Here are some tips to help ensure your shoes fit correctly.
- Are you in pain? Pain is the most obvious signal that your shoes are ill-fitting.
- Is there enough space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe? Look for around 1.5 centimetres of space ideally.
- Have you tested a range of surfaces? Check how your shoes move with your feet when walking on different surfaces.
- Have you looked at the widest part of the shoe? This should match where the ball of your foot sits.
- Have you had your feet measured by a professional? Ideally have your feet measured before buying shoes.
These Include:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Bunions
- Blisters
- Metatarsalgia
- Corns and calluses
Podiatrists are able to assess whether your current shoes fit correctly and make recommendations if not. Ask to be professionally measured and fitted before buying any shoes.
