The Shoe Market

Family owned and operated, The Shoe Market has been serving the Greensboro community for over 20 years. Starting as a small shop of only one thousand square feet, The Shoe Market is now a shoe paradise of over 30,000 square feet.

We're not like other shoe stores. We believe in personal, customer-focused service, and working to fit your feet and your needs.

Shoes that fit can help you do the things you want to do AND keep your feet healthy! To help you select shoes that are right for your feet here are 10 tips (and some bonus tips!) courtesy of the National Shoe Retailers Association and the Pedorthic Footwear Association.

1. Shoe sizes are not standard. Sizes vary between shoe brands and styles. A size 8M from one manufacturer might fit like a size 8N from another. Don't select shoes by the size marked on the shoe.

2. Have both your feet measured every time you purchase a pair of shoes. Over the course of your lifetime, your feet will change in both size and shape. For many people, one foot is slightly longer and/or wider than the other, so fit the largest foot first. Bonus tip: Go to a store that measures both feet and wear the type of socks you will use for the activity.

3. Select shoes that match the shape of your foot. If your foot shape matches your shoe shape, you are on the right track to a good shoe fit.

4. When you shop for shoes, try on various types and styles. Judge shoes by how they fit your feet. Don't select any style that feels too tight, too loose, or irritates parts of your foot.

5. Shoes should be as wide as your feet, and longer. When shoes contact the ground during walking or running, feet elongate. Bonus tip: Allow adequate space (3/8" to 1/2") at the end of the shoe for your longest toe.

6. Make sure the widest part of your foot (the ball of the foot) fits comfortably into the widest part of the shoe. This match permits shoes to bend where your feet flex, giving you a more functional and more comfortable wearing experience

7. Heels should fit comfortably in the shoes. Don't buy shoes too small just to avoid heel slippage. If your foot has excessive slippage in the heel of your shoe, try a different shoe or ask your shoe fitter to make some minor adjustments.

8. Inserts or orthodics affect the way a shoe fits. Shoe inserts or foot orthodics will take up shoe space intended for feet. If you require inserts or orthodics, you'll need a roomier shoe; otherwise, the inserts can't function properly and your shoes won't fit right.

9. Choose shoes appropriate for the activity and the time that you perform that activity. Feet change under different conditions: after exercise, in warm weather, with weight gain, or from sitting to standing. When shoe shopping, remember that your feet are generally larger after an activity than preceding it, so buy accordingly.

10. Walk in the shoe to make sure it feels comfortable. No need to do a marathon run while trying on shoes, but at least take a walk around the store. Shoes express your fashion sense and affect your health and activities. So choose wisely. Bonus tip: Shop stores like The Shoe Market that offer full service, including a good size and width selection and staff trained in proper shoe fitting and measuring.
