By Stavros Georgiadis


Most people need to wear shoes on a regular basis. Therefore, it is worthwhile to learn what sorts of shoes suit you best. The following tips will help you find comfortable shoes and make informed decisions when you shop for shoes.

Do not wear your sneakers without socks. This can end up harming the foot, since there will be friction against the shoe. In addition, you could experience foot fungus. For best results, sprinkle foot powder in your shoe and wear cotton socks.

Always opt for shoes that give you the most comfort. You need your feet to stay in great condition, and your shoes play a big part. If shoes do not feel right or your feet start hurting, you can damage your feet. This may cause issues in the future, so make sure shoes feel good and fit properly.

Do not believe the theory about breaking in. Many footwear sales people tell you that you need to break in an uncomfortable pair of shoes. It usually doesn't work out this way. In fact, a good pair of shoes will be comfortable from the onset. If the pair you are trying do not feel right, do not buy them even if they look great.

Buy a pair of solid athletic shoes. If you do any type of exercises, you should wear shoes that are designed for that purpose. They will give your feet the proper support. Your feet won't be supported properly by shoes not designed for this purpose.

Shoes will not normally break in as you wear them. They should fit well the first time you try them on. Otherwise, they may not stretch out. They may just end up damaging your feet instead.

Walk in your shoes before you make a purchase. Walk around the store to ensure proper fit during exercise. You should notice rubbing, if it is there. This can save money in the long run, and you will not regret buying shoes that do not fit well.

Before you buy a pair of shoes, walk in them. You should walk around the store and sit down to make sure the shoes fit properly. You will quickly notice if they rub anywhere. This can keep you from buying an ill fitting pair of shoes.

Make sure to get shoes that have room to grow when buying shoes for little kids. Allow a little over a thumbs width from the end of your child's big toe to the end of the shoe. That way, there will be room for the foot to grow without the shoe being too large. A salesman can help, too.

Do you think your painful shoes will stretch out? A lot of the time this isn't going to work out so well and you'll basically be stuck with a pair you cannot use. The one exception is if you have bunions or corns, for which you'll most likely need the sides stretched. Everyone has to have shoes. When you wear shoes, you should be wearing the best shoes for your feet. You should apply the tips you read in this article to make sure you select the right shoes.
