Shoe Fitting Tip
- Try shoes on at the end of the day
- Try the shoes on with the thickest socks you might wear with
those shoes.
- Measurements should be taken while you are standing
- Have both feet measured. Most people have one larger foot. Fit
to the large one
- The longest toe should be a finger's breadth from the end of the
toe box
- The counter around the heel should be reasonably snug
- The forefoot should not be crowded
- Foot should not budge over the sole
- Don't worry about the stated "size" of the shoe. Worry about the
"fit." It doesn't matter that you wore a size 5 when you were 22 and
the clerk is telling you to try a size 9. Only Cinderella always
wears the same size shoe. Your foot size will change as you grow
older. Also, sizes vary between brands.
- Don't buy a shoe if it feels too tight. It will NOT stretch to
fit your foot.
