Even if your feet aren't growing anymore you still need to replace your shoes from time to time. Just general wear and tear tends to get the best of even well made well cared for footwear. That means you need to track more than just what shoes you own and which closet, basket, or box they're stored in. You'll need all the details that matter when you're shopping for a replacement. This post has lots of tips on how to use Stockpile to make shoe shopping a little easier.
Sizing Up the Situation
Before you start shoe shopping there are several details you need to know. First, what are you looking for? What color and style of shoe do you need? Finding great brown loafers is nice but it's not helpful if what you really need are black boots. Be clear about what you're looking for before you start shopping and don't get sidetracked by good deals or special offers. You'll also want to know what you already own. The more pairs of shoes you own, the harder it is to keep track. If you only wear certain shoes on special occasions you may forget you even have them. You may assume that all your shoes are the same size but that may not be true. Some manufacturers size shoes differently, some boots are better a half size larger than you normally wear to allow room for socks, and some flip flops run wide so a smaller size may be a better fit. Knowing what size you typically take in a particular style or brand can help you avoid time consuming returns.
