Fit
- Fit is subjective, only the wearer can determine whether shoes are comfortable.
- Size varies with style, as well as from one manufacturer to the next, despite the industries best efforts to achieve consistency.
- The toe box should allow you to wriggle your toes. The heel should fit snugly without being tight, the instep should not gape open.
- Feet generally swell with use and when hot therefore tend to be larger later in the day and in the summer.
- No two feet are the same, one foot is always bigger than the other, sometimes considerably so shoes must be fitted to the larger foot.
