What’s the best time of day to buy shoes?
Wait until the afternoon to shop for shoes — your feet naturally expand with use during the day and may swell in hot weather. Wear the same type of socks that you intend to wear with the shoes. Have the salesperson measure both of your feet — and get measured every time you buy new shoes. Go shoe shopping in the afternoon – did you know that your feet swell throughout the day? Later in the day, your feet tend to be at their largest, so the afternoon is the best time to try on a new pair of shoes.
How long should a pair of shoes last if worn daily?
According to podiatrists, everyday shoes need to be replaced every 8 to 12 months – or when they start showing signs of wear and tear. Quality dress shoes can last anywhere from 1 to 10 years, particularly if they are made from high-quality leather and regularly maintained. Regular polishing and conditioning can help extend their life significantly.
