Shoes
The primary purpose of shoes is to protect your feet and prevent injury. But in order to do so, they must fit well. Poorly fitted shoes

--shoes that are too narrow, too short or too large--

can cause discomfort, injury and even permanent deformity.
Understanding the components of proper fit can help you make sensible shoe purchases for yourself and your family.

This brochure describes the parts of a shoe and how they can affect fit.

It also discusses special considerations related to children's,

men's, women's, work and athletic shoes,

and provides recommendations on footwear selection.
Although style is often a key consideration in choosing a pair of shoes,

the most important quality to look for in shoes

--from a practical standpoint--is durable construction

that will protect your feet and keep them comfortable.

In selecting shoes, keep this basic principle of good fit in mind

: Your shoes should conform to the shape of your feet;

your feet should never be forced to conform to the shape of a pair of shoes.

Soreness, blisters, callouses, and, with time,

permanent disfigurements can be caused by habitually crowding

your feet into shoes that don't fit well.
