To keep your feet from getting tired and sore, learn to choose the right shoes. A life hacker will tell you how not to get lost in a shoe store.

– 1 –

It is better to buy shoes in the second half of the day, because in the evening your feet can swell. In hot weather, as a rule, they also increase in volume. Shoes bought in the morning can be crushing in the evening.

– 2 –

Before trying on shoes, put on the same socks that you intend to wear with them. Trying on, for example, sneakers, do not wear nylon socks.

– 3 –

If your feet are of different lengths, be guided by the size of the larger foot.

– 4 –

The distance between the big toe and the toe of the shoe should be approximately 0.5–1.5 cm.

– 5 –

Walk around the store with your shoes on. Check how stable the heel is. Make sure it doesn't press anywhere. Better not to rely on shoes to wear out or become softer in the future. This may not happen.

– 6 –

Do not rely on the description and specified shoe size. Sizes may vary slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer. Trust your feelings.

– 7 –

In order not to rub the blisters, immediately check if there are any seams, metal parts or anything else on the inside that may interfere with walking.

– 8 –

Check for slippery outsole and good cushioning in your chosen shoe.
