The shoe selection technique Regarding 16 secrets for choosing shoes! 1. When trying on shoes, bring your own clean silk stockings (or nfl jerseys, if that’s a typo or specific reference). It's easier to try on and take off shoes this way (especially for boots that snugly wrap around the ankle), avoiding the embarrassment of showing sweaty, dirty feet inside the shoes. 2. If you have two feet of different sizes, remember which one is shorter or larger. Both feet should fit well while trying on shoes. Choose the size according to the slightly bigger foot. Don’t simply choose shoes based on someone else’s recommendation or buy according to their shoe size; you must personally try them on due to differences in toe shape, style, or brand/model standards, as shoe sizes can vary accordingly. 3. Feet also change with the seasons, expanding in heat and contracting in cold. So, when buying summer shoes in winter sales, the size you try on in summer may be slightly smaller. 4. The best time to choose shoes is around 3-6 PM because feet tend to swell slightly at this time. If the chosen size doesn't feel small at this time, it will likely fit comfortably during other hours of the day. Stand while fitting, as standing feet are slightly larger than sitting ones. Don’t just look in the mirror after trying on shoes and then buy; walk back and forth several steps to ensure stability and comfort. Pay attention to how the shoe fits quietly. 5. Ideal dimensions should include: ten toes freely moving inside the shoe, comfortable insoles with excess internal space; the curvature of the shoe sole matches the hollow part of the foot, with no contact between the anklebone/toe and the shoe; the forefoot should have some movement allowance. After pointing the toe, there should be enough room to insert a finger behind the heel for the right fit. The heel should stay firmly on the shoe sole without slipping. From above, the arch of the foot and shoe should align properly, confirming a snug yet comfortable fit. 6. Don’t compromise and buy improperly sized shoes just because of seasonal discounts. Shoes too small, even if worn long-term and supported greatly, can still cause endless discomfort, leading to issues like corns, blisters, painful feet and legs, and eventually back pain. 7. If you see a pair of replica branded shoes with good quality, consider purchasing them. Theoretically, there isn’t much difference between genuine and replica brands, especially if the price is significantly discounted, making it a good opportunity to choose. 8. Choose soft and elastic soles, test by bending slightly. When buying high-heeled shoes, adding a half-mat can alleviate foot pressure. Even if leather-soled shoes feel slippery at first, they improve after wearing a few times. Metal heels might look modern and eye-catching, but they are prone to damage and difficult to repair. 9. Choose colors slightly darker than your skin tone to make legs appear longer and taller. But if hesitant between multiple options, consider: Does it have shiny material decorations, bows, buckles, or colorful straps? These can make legs appear shorter. However, a clear contrast between the toe and upper shoe color makes feet appear smaller and more delicate. 10. Before impulsively buying a unique pair of shoes (like white snake-skin high heels), ask yourself: Can it find a place in your shoe cabinet? Will it match any clothes in your wardrobe? Where will you wear such extravagant shoes? Have you planned to update your wardrobe centered around these shoes? If yes—go for it! Otherwise, step away from the impulse. 11. Ankle straps already add sex appeal to the shoe but can also make feet appear longer and slimmer. If you prefer, choose straps closer to your skin tone. 12. Thick-soled shoes may seem trendy and stylish, but slight carelessness can make legs appear bulkier. Pairing them with light, airy skirts or 60s-style miniskirts can surprisingly enhance the effect. If your legs are naturally thin, you can confidently wear this type of shoe. 13. To examine shoe quality, focus not on the toe but the sides. Touch both sides to check for even thickness. 14. During pregnancy, ankles may swell slightly. Stick to thinner high heels, or choose low-heeled shoes with flexible and thick soles, opting for sizes slightly larger than usual. 15. Generally, comfortable shoe-trouser combinations include: higher heels with wider trouser legs; shorter heels with narrower trouser legs. For short or low-heeled shoes, use small clips to avoid overly narrow trouser bottoms. 16. If a shoe design constantly catches your eye, features an attractive curve, showcases the most fashionable colors, and offers reasonable pricing... You may fall in love with it at first sight. However, if the material isn’t good, consider alternatives. Within your economic means, prioritize leather uppers, smooth seamless leather linings, and leather soles. Leather ventilates well, absorbs sweat effectively, and maintains flexibility, conforming to the shape of your feet for greater comfort and less sweating. Leather soles also produce a pleasant sound.
