Spring is a gift to our feet.
Liberated from boots, tights and socks, winter feet get indulged with pedicures and comfortable sandals.
I better stock up on a good supply of Band-Aids!
Here are 10 ways to confirm your new picks do.
Know your feet may have grown
Just like breasts, feet change in shape and size with age.
After age 50, feet are bonier and lack padding and they may even be bigger.
In fact, your usual size 7 may now be an 8.
Dont get stuck on a specific size since size varies brand to brand.
Since one foot is usually larger than the other, size each shoe to that foot.
And here are two tips on returns: Never keep shoes that feel a tad too small.
They wont stretch with wear thats a myth.
If your toes hang over the front edge of sandals, say no again.
Theyre too darn small.
Look for flats with support
No matter whats trending, ballet flats remain one of our favorites.
But if you might bend those ballet flats in half, beware.
Those with thin flimsy soles and no structure or inner cushion are tough on mature feet.
