Top tips for buying shoes
Determine what your shoes are going to be used for. Specialist shoes for a specialist job or fashion shoes just to make you feel and look good. Work boots for protection. Office shoes keep you comfortable throughout the day and hiking boots are a must for your Sunday walks. Slippers to keep you snug at bedtime and tennis shoes for winning Wimbledon! Waterproof, comfortable, supportive or protection, decide what you want your new shoes to do. Some ecco shoes are really comfortable and can be a good all round shoe to take on a weekend away or holiday.
Decide which style of shoes you want. Cool open toed shoes, lined boots to keep you warm or glitzy dress shoes. You will be somewhat governed by the function you need your shoes to fulfill, but some shoes are versatile and can be multi functional. Some sandals can also double as slippers or evening shoes. Some trainers may be used as running shoes or as tennis shoes; you’ll need to check with the manufacturer to find out if they will be suitable for multiple tasks. Some boot shoes will keep you warm as well as looking fashionable with your newest outfit.
Do your new shoes have to accessorise with anything in your wardrobe? Or is it the start of a season and you are restocking your wardrobe with new gear? If you have some clothes from last season then take colours and styles into account when you are looking for your new shoes.
Decide what price you want to pay. Once you’ve set your budget have a look online and see if the amount you’ve allocated is a realistic amount. Shoe prices range massively from company to company and also from supplier to supplier. Check out the sales online or any discount offers the online shoe shops are giving.
Do you need them in a hurry? Check the shoes you choose are in stock in your online store and make sure the delivery times are going to suit your schedule. Sometimes it’s worth paying a little bit extra for a weekend delivery or next day delivery to make sure you don’t miss the post.
Lastly make sure they fit! If there are any tips on sizing for your shoes on the online shop then check them out and pay attention. If the website states the shoes come in small fittings no amount of wishful thinking is going to make those shoes fit a wide foot! Happy shopping!

Hiking! $3.48 Distributed by Westcliffe Publishers for the first time, this introspective and intelligently written book explores the "why" of hiking, rather than the "how", underscoring its profound effect on health and well-being.
