Q:When is the best time to try on shoes? A:Your feet may swell or change shape after being on them for a few hours. The best time to try on shoes is a few hours into your typical daytime activities, but not when you are fatigued or sore. Keep in mind that your feet change with the weather as well. They may be swollen in the summer and much thinner in the cold. So remember this when choosing socks and make sure you have both feet measured. Q:How often should I replace my shoes? A:This depends on how often you wear them. Rotating your shoes with another pair will increase the life of your footwear, but shoes do wear out. Six to Eight months of hard wear is not uncommon for many shoes. When you begin to feel like your shoes are not giving you the support they once did, it's time to replace them. Q:I have a very hard time finding shoes that fit, how can you help? A:Although we have many types of shoes and sizes available, all feet are unique. That is why we carry many brands that make multiple widths from AAAA narrow to EEEEEE wide. What is sometimes necessary, is to customize one or both shoes to meet your specific needs as well. This can be done in almost all shoes we sell, and the sales associate has the ability and training to help you. Q:I have my own orthotics, what shoes can i wear? A:There are many shoes available to you that accommodate orthotics. A deeper shoe with removable insoles is key. Although your options are slightly limited, you will still be able to find something to meet your needs. We work with doctors on a regular basis to help match customers with the right shoes for their orthotics. |
