General shoe information & footwear fitting tips.

There are four phases to consider when fitting shoes. Good shoe sizing is far more complex than most people think. The first step is referred to as the static fit. This just means the customer is seated. In this position your foot does not change shape or proportions. Some shoe people assume they are done at this point. Your feet should be measured in a standing position. When considering functional fit we consider the use of the footwear. Is the person going to be running, for example, we make the proper adjustments to the final fit of the footwear. Foot swelling or thermal fit is the closing step to consider for a proper fit. Over the course of the day our feet will spread out about 5%. If you are running, playing tennis or doing some extensive walking your feet can grow up to 8% or one full size. When sizing footwear do not overlook this factor, always leave room to allow for foot growth.

You measure your feet to establish the foot length and therefore the corresponding footwear size. Finding the exact length gives you an indication of your foot length and correct footwear size. Since there are lots of variables in the way shoes and boots fit an good shoe fitter can be critical. Your true shoe size will be decided by the style and use of the footwear you buy. Heel height also plays a part in the measurement . In a lower heeled shoe there will be a small amount of foot extension. However, in a higher heel shoes there is smaller if any foot extension. There is no exact rule than can settle on what size footwear you should buy. Your actual shoe size will be decided by design, planned purpose and the last of the footwear. Some styles will offer a great deal more toe box room than others. Again, find an knowledgeable shoe fitter to assist you in determining what size you should buy. One thing to take into account is never buy shoes designed for sporting activities to small.

While ordering shoes online make sure you are getting the correct width. Width is every bit as important as finding the proper length. Your boots and shoes will be more comfortable and will continue looking new longer if you are wearing the right width. A shoe that is to narrow can be very uncomfortable. Often very little consideration is given to the proper width in Men's, women's or children's shoes. We tend to concentrate more on making sure our shoes are not too short while forgetting about the width. Your shoes will wear best and look better for the life of the footwear if they are the proper width. Boots and shoes do not automatically stretch very much. You will enjoy your shoes for a longer time and with more comfort when you have the proper fit.
