Prioritize Professional Evaluation
Before purchasing shoes, it’s recommended to have a foot examination by a doctor or podiatrist to identify any deformities, swelling, or loss of sensation.
If you have a history of foot ulcers or significant deformities, custom medical shoes or insoles may be necessary.
Try Shoes in the Late Afternoon
Feet tend to swell slightly in the afternoon or evening. Trying shoes during this time ensures all-day comfort.
Measure Both Feet
Foot shape may change with age or due to diabetes. Always measure the length, width, and circumference of both feet before buying to ensure adequate space inside the shoes.
