Tips for you to recognize the best fit for shoes

Know that this attention is also a way to take care of the health and well-being of the feet.

You already know that Modare Ultaconforto values the well-being of the feet, especially through technologies that benefit from the plantar region to the heel. But, in the lives of many women, there is that basic question: how to get the fit of shoes just right?

Do not worry, as we have prepared five tips for you to save and use in the future!

1. Know your feet

It may not look like it, but they change with age. Not to mention that the incorrect choice of size (such as considering OK to wear a smaller number because it was the only one there was in store) can lead to pain. Therefore, in addition to having a care routine, it is important to know the length (including the arch) and the width of the feet. The more you master these details, the easier it will be to choose flexible and easy-fitting shoes.

2. One foot is “bigger” than the other

When putting it on, there is a feeling that one pair is better adjusted than the other. Or a surprise when the number doesn't hit the one you usually buy. The truth is that the feet are not totally the same and the fitting of the sizes varies (for reasons of manufacturing). Therefore, use as a reference the foot that is most comfortable inside the shoe. Look for products that have foam on the heel to keep them firm and the heel secure. Including comfort point on the bunion to better cozy this region.

3. Test with socks

If you like sports shoes, the tip is to always to try them on with the sock that you often wear. Depending on the thickness of the material, the fit may be affected. Be sure to test the walk as well (and that goes for all types of footwear, huh?), as the feet will "spread” and you will be aware if the fit does not bother. And if it does not affect the format of the region. It is worth checking the cushioning and if there is no impact on the heel.

4. Don't wait for the shoes to break in

They have to bring convenience in the act of wearing! Fortunately, today many have comfort technologies that amplify this feeling, as happens in Modare Ultraconforto. A Duo Tech for example, brings an insole with two comfort points (in the plantar and heel regions) that absorb the impacts of walking. Another example is Ultrasoft, insole made in EVA that promotes softness to the feet.

5. Combine shoes with routine activities

The reasoning is: if you are going to run, choose sports shoes intended for physical exercises. For walking, it is important to analyze whether they are flexible on the soles of the feet and non-slip. If you wear heels all day, have low heeled shoes within reach, such as toe sandals or flats whose insoles stimulate blood microcirculation and make it active.
