However, the dazzling array of choices in the market often confuses people - how to find the pair that truly suits their feet among the many styles?
Step 1: Understand your foot shape - this is the foundation of your choice Most men have never truly measured their foot shape, which is the most common mistake when choosing shoes. In fact, foot shape can vary with age, weight, and even season: 1. Best time to measure: It is recommended to measure foot shape in the afternoon or evening, as after a day of activity, the feet will naturally expand, and this is the most accurate time for measurement 2. Three dimensional measurement method: not only measuring length, but also measuring foot width and arch height 3. Difference between left and right feet: About 60% of people have different sizes of left and right feet, and the larger one should be taken as the standard
