Are Your Shoes to Small?

Did you know most women are wearing shoes that are two sizes too small? Just because you want to wear a size seven shoe doesn't mean it is good for your feet!  Check out these tips for shoe fitting and shopping. Visit Stepalivecenter.com for more information on the benefits of wearing properly fitted shoes.

• Have your feet measured everytime you buy shoes.
• Remember, the size is just a guideline.  Fit can vary with brands and shoe style.
• Go shoe shopping in the afternoon.  This is when your feet are most swollen and you will get the best fit.
• You should be able to wiggle all of your toes in the toebox.
• If your feet are different sizes, buy for the larger foot.
• Only buy a pair of shoes if they feel comfortable; there should be no 'break-in' period.

If you are experiencing foot pain from wearing ill fitting shoes, make an appointment with your podiatrist to treat or prevent serious damage in your feet.  Call us at 419-423-1888 or visit our website, vailfoot.com to make an appointment.
