No fashion tips here just some reminders on choosing a shoe that properly fits you. Technology has also advanced significantly over the years and more and more shoe manufacturers are considering health issues when designing shoes. Still, finding one that comfortably fits can be a challenge. Here are some tips to help you find a comfortable fitting shoe.

Buy shoes in the afternoon towards the day’s end. Your feet have expanded through activity by this time therefore will be in their largest. Allow a minimum of a half-inch distance from the tip of your big toe to the front of the shoe.

In any case, remember that shoe sizes, just like diamonds, aren’tforever. They do tend to get bigger with age. It’d probably be wise to have your feet measured when you buy.

Your left foot and your right will have varying measurements, so it’s better to choose a size that can accommodate both the longer one and the wider one.

A slight heel gives added arch support for your feet. However, however sexy they may look, avoid heels of more than two inches in length. Wearing and standing on very high heels puts much pressure on the balls of your feet, even on your hips and back. If it’s possible alternate between heels and flats during the day.

Comfort in the instep area is your primary concern. A wide toe, squarish shoe is your best bet for comfort since your feet have enough space to spread.

Depending on your foot type, you may want to explore shoes with different support types. If they don’t have proper support, shoe inserts can be used to adjust your shoe’s fit.

Walk around while fitting your shoe. Try it on different surfaces. If you tend to slip using the shoe, then find one with a higher grip sole. A shoe isn’t good if you can’t stay on your feet with it.
