We all love shopping and it's very essential part of our life also. But when it's for shoes then it's little bit tricky because the shoe which is best for our friend not necessarily best suited to our feet. We have to be very careful when going to shop for it. If we buy too small or too big it will not be comfortable to our feet. So we have to follow some instructions while going to shop for the shoes.
Following are the tips which should be kept in mind while going to shop for the shoes:
Always prefer evening time for shopping. There is a reason behind it, human feet swell up a bit as the day goes on and increases to its actual size. So it will help you out to find the actual size of shoes to your feet.
It is a fact that our feet are not exactly the same size as one another. So buy the size of your large foot. The reason is that the shoe for the smaller foot can be repaired to make it as comfortable as the other one but smaller shoe can't be repaired to make it large and comfortable.
Buy shoes with modest heel. Don't go for totally flat or too high heeled. Little heel up to inch will give more arch support to your feet. And the heels more than 2 inches can cause you to lose your balance or twist your ankle and can also make you feel pains and strains at back also.
Take the shoes and walk a little to find out whether it is comfortable to your feet or not. If you don't feel comfortable then don't buy that shoe. The toe area should be comfortable and allows your toes to move a little bit. Upper part should have flexibility which bends while moving your feet. Overall the shoes must give your feet the total comfort.
Ask yourself how often and for what purpose you need the shoes. Decide whether you are looking for them for official purpose or for special occasions or for fun. If your job requires you to stand for a long periods of time, or if you do lots of walking, then go for comfortable or lower heel but if you are buying it for party then you can go for fashion or little high heel shoes.
Take a proper measurement of your both feet. If you face any problem in that then have your feet professionally measured by a salesperson in the store. Don't think that once you measured the size it would not change. It has been a myth amongst people that the size of our feet doesn't change after reaching a particular age. But it is not true at all. Age, weight gain or loss and pregnancy may affect the size of our feet.
Don't think it's a great idea to buy little tight shoes because they will not soften and loosen up over the period of time. I f they are painful to your feet at the store, they will not be comfortable to you at you home or office.
I hope these tips will be helpful to you in buying the perfect shoes for your feet.
