Womens Shoes - Rules for buying shoes

Learn how to buy the right shoe and how to wear it.

Most of us have an experience of buying a very cute but ill-fitting pair of shoes, which makes marks on our heels. This is the reason why it's so important to take the time to do a few extra laps around the shoe department and learn how to decline any pair that rubs you the wrong way. Yes, it's not easy to turn your back on a gorgeous pair of shoes, but that regret is gone by the time you leave the store. The actual pain you'll feel while wearing those shoes will get you every time.Here are some rules for buying new pair of shoes :

Learn how to choose the right size.
A size 7 in one shoe may be an 8 in another. Don't be afraid to go up or down a size. If you are lucky enough to find shoes that come in different widths, remember that width contributes to fit. For example, try the 7B versus the 7 l/2A.

Buy the right shoes.
You want a cute shoe, but it doesn’t fit and you start to convince yourself that it will stretch out. In this case you're not doing your feet any favors. If you shop carefully and deliberately, you'll discover great shoes that flatter and fit.

Wait until later in the day or two.
Your feet are more swollen at the end of the day than they are first thing in the morning. You want shoes to fit your feet in their larger state.

Move.
Walk around, wiggle your toes, flex your ankles and sit down and stand up several times. Walk on an uncarpeted surface. The only way to test how shoes will feel after you've been pounding the pavement is to try them out on a hard floor.

Look in a full-length mirror.
It's the only way to see if the proportions of the shoe complement your body. Check out your silhouette from the side and from the front.

Think ahead.
Consider how you'll be wearing the shoes. If you wear an insert, you may need a larger size. The same applies to boots: Will you wear them with thick socks? If so, buy a size to accommodate that thickness; on warmer days, you can wear an insole to make up the difference.

And in the end – pair the shoes with your clothes.
