Fit & Comfort Tips
Start with the Shape
Consider the toe shape, width, and overall silhouette. The shoe should suit your foot, not just your outfit.
Check the Toe Room
Make sure your toes have space to move without pressing against the front or sides.
Check the Closure
For styles with straps or buckles, make sure the shoe feels secure without creating pressure.
Notice the Details
Check that raised embellishments, stitching, or decorative elements do not rub against your feet.
Feel the Footbed
Notice how the shoe feels beneath your heel and forefoot. Cushioning and support can differ between styles.
Walk Before You Decide
Take a few steps and pay attention to heel movement, pressure points, and how the shoe bends with your stride.
