1. Toe shape is very important so if you have petite feet then a tapered toe will be just fine for you, but if you have large feet then a tapered toe shoes will force your toes into a wedge position that compromises foot health, form, and function. The best choice is to go for an oval-shaped toe or a square toe, it will keep your feet comfortable and make them look smaller.

Flats:

Flats can be easy on your feet. They can give you the freedom to move around easily, and the best thing about them is that, they can be worn with almost everything.

Foot measurement

1. Feet tend to swell during the day and are at their largest during late afternoon, keep that in mind while shopping for shoes and go late in the afternoon.

1. For most people, one foot is slightly larger than the other one. So remember to try both shoes on to see if they both fit.

1. Another major factor are SOCKS. People tend to forget that. So next time you consider buying new shoes, make sure to take a slightly larger one for your socks,or you can try the new shoes with your socks on to avoid any inconvenience.

1. Measure your feet to find your size. Measuring your own feet is not a hard task, you only need to tape a piece of paper to the floor and trace your foot with a pen or pencil perpendicular to the floor while you sit in a chair with your foot flat on the floor. Remember to measure both feet. Once you have both measurements, subtract 3/16 of an inch from both measurements to account for the space between your foot and the pencil mark.
