More Shoe Buying Tips

• Shop at the end of the day. That's when your feet are largest.


• Wear your walking socks. Avoid cotton socks if you can; sweat + friction can cause blisters. Read more at: http://walking.about.com/od/socks/a/socks022006.htm


• Buy big enough shoes. Your feet swell when you walk, and they need room as they go through the walking motion. You need at least a finger's width beyond the end of your longest toe (usually your big toe).


• Spend some time in the shoes you are trying on. Take a few laps around the store to make sure the shoes feel great.
