Tips For Finding Your Perfect Size
-
Try shoes on in the late afternoon when your feet are
at
their largest due to normal swelling. -
Check that your heel fits snug with no slipping. The
midfoot
of the shoe under your arch and over the top of your foot should be snug but not tight.
You
should have enough room in the toe box to wiggle your toes. -
Choose the larger size if your feet are between sizes.
You
can adjust for a better fit with socks, insoles and lacing patterns. -
Have your feet re-measured every year. Feet typically
get
bigger with age and women’s feet often become a half size or more larger after
pregnancy. -
Be sure to try shoes on both feet. Your left and right
feet
may differ in length or width as much as a full size. Always buy shoes that fit your
larger
foot. -
Watch out for signs that your shoes are too small or
narrow:
feet cramping and falling asleep while running or the formation of calluses and blisters
in
between or on your toes. People are more than twice as likely to buy a shoe that is too
small than too big.
