With that said, your feet deserve the extra attention when it comes to finding the right shoe. So, take a minute to learn about 6 secrets when it comes to picking out the perfect work shoes.

Test them Out

This is an obvious one. If you don't test out your shoes before you buy them then there's no way for you to really know if they fit right or look right on you. We've all done it before- Saw a shoe we loved, took it home without trying it on, finally put it on and hated it. Why waste time and money doing this when you would easily try it out in the store to see how it feels. Every shoe and every brand is different so testing out your work shoes before you take them home is essential.

Read Reviews

Reading reviews on potential work shoes you want to buy is a no brainer. Take advice from people who have experience with the shoe you want to buy, and you'll learn a lot. How long did they last? Did they hold up in a busy day at work? This is important to know. Most women find themselves buying heels for work and end up being disappointed when they come home with sore and aching feet at the end of the day. If you take the time to research and read reviews, you'll notice that combat boots are actually a worker's best friend when it comes to shoes. They offer maximum support and comfort.

Get Measured

When you find yourself in a shoe store and can't decide between a whole size or a half size, just ask! So many people don't want to ask for help, but sales associates in shoe stores are there to help and can guide you in the right direction. Afterall, getting a pair of shoes that fit are one of the most important things you can do for your feet. The worst thing is when you buy a pair of shoes and after a week or two of "breaking them in" you realize they won't break in because they aren't the right size.

Shop in the Afternoon

Surprisingly, most people don't know this but when you shop in the afternoon you get a more accurate reading of your shoe size. The reason is because your feet will naturally expand as the days go on and you would hate to buy a pair of work shoes that feel too tight by the end of the day. This is also where width comes in to play. Pay special attention to the width of your feet to end up picking out a pair of work shoes that are not only practical and stylish, but also fit right for maximum comfort all day at work.
