Before going to buy shoes, there are few factors you should put into consideration. Check out some of them:
Observe The Quality Of Materials
In this case, the quality will help the product’s durability and make all the difference in terms of the comfort it will provide on your foot. Of course, we always want to save as much as possible, but sometimes cheap can be expensive. Therefore, we emphasize the importance of paying attention to the quality of the shoes chosen.
Look for original materials and pay attention to the sole, as it must have an extra finish, so it has more resistance when using it. Know that, in addition to shoes made of leather, nubuck ones can be quite cozy, as they let your feet sweat and tend to last longer.
Pay Attention To The Toe Of The Shoe
Be wary of shoes with a very narrow front—especially if you need to spend a lot of time standing. This shape squeezes the fingers and impairs tissue oxygenation. This type of shoe can also cause nerve transmission problems by pressing on the endings. This usually causes tingling and paresthesia in the feet, in addition to causing pain for those who have bunions.
Pay Attention To The Heel Support
For better safety when walking, choosing models like Danner shoes for example in which the back has this support is essential. It doesn’t have to be precisely a heel; just one elevation is enough for the heel to have more stability and stay fit.
See The Shape Of The Foot
Thanks to the great mix that characterizes Brazilian genetics, feet can be of different shapes. Some are wider; some are narrower; some have longer fingered, others shorter—and so on. When choosing a shoe, make sure the shoe fits your foot well, without squeezing. Stand up and walk around the store wearing both shoes, as this is one of the best ways to choose comfortable models.
Test Shoes At The End Of The Day
If the purchase is not online and you can try on the shoe in person, the tip here is to take the opportunity to do this at the end of the day: this is the moment when the foot is swollen. Therefore, this is the best way to know if the size is adequate and if the model is comfortable enough to, even during this period, not cause any inconvenience.
Fix The Cost-Benefit
That’s what we talked about in the previous topic about cheap being expensive. Often, we want to save money and choose a beautiful model. However, that does not bring any comfort and is made of lower-quality materials.
At first, it might even be a good purchase since you saved. But in the long run, you’re likely to have pain and even blisters because you’ve chosen the wrong shoe. Also, shoes may not last long enough, forcing you to change and spend twice as much.
