Step 1:
Decide on a shoe budget. Depending on what you're willing to spend, different styles and brands may suit you best. Shopping at a discount venue, for instance, severely limits your choice of brand and style but provides very cheap shoes. And cheap shoes does not always mean comfort.
Step 2:
Pick a shoe type to look for. Choosing shoes can become a hassle if you don't know what you're searching for. It's best to fit your shoe to what you use shoes for. If you're on your feet all day, it's important to choose a comfortable shoe with lots of padding. If you sit all day then choose a shoe with more style
Step 3:
Know your foot. Check your old shoes and note which areas are the most worn. Look at the soles of the shoe. Be on the lookout for rubbing or tightness in those areas when you choose shoes. This can be more prominent in cheap shoes, or in those with little padding. Getting the wrong pair of shoes can be painful.
Step 4:
Try on different pairs. If it takes 50 pairs then it takes 50 pairs. Finding the right style and fit can take awhile, so it's best to devote a little time to trying on different kinds and brands of shoes. Compare a pair of cheap shoes to an expensive pair. Walk back and forth a few times to see how they feel against your feet, and make sure you consider whether you'll be wearing socks or not.
Step 5:
Just have fun. Make a great day out of find the best shoes for you.
