You Never Measure Your Feet

When’s the last time a salesperson pulled out one of those steel slide things to measure your feet? (It’s called the Brannock Device.) With age, your arches fall, and gravity and weight stretch ligaments, so your foot can widen and lengthen. Get them sized every time you shop, or at least once a year. One foot often is larger than the other, so measure both and try on the pair. And be sure to stand. Your full weight expands your feet.

Fashion often trumps function in the shoe world. Learn why it’s a bad idea to shop for shoes online, how to find a good fit in the store, and how to fix other missteps with these hardworking accessories.

Practical and frivolous. Primitive and high tech. Refined and monstrous. Since the early days of early human civilization, shoes have not only served as protection for our precious feet, but have also become our most important accessory of self-identity and self-representation. But how did shoe style and construction of the past differ from what we know and wear today? It's time to travel back in time and around the world to see how shoe fashion and function has evolved right under our feet.

Talk about walking with dinosaurs! Kick it really (really) old school with a pair of Dinosaur Heels that look just as good touring Jurassic Park as they do strolling down Park Avenue. These prehistoric pump upgrades are fully functional, the standard heel has been replaced with a steel bolt welded to the sole shank, with hollow dinosaur toys to cover up the hardware. It looks like these tiny terrors are holding you up, or maybe chasing you down as you are running away trying to escape Isla Nubla.
