Compare the soles
Place both shoes on a flat surface. Look for pronounced uneven wear or different heel shapes.
Inspect inside
Check lining, insoles, stitching and odours. Shoes should be dry and intact, without loose or sharp parts.
Assess the fit
Measure the foot and internal shoe length using the manufacturer's advice. Do not accept a poor fit just because the price is low.
