How To Determine Your Shoe Size

Making sure that you are wearing the right size shoe is a basic for daily comfort. Shoes that are too small are one of the major causes of foot pain and problems. Shoes that are too large can cause blistering and a lack of stability. Also, just because you knew your shoe size a few years ago doesn't mean it is the same--feet, like people, change over time.

Measuring tips:

The best time to measure your feet with the following method is at the end of the day, when your feet are at their most swollen.
Wear the same style of socks that you plan to wear with your shoes.
Measure both feet and choose the shoe size that fits the bigger foot.
If you are alone, it is best to take the measurements while sitting. If someone else is helping you, then standing on your feet is best.

Learning to tie your shoes properly is an important part in taking care of your shoes and avoiding accidents; tying your shoes will prevent tripping over shoelaces, not to mention help keep your shoes on your feet. There are many different ways to tie shoes, and keep in mind that practice makes perfect.

Method 1 - Standard Shoelace Knot

Hold one end of each shoelace in each hand.
Cross the shoelaces, making an X.
Pass the top end of the shoelace under the other and through to the front. Pull tightly, making a starter knot.
Take the right shoelace and fold it in half, making a loop.
Take the left shoelace and pass it loosely behind and around the right loop, so that a hole forms between the left lace and the loop.
Continue to wrap around until the left lace has made it around the right loop.
