Need new shoes? With these tips your shoes will fit perfectly!

Are you ready for new shoes? It can sometimes be quite a search to choose good shoes. In the search for the perfect shoes, there are certain points to pay attention to. This is how you choose a shoe that fits comfortably.

Comfortable shoes

The best tip we can give you: choose comfortable shoes. One shoe is a lot more comfortable than the other shoe. The perfect example of a shoe that fits comfortably? Those are sneakers ladies! Sneakers are quite soft, fit well and offer sufficient support. And the biggest advantage: you hardly have to break them in. That of course causes blisters. Furthermore, what comfort looks like differs per person. For example, some people may find a sturdy lace-up boot comfortable, while others may find it too tight. So it is also a matter of finding out!

Just try on

That brings us to the second tip: try on many different types of shoes. This way you know what you like or don’t like. Do you want the shoe to fit closely for ideal support? Or do you prefer shoes that fit a little looser, such as ballerinas? Even with loafers you have a little more room to move in the shoe. Loafers for women are currently a very popular choice. And that’s not surprising, because you can walk around all day in these shoes without any problems.

Breaking in shoes

Leather shoes in particular need to be broken in. It may take a while until the shoes fit perfectly. Leather can be stiff: breaking it in makes the material more flexible. Leather also expands a bit, so you get more space in the shoe. You can wear extra sturdy socks or preventive blister plasters when breaking in the shoe. And don’t wear the shoe all day, but start with an hour or a few hours. You gradually build on this a little further – until the shoe fits like a glove!

Perfect shoe size

The shoe size is of course very important for new shoes. Yet we are not always critical of this. It is smart to know your exact shoe size: you can measure this yourself at home or in a shoe store. You may be a half size, which may explain why your shoes are often tight. When trying on a shoe, always feel the front. Is there still some space between your big toe and the front of the shoe, without you sliding back and forth too much when walking? Then the shoe is perfectly tailored.

Width of the foot

The width of the foot also counts. If you have wider feet, it is better to avoid very narrow shoes. Such a shoe is simply too tight: for example, the shoe pinches the toes or foot. And those who have narrow feet will walk less well in chunky, wider shoes. In that case, such a shoe is too loose, causing the foot to slide back and forth considerably. That can cause blisters.

Right support

Finally: pay attention to the support of the shoe. This is especially important if you are going to walk on it a lot. After all, you want your heel, for example, to be well protected. It is certainly not necessary to wear walking shoes if you are looking for support. This is also fine with many sneakers or leather shoes. The shoe must fit well, including at the heel. Does it feel sturdy? Then you’re in the right place.
