- Length: A thumb's width between the longest toe and shoe tip.
- Width: Snug fit at the widest part of the foot.
- Heel: Snug but not slipping; slight movement is normal.
- Arch Support: Adequate support without strain.

- Comfort: In general Goodyear welted shoes need a break in process to get as comfortable as they really are.
