Step 1
Check the size of your feet regularly. Our feet change as we age.
-
Step 2
Take separate measurements for each foot. Each foot size is different.
-
Step 3
Try on shoes at the end of the day, when feet are typically largest.
-
Step 4
Always try on shoes and avoid relying on the size indicated. Companies manufacture sizes differently.
-
Step 5
Be sure to stand and walk when trying on shoes, and allow for approximately 1/2 inch of space for the longest toe of each foot.
-
Step 6
Be sure your heels fit comfortably and slip only slightly.
-
Step 7
Select shoes that conform to your feet.

on 4/27/2007 This is a great "how to" because most people forget that one foot is slightly bigger than the other. So to add to step 4: make sure to try on a shoe on the larger foot.

on 11/22/2005 If you have to buy longer shoes due to width, using a product called "shoe stretch" can help. Pick a day you can stay home, follow directions on the product, and wear the shoes around the house for the day. Add more stretch as needed.
