Can shoes make feet swell?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Swelling feet: No, shoes do not make your feet swell....Although, if your feet are swelling while your in your shoes, it may seem that way. See a specialist and find out why, your feet are swelling.

No: Actually, being on your feet causes your feet to swell due in main part to gravity. This will cause your shoes to feel tighter.
