- The best time to try on shoes is usually at the end of the day, when your feet are most swollen.
- If one of your feet is considerably larger than the other, an insole can be added to the shoe on the smaller foot.
- The size of the feet changes as you grow older so always have your feet measured before buying shoes.
- Most of us have one foot that is larger than the other. Ask the salesperson on measure the length and width of your feet.
- During the fitting process, stand up and walk around with your shoes on. Allow 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch at the end of the longest toe.
- Select shoes that conform as closely as possible to the shape of your feet.
- Don't buy shoes that are tight and expect them to stretch. With time, a shoe may stretch to fit, but this can cause harm to the feet.
- Shoes should be fitted carefully to your heel as well as your toes. Check to make sure your heel has a minimum amount of slipping.
