Buying the Right Shoes

Not all shoes are harmful. The best shoes are those with little or no support, such as moccasins, sandals, flat sneakers, and running shoes with thin and hard rather than soft soles. The correct shoe should feel almost perfect, whether it’s a running, cycling, or other sports shoe. This also applies to shoes you may wear much of the day, or even just on special occasions, from casual work shoes to a black-tie affair. The right shoes should wear well, keep their shape over time, tread safely, allow for sufficient foot freedom, minimally distort the foot, if at all, and hold together for years. These characteristics depend on the quality of materials, the manufacturing process, including how the shoe was put together, and how well each shoe matches the structure of your foot. In general, the best shoes are those that are flattest, and ones made specifically for your feet. Unfortunately, most people buy off-the-shelf shoes so it’s very important to follow strict guidelines for optimal fit.

Considering that your feet are probably two different sizes, shoe-size numbers (for example size 10 or size 7) have no real meaning, and most companies don’t have consistent sizes, which makes finding the optimal shoe a difficult challenge. However, there are a number of things you can do to eliminate common dangers and find the best match for your feet. The most important factor is fit.
