Our normal destination when we need to have a new pair of shoes for any occasion is to go to shoe stores in department stores or malls. However, it is advisable to go to a store with staff which performs the fitting and have the basic knowledge of the shoes they are selling. These store clerks can be quite helpful finding what you need, just give them an idea of the kind of shoes you are looking for and for what occasion. Shoes are sold in different shoe sizes which are actually universal. Different countries have different interpretation of the sizes and so it is important that the shoe clerk knows and is aware of these differences.   You can go to this website for more info.

It is very important to wear shoes with the right shoe size like the foot length and width for a comfortable fit. If you notice, your shoe size does not necessarily hold true in your entire adult life. The design of the shoes also could affect the size of your shoes. When a person has swelling, progressive foot conditions like bunions and general body girth, you will notice an increase or decrease of the person's shoe size. It is suggested that the measuring and fitting of your shoes is preferably done at the end of the day when your feet is at their greatest size. It does not always follow to buy shoes with size less or more than your present feet size because this could cause rubbing or irritating the sides of your feet. Again, the shoe clerk should be able to assist in this regard.

​

If you have to fit the shoes yourself, your first test is to ensure that you have the proper shoe length. Generally, this is done by making sure that there is a thumb space between the end and your big toe and the tip of the shoe. If the measurement is more or less from this measurement, then it would indicate a longer or shorter shoe.

​

Never underestimate the feeling of comfort when fitting the shoes. It may fit well and size is correct, but your main test is the comfort when wearing the shoes. There is what we term as "break the shoe" until it is the right fit, however, this is not really an advisable way to ensure comfort when wearing the shoes.
