When buying shoes, it is important to check whether they fit your foot correctly, especially when it comes to luxury shoes, since you are going to make an investment in them and therefore the shoe must fit perfectly. To achieve this, there are a number of factors that we must take into account and that many of us are not aware of. Below, we will show you the most important ones.

• Shopping time:

Although it may seem like a minor detail, during the day, our feet tend to swell. This indicates that the right time to go shopping for a new pair of shoes should be at the end of the day, to ensure that the shoe fits correctly.

• Feet of different sizes:

It is interesting to note that our anatomy is not completely symmetrical, and the feet are one of those parts in which we also find differences, with one being smaller than the other. It is always better to choose the size that best fits the larger foot, since as we have said previously the foot tends to swell.

• Sock or stocking:

When you need to buy a shoe, remember to put on a sock or stocking of the same type as the one you intend to use with that shoe if you buy it. This way you will see if it really is the right size, because if you try it on with a sock that is thicker than the one you will use, your foot will slip afterwards, and if it is thinner, with a thicker sock you may notice that the shoe is too tight when you wear it.

• Move your feet:

The shoe should allow mobility of the toes, you can check this by moving your toes up and down and being aware that the shoe allows this. It is important to know that there should be a small space between the toes and the tip of the shoe, specifically there should be one centimeter between the tip and the longest toe.

• Tie your shoelaces:

For a correct fitting, the shoe must be fastened. If it is a shoe with laces, the width of the holes must be the same all the way to the top; if not, the shoe is probably not your size.

• Manipulate the shoe:

The shoe must have adequate flexibility and firmness. To check this, we must manipulate it. To see if there is excessive flexibility, the shoe can be rotated along its length. If we see that it rotates without much resistance, it has excessive flexibility. Another way to check this is by bending the front part of the shoe upwards. If its flexibility is correct, it will only bend in the toe area, while if it bends in the lace area, we can certify that the shoe is too flexible.

To check its firmness, we must press the heel pad, it should not move since this part is responsible for stabilizing and preventing the heel from moving.

• Walk:

To check if they are really suitable shoes for you, you should walk around in them, that is, lace up the shoes, stand up and walk a few metres around the shop, so you can really see if they are comfortable or not. This detail is the most important, as you should never buy shoes that cause pain in your feet when you put them on.

We hope that these tips will help you find the perfect shoe. On our website you can choose from many models the one you like best, and then you just have to try it on and check that it is the right shoe, since luxury, elegance and quality are the basis of all our shoes.
