High-fashion boots, hiking boots, snow boots.
No matter what type of boots you're purchasing, it's important to know what factors to consider before walking in-or out--of the store.
Many people buy boots and then, once they wear them, find they're getting blisters or experiencing painful rubbing
They just don't fit correctly. Yet in the store, they felt fine. Why?
When shopping for boots,
avoid going first thing in the morning.
Go later in the day, when your feet have already been working hard and will likely be more sensitive to boots that don't fit well.
It's essential that you
bring or wear the socks you will most likely be wearing when you use your boots. If you're not sure, or you'll be wearing different weight socks, always bring the heavier socks with you.
As long as you can walk comfortably in them, it's not a bad idea to
buy boots a little bigger than you normally would. Don't go by what size you measure; go by what feels comfortable. When you're in a temperature-controlled store, your feet will be cool and actually smaller; once you start walking outside, your feet will heat up and swell up, even in cold weather.
Never buy boots that are snug. Be sure there's enough room at the end, and on top of your toes, so they aren't rubbing against the boot.
Don't be fooled by low prices. If you find a pair of boots that is very trendy or a pair that you won't wear too often, it's fine to get a bargain and sacrifice durability and quality. But
never scrimp on comfort.
There's nothing worse than uncomfortable boots or shoes.
Think about how you will use the boots.
- If you're going to be wearing them outdoors, waterproof or water-resistant models are best.
- If you'll be doing work with heavy objects, consider steel-toe boots to protect your toes.
- If you'll be wearing the boots for long periods of time, consider those with waterproof liners that will wick sweat away so your feet stay dry, and with padded insoles so you'll be comfortable.
