Try These On for Size

O, The Oprah Magazine | From the February 2007 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

Narrow Feet

What to look for:

A well-fitting heel—too loose and you'll wobble (and risk a sprained ankle)
Straps, laces or ties, so that you can adjust the shoe for a closer fit if necessary
Leather rather than suede (the latter is too yielding to give adequate support)
Round toes, which make very long, thin feet look more in proportion
