Finding The Shoes That Are Just Right For You

By: Teegan Bogut

It has happened to us all at one time or another. We go into a shoe store and pick out a pair of shoes that we absolutely love and who seem to love us. While in the store, they fit perfectly. The next day when you break them out to go jogging, they are too tight and cramp your feet up! Be honest... this has probably happened more than once, hasn't it?

How could something like this happen? How is it that shoes can fit so well in the store, but once we take them home they magically turn into a size too small? There are a few things that can cause this shoe fiasco. There are precautions you can take when searching for shoes that will allow you to purchase shoes that fit both in the store and at home.

Running shoes and those used for walking or athletic purposes do not fit the same as the everyday shoes we wear into work and around town. It is common for these kinds of footwear to be half to and entire size larger than our normal shoes. If a shoe feels too snug in the store, do not be fooled by the attendant into thinking that they will "stretch". If it does not fit perfectly in the store, do not take it home.

Trying on shoes involves walking around the soft carpet in the shoe store? This is not an accurate representation of actual walking situations. Therefore, it is hard to make a good decision about the shoe fit. You need to try the shoes on the surfaces you will walk on. For instance, let's say that you are going to run in the street then you should test the shoes in the street. If the shoe store won't let you try on the shoes in other areas or surfaces then go to another store that is more accomodating.

The toes and heel are critical. Your toes should fit inside the shoes snugly, but they should not be jammed up inside. As for the heel, you do not want it sliding about inside the shoe as this can lead to injury.

A successful method for finding the right shoes is to bring old shoes with you. You don't need to bring your comfy shoes, but instead bring shoes that didn't fit quite right. This allows the sales person to steer you away from the wrong shoes.

Did you know that your feet grow by the afternoon? The pressure of walking, standing, and just being awake cause your feet to expand up to a half size larger then your normal shoe size. It is a good idea to shop in the afternoon when your feet are swollen.

Avoid the hassle of paying hard earned money for shoes that don't fit, by following these tips. Engaging in these tips when buying your shoes will improve your odds of finding shoes that are a perfect fit at the shoe store and at home. Shoes that don't fit will become a thing of the past.
