NO-GOS when buying shoes: 9typicalError - and how it works better
1. You shop for the wrong time
NewYou should always buy in the afternoon, not in the morning. The reason? During the day, the feet swell slightly - in length it can result in a few additional millimeters, in width even up to one centimeter more. If you buy shoes in the morning, it may be that if in doubt you buy them a little too small.
2. You only try new shoes on one foot
No one has a hundred percent identical feet. What fits on the left foot can be slightly too narrow on the right. Therefore, always try on both shoes when buying a shoe-and, if you buy in the shop, you have new shoes to be brought to the store by the store staff, not just the already extended test copies.
3. You don't wear the right socks
If you try on winter boots, you should wear thick socks, the other way around-Pumps best worn with thin nylon stockings. So you make sure that the shoes really fit under real conditions.
4. You buy too narrow shoes
Many people think they could “compensate for a too narrow shoe” if they buy it one size larger or a number smaller if they are too wide - unfortunately it doesn't work. Therefore, always pay attention to the right width when buying shoes. Many labels (from New Balance to ASICS and Clarks to Gabor) now offer shoes in various widths. Shoehouses range from f (very narrow) to M (very wide). Before buying the shoe, you should determine the width of your feet with a measuring tape. Trained staff in the store or corresponding tables in the online shop then tell you which shoe is the right one.
5. You buy shoes for occasions that never take place
The gold-colored glitter high heel had taken it to you. Perfect for a lavish summer party! It's just a shame that he now dusted in the shoe shelf in an ignorant manner. The festival never took place and the 10 cm heel is not really suitable for everyday life. Our tip: If you don't think of at least three specific occasions where you will definitely wear your dream shoes, let them stand - it's too bad about the money and of course around the shoe.
6. You can be blinded by the outside
Sure, the new shoe looks great, makes a delicate foot, the heel puts the legs perfectly in the limelight and the lacing is so casual. Nevertheless, close your eyes for a moment and feel the shoe: do the toes really have enough space? Doesn't press anything? Can you imagine wearing it for more than two hours? In any case, be honest with you.
7. You just try new shoes, but do not run in them
Of course you cannot even stroll through the pedestrian zone with the new shoes - but up and down in the shop or at homealready. This is the only way to feel how the shoe behaves on the foot when moving, whether the bale slips or the paragraph lets you stumble. And what feels bad now is guaranteed to be better in real life.
8. You only run on the carpet
In the shoe store you should always see if there is an areaRunning on which there is no carpet. Every shoe runs much more comfortably on carpet - even the one that doesn't really fit properly.
9. "They still widen"
Sure, there are stretch sprays and shoe clamps with which you can cheat to a shoe size - but you shouldn't rely on it and mostly the whole thing only works for leather shoes. Plastic and patent leather shoes are mostly inflexible and keep their size. It is therefore best to clarify directly in the shoe store, which can be expected.
