It is suggested that you have each foot measured individually if you aren't quite sure what your correct shoe size is. The vast majority of people have one foot that is up to a size larger than their other foot. For the most comfortable fitting shoes, buy a size that fits the larger or longer foot.

When buying online, see if you can exchange wrong-sized shoes. This is important so you're not stuck with shoes you won't wear. See if there's a money back guarantee so you don't get stuck with something you can't even use.

Since many shoes are designed to fit a certain type of foot, know what type of arch you have before you go shoe shopping. Wet your foot, and then step onto a sheet of white paper. You'll see what arch type you have with the imprint. If you have a flat arch, then the majority of your foot print is going to be visible. If, on the other hand, your arch is considered high, you will not be able to see most of your footprint. This helps you discover the right fit.

Great shoes should feel comfortable from the first time you put them on. If you think a pair of shoes are going to have to be broken in too much, you best look for a different pair. It can hurt to break in new shoes.

Look for shoes with Velcro for younger children. This will help if your youngster cannot tie his shoes. Having shoes that tie and ones that don't will help on those especially crazy mornings.

Do not purchase painful shoes with the hopes that they will fit better after you have worn them a few times. This doesn't always work and you may end up with a pair of useless shoes. The one exception is if you have bunions or corns, for which you'll most likely need the sides stretched.

Don't think you can purchase a pair of slightly painful shoes thinking they will stretch and fit better after they have been worn a while. This usually does not work, and it can be a waste of money. Having shoes stretched out to accommodate bunions or corns is the only exception.

If you are picking up shoes for kids who are just learning to walk, choose those which are very stable. When toddlers start to walk, they require shoes that stave off injuries. Tennis shoes are the best shoes for them. Steer clear of slippery-bottom shoes that make kids prone to falls.

Everyone has to have shoes. If this is something you were struggling with, you should now find it easier to select which shoes fit you the best. The thing to do now would be to get out there and pick out some shoes with these tips in mind. nike obuv
