Fit & toe space 🧭

Proper fit and adequate toe space are crucial for comfort and foot health. A shoe's toe box should allow for natural toe movement, preventing any crowding that could lead to discomfort. Ideally, there should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe, which is essential for daily comfort.

Choosing shoes with a wide toe box can help reduce the risk of bunions, hammertoes, and ingrown toenails. Remember, your feet swell throughout the day, so it's best to shop for shoes in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest. It's also wise to measure both feet, as they often differ in size, ensuring your shoes fit well.

• Look for a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the shoe front.
• Opt for a wide toe box to prevent common foot issues.
• Shop for shoes in the afternoon when your feet are more swollen.
• Measure both feet to find the best fit.
• Ensure your toes can wiggle freely without restriction.
• Avoid pointed or narrow toe boxes that compress your toes.

Support & cushioning ✨

Having the right amount of support and cushioning is vital for maintaining proper foot alignment and comfort. Arch support can help maintain the natural curve of your foot, preventing issues related to overpronation or supination. Additionally, heel cushioning absorbs impact during walking, reducing stress on your joints and contributing to overall foot health.

Consider insoles with memory foam or gel, as they can offer customized comfort for pressure points. A firm heel counter also plays a significant role, preventing excessive movement of the foot and providing stability.

• Ensure your shoes offer adequate arch support for natural foot alignment.
• Look for heel cushioning to absorb impact and protect your joints.
• Choose shoes with midsole support for even weight distribution.
• Consider memory foam or gel insoles for personalized comfort.
