It’s shopping season and stores across the country eagerly await you. There are sales galore and lots of shopping to do. We have 5 quick tips to keep your tootsies happy as you shop and after you get back home safe. So before you leave the house, grab your mask, make your social distancing plan and check out these easy tips!
- Leave the ‘glam’ at home, shop in walking shoes. Trudging through the malls, walking for hours on hardwood or cement floors in high heels will make you and your feet cry. In addition, the check-out lines will be longer due to social distancing. Start out on the right foot, wear walking shoes. Keep a spare pair in your car during this busy shopping season in case you need to spring into action.
2. Shoe shopping in the afternoon or evening hours helps ensure you’ll get a more accurate fit. As we go throughout our day attending to our daily activities, our feet swell a bit. This is the perfect time to purchase shoes. This way, your shoes will fit in the morning and in the evening.
3. No matter how good the sale is, if the shoes hurt, don’t buy them. Love your feet more than the shoes. Enough said.
4. Try both shoes on, every time, before you purchase them. You’re in a rush, the shoes are adorable, you’ve found your size, and they’re on sale. You can’t miss, right? Wrong. It’s normal for one foot to be larger than the other. Some shoes run small, and some run large. You won’t know if these are the perfect shoes for you until you try both shoes on and walk around in them.
5. If you have to guess at sizes, know the store return policy. Buying shoes as gifts can be tricky so make sure you know the return policy. Does the store accept returns? Will the store return your money or will they only give you a store credit? Knowing this will help you determine if you want to make that purchase.
Take good care of your tootsies, they have to last you a lifetime!
