Tips: Buying shoes online

-

hen buying a pair of shoe you don’t have to head out to a shop or two and try on several pairs of shoes. You can just sit in the comfort of your home or office and place an order from any of the online retail shops. Here are what you need to know

1. Take the right measuremen­ts

Measure your feet. What You Will Need: pieces of paper, a pen and a ruler. Trace an outline of both of your feet. Use the ruler to measure the length of your foot from the longest toe (usually the big toe, but depends on the foot) to the back of your heel. Measure the width of your foot at the

widest part of the foot.

3. Compare the size

With these measuremen­ts, you can use the chart that most online shoe stores provide to determine the size of shoe to buy.

2. Keep the receipts and shipping informatio­n after the shoes arrive

This is important if you need to return the shoes in the event that it don’t match or has defect. You will need the paperwork that came with your delivery. There are often instructio­ns in the package that explain how to complete a return.

Things You Should Know Before You Measure Your Feet:

The best time to measure your feet is after a full day of walking because e walking can slightly increase ase the size of your feet.

Wear the socks or stocking you will use to wear the shoe when measuring your feet. Only y measure your feet while barefoot if you plan to wear ar shoes over your bare feet.

Remember that the difference in shoe size measuremen­ts is often as small as 1/8 of an inch, so your foot measuremen­ts will need to be equally detail-oriented to be effective.

Measure both feet. Mostt people’s feet are slightly asymmetric­al. When buyingng shoes use the measuremen­tsts from the larger foot.
