How Do I Make Sure the Shoe Fits? [ Feet Tips]

How Do I Make Sure the Shoe Fits?

Tips for happy feet

  • Allow adequate time to try on several pairs of shoes.
  • Put on both shoes and walk around the area for several minutes to assess comfort.
  • Wear the same type of socks that are worn when you are walking.
  • Shop later in the day, as feet tend to get slightly larger as the day progresses.
  • Bring orthotics (specially designed inserts for your shoes) if you wear them.
  • Check for at least 0.25 to 0.5 inch of space between yourlongesltoe and the end of the shoe.
  • The forefoot area of the shoe should be  comfortably snug but not so tight that lour foot feels squeezed from the sides, . and not so loose that your foot can slide forward in the shoe.
  • Ask a salesperson if you need a shoe in other widths. Shoes come in widths from A to 4E. Width B is the typical width for men.
  • Your heel should not slip up and down or rub excessively in the heel cup or back of the shoe.

Above all else, your shoes should feel comfortable right away and should not need to be "broken in."
