Many males I know go shoe shopping once a year to find the pair of men’s shoes that’s going to get them through the twelve months. Once that illustrious pair of shoes is found they will thrash them until they are falling apart. For men looking for an every day shoe they can wear all the time, we have provided seven useful tips below to make your shoe shopping much easier.
Tip 1 : Basketball shoes or high-tops are definitely a cool look to rock, but aren’t an everyday thing. While they make you look the part, they can actually weaken your ankle, owing to their excessive ankle support. Keep these types of shoes to an occasional wear and try selecting a show that doesn’t have ankle support for your every day wear. Trust me, your ankles will thank you in the long run.
Tip 2 : Have you ever noticed when you turn your running shoe around that is looks kind of like a footprint? Despite the shape mimicking that of your foot, it actually does not provide the required stability. Its important when selecting and everyday shoe, to pick on that isn’t too narrow in the middle of the outsole. Look for something that is wider and will provide more support.
Tip 3 : There’s nothing worse than smelly shoes, especially the kind you take off and the smell begins to linger. If you are adverse to the scent of smelly feet, like most people are, then look for an everyday shoe that breathes. A shoe that breathes is designed with perforations and will not trap unwanted moisture.
Tip 4 : When you are trying on a shoe, study the way the shoe moves. It’s a good idea to try and bend the front of the shoe upwards to see what happens. If a shoe is decent quality, only the front third of the show should bend up, while the rest of it should remain sturdy and hard to curve.
Tip 5 : Whilst you’re having a go bending your shoe, hold it at the front and back, and give it a good old twist. You may get some strange looks from nearby shoppers, but in the long run it will help you. Twisting your shoe and observing its movement and resistance helps you determine whether it is good quality. A shoe that distorts easily is not a shoe you want to wear.
Tip 6 : Another good way to test the quality of your shoe is squeezing the section know as the counter, which if you don’t know, is the back spine of the shoe. By squeezing the sides of the counter, you will be able to determine if the shoe is sturdy enough to support your foot all day. As this section of the shoe supports the hell, it’s a good test to make sure your shoe stands the test of time.
Tip 7 : It’s crucial you get your shoe sized right. Surprisingly, many people suffer throughout the day with the wrong sized shoes. This can lead on to discomfort and even foot problems. If you find some shoes you like, it’s a good idea to ensure they perfectly fit your foot. To do this, take out the insole and put if up against your foot. The correct shoe’s insole will be longer than your foot by about the measurement of your thumbnail. Make sure you don’t just test one foot and measure both, as some people can have a foot bigger than the other.
