"Sneaker/shoe fits"


  

          

Not gym or your jogging sneakers but you’re everyday sneakers you wear to work or wherever. Be it Jordan’s, air max, Skechers, new balance, whatever it may be .

Do you like a little space or do you want a perfect fit with toes and heel fitting perfectly?

I feel my size no longer fits as they once did and I’m having to make adjustments with a half size up but I don’t like it

...turns out that I'm actually a half-size larger than what I thought, and I wear a wide to extra wide (E or EE vs. the regular D). Don't forget to account for socks when you measure. I've also started looking up the sizing guides for each individual brand of sneaker or shoe I'm buying now. Some run big, some run small so I look up each shoe before I buy now and compare their numbers to mine when I buy online.

I prefer a bit of wiggle room in the toe area of my shoes, personally.


Edit: Downside for me is my actual size is now just out of the "normal" range. Not everything is available for me.

>Do you like a little space or do you want a perfect fit with toes and heel fitting perfectly?

You *need* some extra space in front of your toes to account for walking down a hill or even taking a short step or you'll hurt your toes.

Also your feet swell/expand during the day deepening on hydration, and bloodflow. You always need some room in front of your toes - like 1/2 inch.

I've had an injury from a "perfect" fit shoe in the past - now I need a little room.

And I size up my hiking shoes even a little more because of all the downhill.

I can't imagine wearing heels - what that does to your feet.

tldr: Need 'em a little big.

In practice ... for a lot of the reasons already listed, I go a half size up. It just ends up being more comfortable in the long run

i guess i like the extra space in sneakers

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

My feet are asymmetrical, so I make sure to fit the larger foot.

Show sizes are all over the place. I've comfortably worn 10-13.u

Y'all buy those labels, I was born supreme
