Standing in front of a giant wall filled a seemingly infinite number of styles and features, finding a good pair of shoes is challenging. There are three simple guidelines to follow.

Comfort - Shoe should be comfortable when you first put the shoe on. You do not have to "break in" properly fit shoes.

Fit - Do not get stuck on size. Shoes are just like clothing — there is no industry standard for shoe sizing. The length of the shoe should be a thumb's width from the end of the longest toe (this is not always the first toe). The width of the foot should sit entirely on the base of the shoe.

Features - Be wary of the marketing gizmos and gadgets built into the shoe. Some selling features actually cause the shoe to wear out faster or unevenly, and can even cause foot pain.

Everyone should have at least one pair of good quality walking shoes that are properly fit. Come and see the Professionals in Foot Comfort for an expert fit of your next pair of quality walking shoes.
