Have you ever seen the perfect pair of shoes, made just for you? You step into the shoe store, try them on, and they fit like you were born with them. But then, a few weeks later, they are either too big, too small, too wide, too tight, or simply don’t feel right. Have you had that experience?

One of the main reasons things like that happen is that a lot of people don’t really know how and when to buy shoes. Here are a few pointers that will get you walking comfortably:

Shop for your shoes in the afternoon or toward the end of the day, after you would have been walking around for a few hours. That way, your feet will be slightly larger than in the morning.

When you get to the shoe store, have the salesperson measure your feet to avoid time-wasting and confusion.  Not only is it important to know the correct size of your feet, but for some people, one foot is usually a tad bigger than the other. If this is the case, then you will need to shop for the larger foot. Also, when your feet are being measured, be sure to stand to ensure the correct size.

Your shoes should fit comfortably when you buy them. Breaking shoes in is a myth. Once you have selected the perfect pair, when you try them on, make sure they fit both your heel and toe, and that there is enough wiggle room. You should take them for a test run around the store, checking for comfort and making sure that your heel does not slip out.
