How to Shop for Shoes

Posted by Apex Foot Health on 8th Aug 2022

Warm weather is approaching and that means that it's time to shop for shoes. You want to be ready to get outside and walk around in comfort!

Shopping for shoes isn't always easy, especially online. You have so many options to choose from, so how can you make your final decision?

We're here to help. Keep reading for a few tips on how to choose the right shoes for you.

Set Your Budget

Any time that you're shopping, shoe shopping or otherwise, you need to set a budget. How much can you reasonably afford to spend on high-quality shoes?

This doesn't mean that you should always look for the cheapest shoes. You get what you pay for, and you can still get comfortable and supportive shoes at a reasonable price as long as you know where to look.

Set a maximum budget to give yourself a better starting point.

Know What You're Looking For

What do you want out of your new pair of shoes? If you don't make a list of wants and needs for your new shoes, you may end up buying a pair that you never end up wearing or that isn't comfortable.

Take measurements of your feet and make sure that you know your shoe size. All reliable online shoe stores will have a sizing chart to make it easy to get the perfect fit.

If you have a specific foot condition, keep that in mind when you're shopping. Apex has shoes for a variety of foot conditions, so you won't feel limited.

Finally, make sure that you know what style you're looking for. Comfortable shoes can be trendy and stylish while still being supportive!

Check Photos And Product Descriptions Carefully

You should always zoom in on product photos when you're trying to figure out how to choose the right shoes. In a brick-and-mortar store, you have the opportunity to hold the shoe and look at it up close. With an online store, you have to simulate that experience by closely viewing photos.

You won't be able to get a clear "view" of the shoes without reading product descriptions. Read about the shoe's features to make sure that it aligns with your needs!

Read Reviews

Online reviews are always helpful when you're shopping for shoes on the web. Good reviews mean that real people were happy with their purchases. They can also give you helpful information about how the shoes fit, the material, and more.

Remember that everyone will have a different experience, so take reviews with a grain of salt.

Try Them On

You won't be able to try shoes on before you buy them online, but because of Apex's flexible return policy, you can try them on at home and return them if you're not satisfied (but we're sure you will be).

When you're trying the shoes on, make sure that you wear the same socks that you'd normally wear. Walk around your home to see if the shoes are comfortable and supportive. Make sure that there's not too much (or too little) space around the toes.

High-quality shoes are an investment, so you want to make sure that you find the perfect pair!
