Check the fit
Notice whether your toes have room and whether the heel feels secure. A shoe that rubs or pinches is useful to bring to your assessment.
Look for wear
Uneven wear can be worth discussing, but it does not diagnose a problem on its own. Bring the pair you wear most often so your podiatrist can see it.
Ask for individual advice
Footwear needs differ with your activities and health. This article is general information for a fictional demo, not a diagnosis or personal treatment advice.
