Shoe Buying Tips

Go to a reputable shoe store with a knowledgeable staff.
Take your old shoes with you. They tell an experienced sales agent how you wear your shoes.
Take socks that you will wear with the shoes.
Shop in the afternoon; late in the day your feet are swollen, this gives you a more reliable fit.
Shoes should be 1/2 inch longer than your longest toe.,
The shoe should bend or break in the same place that your foot does.
The ball of your foot should not feel too loose or tight in the shoe.
The heel counter should fit snugly around your heel.
