New Shoes! What Time of Day do You Shop For New Shoes??

Hello Artistry Happy Newyear to you and all your beloved ones also. Nope i wasnt tricked by this question, i have previously been doing the similar mistake and found out that i could only fit the shoe in the morning but not in the evening, i used the shoe 3 times and then gave it away :/

...Hi there Downwindz, Happy 2010 to you and to your family. You were not tricked. :o) That is the precise answer. When your feet swell, you would be better served to go and buy your shoes then, as your shoes would fit very well after they go down. If you buy them in the morning, as your feet swell, the shoes will be very painful. So there you go, you knew the answer. Thanks so much for your response. Take it easy.

...Hi Downwindz, You have experienced what happens in real life. The swelling happens as you have said and you wind up with shoes that are too small, when you start to wear the shoes. So, much better as you said before, to purchase the shoes in the evening so that your shoes will fit more comfortable, otherwise you will be in terrible pain. Thanks again for your reply. Take it easy.

...Hi chickenteeth, I think you would be okay as well, if you bought your new shoes in the afternoon. Because it is said, that the better time to purchase new shoes would be after your feet have gotten larger during the day. That way you will be wearing a comfortable shoe, instead of one which cramps your foot. So you are going to be able to rock your new shoes all the way! Take it easy. Thanks for your reply.

...Hi chickenteeth, Yes, in the morning when you get up, most people's feet are one size, because you have been off of them during the night. Once you have walked around all day, stood on your feet working or whatever, your feet will swell, making them a larger size than what they were in the morning. Not by growing lengthwise, but widthwise. So if you try on your new shoes in the afternoon or evening, when you purchase them, you should not have a problem wearing them, because they will not be too tight. Take care.

Your feet grow larger? I have never heard of this before!

...Hi cher913, You were not tricked :o). That is exactly what they do say. Which if you think about it, makes logical sense. If you try the shoes on in the morning, you foot is smaller usually, and the shoe is conforming to that smaller foot. Wearing it becomes painful, as your foot swells during the day. So better to go in the afternoon or better yet, the nighttime, as you say, when you feet have swollen. This will insure the shoes are comfortable when you start wearing them. Thanks for your response. Take care.

...Hi Hatley, Happy 2010. Well you hit the shoe on the head. :o) That is what I have been told as well, for the very same reasons you stated. If you think about it, it makes logical sense. Otherwise, as you have stated, your feet are cramped and hurting because they get larger as you go through the day. Thanks very much for your response. Take good care.

...Hi nijolechu, Happy 2010 to you and your family. Well, you would probably be alright with the sizing, as by the afternoon, your feet should have enlarged enough that you would not be purchasing shoes, that are going to be uncomfortable as you wear them through the day. Better to buy them, I've been told, when you have walked around during the day and your feet are larger than they are in the morning. You will have painful feet, if the new shoes are bought when your feet have not swelled during the day. The shoes will be much more comfortable if you buy them in the afternoon or late in the day. Thanks so much for your response. Tkeiteasy.

...Hi there shuying, Hope that you are doing well. Your choice is the right one according to what is said would be the better time. The reason being, that your feet are larger in the afternoon and evening, because you have been walking around on them and they have swollen. This way your feet will be fitted into a shoe that will be comfortable for you the next time you wear them. So keep treating your feet right and buy those shoes in the evening. "o). Take it easy.

hehe,i just consider my habit and don't think the science basis.
