Why do feet get bigger in afternoon?

Answer 1

Feet sometimes may get bigger in the afternoon because of swelling. However, it doesn't occur to everyone especially if they don't wear tight shoes, socks, or sandals. Don't worry though if your feet swell because it isn't dangerous and your feet will "shrink" back to normal later. I would like to add an additional note that the best time to try on shoes and buy is in the afternoon because your feet are the "biggest" or the most "swelled", so that way you can make sure they will feel comfortable all day.
