So, you’ve got your suit, black tie outfit, or perhaps splashed out on a tuxedo for a special occasion. The second most important consideration is to get a good quality and stylish pair of shoes. Did you know that one in four people say that they have trouble finding a pair of shoes that fits them correctly? The last thing you want is for ill-fitting shoes ruining your special occasion by being too big or too tight, which can lead to discomfort, rubbing, and possibly painful blisters. If you’re shopping for mens shoes for small feet, it can sometimes be hard to find ones that fit you perfectly. And if none of your go-to shoe stores stock small sizes, a lot of shoe companies make shoes for men down to the UK size 6-6.5 (Euro sizes 40-41). However, not all brands offer anything smaller than UK size 8, which can be too big on many people. So, for instance, if you are looking for mens dress shoes size 5, you will have to look elsewhere. The best way to find the perfect shoe for your size is by considering these factors:

1. Always get Fitted 

First, always get fitted and try on many styles of shoes until you’re satisfied with one that fits you just right. We recommend that you have your shoes fitted at a quality shoe shop that specialises in size 5 and below. And, if they don’t have what you are looking for, ask them to write down your measurements, after which you can shop safely online. There are even online shops that will guide you in choosing the right size.

2. Try Before You Buy 

If you’re looking for more options besides just online shopping, try visiting a specialist shoe store or department store in person to try on different styles that might work for your small feet while also checking out what they’ve got in stock online. You may be surprised at what brands carry smaller sizes. 

3. Shop Online 

Remember when it comes to buying dress shoes, you get what you pay for. And there are many websites that offer great luxury shoes at affordable prices. Also, if you were measured recently, buying online can save you a lot of time. 

4. Brands That Make Smaller Shoes 

There are brands out there that specialise in the smaller than average and larger than average sizes which other shops don't offer. If your favourite shops never seem to stock your size, these companies will help you to measure your feet at home and then order through them.

Always get Fitted, Try Before You Buy, Shop Online, and Brands That Make Smaller Shoes are the 4 Tips on Buying Men’s Shoes for Small Feet.
