shoe shopping tips

Shopping for shoes?

For healthier and more comfortable feet, try these shoe-shopping tips:

1. Don't buy shoes with pointed toes or high heels. You'll spare yourself cramped toes and back pain.

2. Select laced shoes. Laced shoes generally offer more room and adjustable support. 3. Choose shoes made of soft leather. Good choices include calfskin or suede.

4. Shop for shoes in the early afternoon. Your feet may swell as the day goes on.

5. Have your feet measured. Shoe size can change as you age or gain weight.
