When shopping for shoes, wear
the kind of socks you’ll actually be wearing with the shoes you are
going to buy.
When buying shoes
Choose shoes with leather
uppers. Synthetics like nylon, plastic and rubber don't allow the sweat
to escape properly which increases the chances of athlete's foot and
toenail problems.
Return policy
Before buying an item find out
about the return policy. Especially if you like to try them at home.

When buying shoes
If you buy shoes with Velcro
instead of laces, get the best quality available, otherwise stability
will be compromised.
Examine the shoe
It should have a firm
heel counter (stiff material on either side of the heel), adequate
cushioning of the insole, and a built-in arch. It should be flexible
enough to bend where the foot bends, at the ball of the foot, not in the
middle of the shoe.
