Sandal heels should fit such that your foot aligns properly with the shoe; specifically, the arch of your foot should align with the mid toe of the heel.
In more detail, ensure the following when fitting sandal heels:
-
Arch Alignment: The arch of your foot should be comfortably supported by the insole of the sandal heel. This is a key factor in overall comfort and stability.
-
Toe Overhang: There should be no toe overhang at the front of the sandal. Your toes should sit comfortably within the confines of the shoe.
-
Heel Placement: Your heel should not be hanging off the back of the sandal. It should sit securely on the heel cup (if present) or within the designated heel area.
-
Strap Comfort: The straps should not be too tight, causing digging or discomfort, nor too loose, leading to instability. Look for adjustable straps if you have concerns about fit.
-
Walking Test: Walk around in the sandals to ensure they feel secure and comfortable. Pay attention to any rubbing or pinching.
By ensuring these factors are met, you'll be able to find sandal heels that fit well and provide both comfort and style.
