Purchase shoes towards the end of the day, when they are the most swollen.

Always try-on both shoes and walk in the store to ensure good fit.

Wear the same type of sock you normally wear while buying shoes.

Buy shoes for the larger foot, if your feet are different sizes.

The widest part of your foot should correspond to the widest part of your shoe.

A shoe should feel comfortable in the store, they should not need to be “broken-in.”

Shop for comfort and avoid painful, trendy shoes.

A knowledgeable shoe salesperson can help keep you comfortable, and possibly save you money with a proper fit the first time.
