How to Select the Best Walking Shoe?

A general rule of thumb to find the suitable walking shoes is not to go for fancy looking shoes, but shoes which fit you comfortably and properly. Here are the tips that you should remember while buying these shoes.

• First of all avoid shopping online for shoes, as you will never be able to try them on before buying them. However, if you really can't find a particular pair of shoe in stores, then you can consider buying it online.
• Always go to a shoe store at the later part of the day, as feet tend to expand a little.
• Carry the same pair of socks, which you use with your old shoes for walking exercise. Try on the new pair of shoes while wearing the same old pair of socks.
• You can ask the salesperson at the store to measure both your feet and then buy the right size of shoe. You can also measure your feet at home, or ask a friend to help you. While measuring you foot size stand up, to get the most accurate measurement.
• If your one foot is slightly larger than the other foot, then try on pair of shoes which are of the larger foot size.
• Visit the store which has plenty of shoes, so that you have more choices. Or you can visit an athletic shoe store, which has professional fitters.
• It is important that you select shoes which have half an inch space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, which is approximately the width of your finger. To check this out try on both shoes, and then wiggle your toes.
• The right shoe pair will fit snugly and not tightly on side-to-side. If you are a woman with wide feet, then consider buying men's or boy's shoes, as these shoes are a bit larger through the heel and the ball of the foot.
• After you like a pair, walk a bit in the store, before you make your final decision of buying them. The shoes should feel comfortable right away. Ensure your heels fit snugly in the shoes and don't slip as you walk.
