Shoe Sizes
One size may fit all when it comes to
muu-muus and toupees, but for shoes,
that is the exact wrong approach.
There is nothing more important when
picking out a shoe than to choose
the right size for your foot. Why
does size matter? (And yes, it does
matter.) We're glad you asked. Size
matters because besides being very
uncomfortable, wearing the wrong
size can cause serious damage to
your feet.
Think you
know the right size of your foot?
You may be correct, but you would be
in the minority. Only about 15
percent of Americans are wearing the
right size shoe. The rest probably
think they've got it right, but they
just don't know any better. Maybe
you were measured once years ago,
but your foot might have
changed--most do. The pressure of
walking, weight gains and losses,
even age can make a foot grow or
shrink. The bottom line--get your
feet measured before you buy a pair
of shoes.
