To get the right fit: * Try on shoes in the afternoon or evening. Feet swell throughout the day and can be half to a full size larger in the evening than in the morning. * If your feet are different sizes, buy to fit the larger one. * Have at least 5/8\ between your longest toe and the shoe. * Test walk shoes on hard surfaces rather than padded floors. * Don't be tied to a particular size. Shoe sizes vary by brand and feet continue to grow as we age - as much as half a shoe size a decade past our 40s. (* Main points derived from an article published by the Arthri- tis Foundation.)
