There are many stories about new tight shoes stretching, right shoe to be tried on as right foot is bigger, etc. These are hardly ever true and they hardly ever apply to all kind of feet. There is a simple rule to follow and it is: always buy shoes that fit your feet best. Don’t think that they will stretch if they are too tight. It is always useful to measure your feet as usually size changes with age or one foot is bigger than the other. A good practice is to try shoes at the end of the work day when your feet are a bit swollen so you prevent the discomfort of tight shoes in the future.
