Mens Shoes - Rules for buying shoes

Most of us have an experience of buying a very attractive but ill-fitting pair of shoes. This is the reason why it's so important to take the time to do a few additional laps around the shoe section and learn how to reject any pair that rubs you in the wrong way. Yes, it's not easy to turn your back on a elegant pair of shoes, but that regret is gone by the time you leave the store. The actual pain you'll feel while wearing those shoes will get you every time.

Here are some rules for buying new pair of shoes:

- Buy the right shoes.You want a cute shoe, but it doesn’t fit and you start to convince yourself that it will stretch out. In this case you're not doing your feet any favors. If you shop carefully and deliberately, you'll discover great shoes that flatter and fit.

- Move. Walk around, wiggle your toes, flex your ankles and sit down and stand up more than a few times. Stroll on an uncarpeted surface. The only way to check how shoes will feel after you've been pounding the pavement is to try them out on a hard floor.

- Look in a full-length mirror. It's the only way to see if the proportions of the shoe complement your body. Check out your silhouette from the side and from the front.

- Wait until later in the day or two. Your feet are more swollen at the end of the day than they are first thing in the morning. You want shoes to fit your feet in their larger state.

- Think ahead. Think how you'll be wearing the shoes. Will you wear them with thick socks? If so, buy a size to accommodate that thickness; on warmer days, you can wear an insole to make up the difference.

And in the end – pair the shoes with your clothes.
