Have your feet measured so you know your exact size.
Sometimes your feet can actually be two different sizes. To get your feet measured, just go to the shoes section of any good department store. Most of them should have tools to measure your foot and find your perfect size or else you can measure your own by using following steps.
Realize that you may be different sizes in different brands.
Depending on the cut of a shoe, you could be a 7.5 in one brand and an 8 in another. Similarly, know what size you are in European sizes (Malaysian also use European size), because many quality shoe brand use those.
Try on shoes at the end of the day
Believe or not, your feet can change sizes through out the day, and they swell a little bit by the end of the day. Try shoes on after walking around and you'll get a picture of your true size.
Walk around in the shoes before you buy them.
You should do some laps around the shoe area in the shoes before you even think about buying! And remember to shop at stores that have good return policies every shoe is going to be comfortable at first, but maybe not after an hour. Buy shoes somewhere with a decent return policy so you can wear them for a while and see they stay comfy before committing.

Note how the sole is attached to the shoes.
If the sole is stitched on, make sure the stitches are even and look secure. If it's glued on, check to make sure that there is no space around the edges where the sole could start to peel off. You want a sole that's seamless and isn't going anywhere.
Look for shoes with a layer of rubber on the heel.
This will help prevent slippage and make it easier to walk in the shoes. Some heels don't have rubber or any kind of grip, and these shoes will be difficult to walk in and possibly even dangerous.

Pay attention to the lining.
In high quality shoes, the insole lining is usually made of leather, not a synthetic material and goes all the way around inside of the shoe. If the shoe only has lining on the bottom but not the sides. It won't be as comfortable. Similarly, natural materials like leather absorb moisture and allow your foot to breathe synthetic like vinyl won't absorb moisture and will be much less comfortable.
