1. Remove Footbed/Insole and stand on it

• Ensure that the footbed matches the shape of your foot
• Watch that your foot does not hang over the edges at any point

2. Replace the footbed and put shoes back on to check fit

Length

• Check that there is a baby finger’s width from the front end of the shoe to the longest toe on each foot

Width

• Should feel comfortable
• If proper width, you should be able to pinch a very small amount of material above the toes

Collar

• The collar should be below the malleoli (bumps on either side of ankle)
• There should be a snug fit at the collar with no gapping

3. With shoes on, go for a walk around the store

• Ensure that your heel does not slip when walking in the shoe
• If the midsole is flexible, it should bend at the ball of your foot when walking
• The shoes should feel comfortable in the store
