-Shopping for Walking Footwear? 1) Shop when you have plenty of time to try out the shoes and ask questions about them. 2) Take an old pair of walking shoes. The wear pattern will give your fitter clues about your gait. 3) Go to a shoe store that specializes in walking or athletic shoes, a store that has a certified pedorthist is the best. 4) A Certified Pedorthist is trained in fitting shoes for problem feet and they are the most skilled in finding shoes for your specific foot type. 5) Bring any orthotics you have to try in your new shoes. 6) Choose shoes with at least 1/2 inch of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. 7) Feel inside the shoe for lumps or rough spots that could injure your foot. 8) Have the fitter measure your foot size, even if you have had it measured recently. 9) Make sure the shoes are not too tight in the toes or too loose in the heels.

Make it part of your routine: check after you bathe or shower each day and check before you put on your socks and shoes. Use a hand-held mirror to help you see the bottoms of your feet.
