of jeans - it will make the jeans look too short.
· Wear only flat shoes or boots with jeans.
· When wearing short, wide trousers, always wear wedge or flat shoes.

Tights are sometimes a must and sometimes a bust
· Never wear court shoes without tights.
· Never wear flesh-coloured tights with sandals - but do paint your toenails.
· Don't wear trainers with white socks unless you are at the gym or playing tennis.
· Hosiery and socks should be plain, not patterned.

Skirts have their own set of rules
· Only wear high heels with mid calf pencil skirts.
· When wearing bias-cut long skirts, only wear flats, kitten mules or boots.
· If you are top-heavy, don't highlight heftiness by wearing delicate shoes with a short skirt length.
