Mind The Gap - Also When Shopping Shoes!

When buying new shoes, there should be a gap (toe space) of approximately 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch (1,25 cm to 2 cm) between your longest toe and the shoe tip (end of the shoe). Do not allow toe space less than 1/4 inches (0,6 cm). You should always be able to wiggle your toes (all of them!)

Try Shoes On In The Evening

Be aware of the fact that the feet swell during the day. Therefore, you should always try on new shoes in the evening/ late afternoon. Many women also notice that their feet swell a bit during their menstrual period and a few days prior to their period. If this applies to you, those days are ideal for trying new shoes (to make sure the shoes will fit next time your feet swell during the period.)

Start With Your Larger Foot

Start trying shoes with your larger foot (then you don't need to try both shoes if the first one doesn't fit). The larger foot is usually the opposite from the hand you write with. I.e. for right-handed persons, the left foot will usually be the larger.

Always "Test-walk" The Shoes

Always try to walk with the new shoes on in store, then you will get a better impression of their size and fit.

Avoid Heel Slippage

Does the heel slip when you walk? Do not buy the shoes - they will cause you pain!

Wear Socks When Trying Shoes On!

Always try shoes with the same type of socks that you intend to use in the shoes. Try winter shoes with thicker winter socks, and summer shoes with thin summer socks.

Never Accept "Almost Right Sized Shoes"!

Is the size you are looking for out of stock? Never buy a "slightly to small size", just to hope the pair of shoes will fit after a "breaking in period". It will simply not happen!
