| 1. |
Sizes vary
among shoe brands and styles. Don't select shoes by the size marked inside
the shoe. Judge the shoe by how it fits on your foot. |
| 2. |
Select
a shoe that conforms as nearly as possible to the shape of your foot. |
| 3. |
Have your
feet measured regularly. The size of your feet changes as you grow older.
|
| 4. |
Have
BOTH feet measured. Most people have one foot larger than the other. Fit
to the largest foot. |
| 5. |
Fit
at the end of the day when your feet are largest |
| 6. |
Stand
during the fitting process and check that there is adequate space (3/8"
to 1/2") for your longest toe at the end of each shoe. |
| 7. |
Make sure
the ball of your foot fits snugly into the widest part (ball pocket) of
the shoe. |
| 8. |
Don't
purchase shoes that feel too tight, expecting them to "stretch"
to fit. |
| 9. |
Your heel
should fit comfortably in the shoe with a minimum amount of slippage. |
| 10. |
Walk
in the shoe to make sure it fits and feels right! (Fashionable shoes CAN
be comfortable!) |
