The natural contour of your feet is followed by round toes. "It's easy: the shoes on the right suit the contour of the foot and appear to belong there." - John Fairchild, American shoemaker Shoes with round toes are most common in women's footwear but can also be found in men's footwear. Round-toe shoes are usually more delicate than other types of shoes and often have added cushioning for comfort. They are usually created using soft leather or suede and may have plastic or rubber tips on the shoes' ends to help you avoid injury when walking on hard surfaces. The shape of our feet changes as we age because of decreased blood flow and increased bone density. This means that it's important to buy shoes that fit with a rounded toe so that they don't cause pain or discomfort when walking. Many people think that round-toe shoes look silly but if you pay attention to what styles are popular now, you'll see that many of them include some form of round toe. It's best to go into a store with an understanding of what kinds of shapes look good on you and then find shoes that match. For example, flat shoes look great with any type of toe but round-toed shoes work best with round toes.
