When you are shopping for footwear, you need to consider practicality in addition of fashion. You have to invest in good quality products to keep your feet in good shape. To help you out, the following will help you pick the perfect pair of shoes:
- Trace your feet, and place any shoe you believe will fit on top of tracing. If the shoe is short or narrow than tracing, you better leave it alone
- You have to shop during afternoon as your feet naturally expand during the day
- You better wear the same type of socks to the store that you will wear with the shoes. It may seem like a joke but wearing different socks can make a lot of difference
- Have a pro measure your feet and get it measured every time you buy a new pair of shoes. The fact is, feet size changes with your age, they grow large and wide and if one foot is bigger than the other, then you have to buy a size that fits both of them
- Before you pay for the shoes, you better stand in them. Press on the top of shoes to make sure you have half-inch of space between your longest toe and end of the shoe. This means your feet have enough room to press forward as you walk. You also have to wiggle to make sure there is enough room
- Walk around in the shoes to see how they feel. Is there enough room, or does it fit snugly? Does the shoe slip or pinch or fits perfectly. You need to take your time, don’t rush yourself. The fact is, you should never rationalize that the shoes have to broke in, and instead find the perfect fit. The only way to do that is trusting your own comfort level
