Also, your feet swell when you walk, and they need room as they go through the walking motion. All of these factors may affect your shoe size. So be kind to your feet: Measure them, and be sure to buy big-enough shoes. Footwear that's too small can cause all kinds of problems.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.aolhealth.com/fitness/walking/shoe-shopping-tips"><DIV> <STRONG>When you try on shoes, make sure that there's plenty of room.</STRONG> You need at least a finger's width beyond the end of your longest toe (usually the big toe).
