Tips on how to buy shoes
Having a good pair of shoes can help tie an outfit together, keep your feet safe and secure on the job site, or give you grip and traction on slippery surfaces. Choosing the right pair of shoes online has its challenges but when you know how to shop correctly, Instacart can deliver your new shoes to you or, at select stores, have them available for you to pick up curbside.
Measure your feet
When you order shoes online, it's important that you measure your feet correctly to get a comfortable fit. The size of your feet can change as you get older, so you need to know the right length and width of your feet before you make your online order. When you go to a shoe store, they use a tool called a Brannock Device to get your perfect shoe size. However, if you don't have access to a professional shoe fitter who uses the Brannock Device, you can still get an accurate measurement of your feet at home.
How to measure your feet
- Measure them at the end of the day. One of the best ways to get an accurate measurement of your feet is to do the measuring at the end of the day when the size of your foot is the largest. As you walk around and your feet warm up, they tend to swell a bit, so you want to make sure to measure them later in the day.
- Wear socks or stockings. Measure your feet with stockings for heels, pumps, and flats. Wear socks for sneakers, athletic shoes, and closed-toe comfort shoes. For hiking or running shoes, choose the type of sock you'd normally wear for the activity.
- Measure both feet. Your feet tend to be asymmetrical, so measure both feet.
- Use a piece of plain paper. Step on the piece of paper and trace the outline of your foot with a pen.
- Measure the length. Take a ruler and measure the length of the foot from the longest toe straight back to the heel. Note the measurement.
- Measure the width. Measure across the widest part of the foot which is usually across the ball of the foot. Write that measurement down.
- Use the stores' website sizing chart. Find the shoe length and width chart that the store's website provides. You should find corresponding numbers to help you know the exact length and width of your feet.
Zoom in on the shoes
Go to the store's website and choose the pair of shoes that interest you. Mouse over various parts of the shoe to look at all angles, including the sole, stitching, and toe bed. Zooming in can help give you an idea of the overall construction, styling, and materials of the shoes. Read the description carefully so you get a full understanding of the shoes.
