Finding Shoes For Narrow Feet

There are many shapes and sizes of women. From clothes to shoes, getting the right fit will provide more comfort, giving you a better experience on both your body and your feet.

Why is it important to find the right fit? Finding the right fit for shoes is essential. Shoes that are too wide are going to slip off of the feet and create uncomfortable pressure on the toes, or blisters on the heels. Getting the right fit ensures a comfortable and healthy walk.

What are some of the tips you should use when shopping for women’s narrow shoes?

Be Cautious of Shopping Online
Despite the fact that there are online shoe stores that specialize in types of shoes, like narrow shoes for women's feet -- it's important to try on the shoes in person.

Get Familiar with Brands
Get familiar with certain brands of shoes, as it's going to ease the shopping trip. Finding versatile brands with shoes that go from day to night and shoes for casual and special occasions make it easy to go shopping, and even order online (as long as you are familiar with the sizing and the brand of shoes).

Shop Sales
Since narrow shoes limit the selection available to you while shopping, it's going to be more important than ever to shop through the sales. Shop at the end of the season and sign up for communication from your favorite stores and brands that stock specialty shoes for women; helping to stay within budget.

Try Them On


Instead of visiting the store to try on a pair of shoes for size, give yourself a chance to walk around the store a few times in the shoes. Most women try on their shoes while sitting down, basing their opinion on foot using the appearance and feeling of the shoes without ever walking around. Spend a few minutes walking around the store in the shoes to determine not only how they fit, but also how they feel while they're actually being worn.

Check the Return Policy
What is the return policy of the store where the shoes are being purchased? You're going to want to choose a store that allows you the chance to return the shoes in the case they don't work or are the wrong fit once they've been worn. Most stores require the tags to be attached to the shoes and the shoes to be unworn outside. Keep this in mind and try on the shoes again, walking around at home, to make sure that you've found the right fit.

Don't Forget About Support
Narrow feet require support throughout the arches -- especially in the case that the shoes are going to be used for sports. Choose high quality shoes with support throughout to reduce the chance of injury and ensure comfort while the shoes are being worn.

Shopping for women's narrow shoes doesn't have to be difficult. Finding the right store, the right brand and the right type of shoe that works for your fit is half the battle.
