Try to have 1/2 inch of space between the end of your toe and the shoe when you're standing. The ball of your foot should feel comfortable in the shoe. For instance, if your feet are square, you may want a shoe with great arch and wide toe boxes for your toes. Also, avoid shoes with unbalanced soles that can sit higher up on your foot. Your toes should appear elongated, and you should try to avoid too wide heels. Shoes with strong toe boxes also create a sense of softness to your feet. Think about sizing for the sole: do you want a longer sole than a shorter heel? A wider heel is usually best for women. If you have a smaller foot, choose shoes that fit correctly.
