Shoe Fitting Tips
A good time to get measurements is at the end of the day when your feet have swollen and settled some. This will help with comfort throughout the day.
Most people have one foot that is larger than the other, so make sure you have both feet measured. Fit your shoes to the larger foot.
The ball of your foot should fit comfortably in the widest part of the shoe.
Your heel should not slip or slide while walking.
