Your shoes are probably the most important clothing item to determine comfort, so a little extra time when buying can be well worth the effort. Have your feet measured by a salesperson.
Many people jump ahead to trying on the shoes without checking the length and width of each foot.
It is important to know if your feet are different sizes. Shop for the larger foot. If your feet are different sizes, buy a shoe that best fits the larger foot. If you need, buy an insole to fill space in the other shoe. Make sure the shoe fits your heel and your toes.
