Take the proper steps for shoe shopping
NEW YORK (AP) -- Not all shoes are created equal, which means each pair needs to be properly tested before purchase.
Naot Footwear, which makes shoes for women, men and children, suggests going through the following steps:
UMeasure both feet. Foot size can change over the course of a week or a lifetime; also, most people have one foot that's slightly larger than the other.
ULook for a full toe box. The toe box is the front enclosure of the shoe. When trying shoes on, your toes should have enough room to spread out and they shouldn't rub against the front of the shoe.
ULook for breathable materials. Natural leathers and certain better synthetic liners allow the foot to generate aeration.
UGo for a walk. Take at least 10 steps back and forth on the fitting room floor.
