Handy tips
Feet Size If you've 1 foot bigger than the other (very common), your shoe must always fit the bigger foot. Our feet size changes as we grow older.
Timing Shoe fitting is best done late in the afternoon or in the evening when your foot is at it's largest.
Shoe Size Different shoe manufacturers vary their shoe sizes, so try them on before buying & don't be tempted to grab that last pair on the shelf that is not your size.
Shoe Style Refrain from buying shoes that are very pointed or narrow at the front, it could force not just the toes but the whole foot to ache terribly.
Right Fit Wear shoes that fit nicely onto your foot. Make sure there is a gap infront of your toes, wide enough for your toes to wriggle. Your heel must rest securely on the shoe heel. A good pair of shoes must give support & offer comfort to your feet.

Running-must offer good support & cushioning. Walking shoes are not meant for running.
Hiking-wear hiking shoes when you're going hiking. Choose light-weight type for non-treacherous route. Put on a pair of socks that you would usually wear before trying on any of the shoes.
