• It is advisable to try shoes on and walk for 5 – 10 minutes to test the comfort and fit of the shoes before you buy them.
• Shoes should fit when you purchase them and should not need to stretch.
• New shoes should be gradually worn in over several days.
• It is best to buy shoes in the afternoon as feet tend to swell during the day.
• Expensive shoes aren’t necessarily well fitting shoes. Don’t waste your money on expensive brand names if the footwear does not fit your foot.
