Shoe Fitting Tips

 Have both feet measured, as you stand, every time you buy shoes.  Most    people have one larger foot. Fit to the large one.

Try on shoes in the afternoon when your feet are slightly larger.

 Do not worry about the shoe size.  Judge each shoe size by how it fits. The shoe size may be different; each brand, style and pattern fits differently.  As we age, our feet tend to flatten out and get longer, so your size will change over the years.

The longest toe should be the patients thumb width from the end of the shoe.

 The ball of your foot should fit at the widest part of the shoe. This is where the shoe is designed to flex.

 Never wear shoes that are too tight, expecting them to stretch.

Wear socks you plan to use and don’t forget to take your orthotics.
