Ditch the at-home measurements. You’ll get the best fit using new tech and advice from a pro.
A measurement of the foot is not just length. It also entails top-to-bottom volume and also the width of the foot and its shape. Some people have a little bit more of a rectangular-shaped foot. Others have more of a fan shape, or a more triangular-shaped foot.What’s the process when a runner walks into the store and has no idea what size they are or what shoe to wear?We now have a more advanced measuring system, which is a digital scanner. We use the old-school Brannock device less frequently.
For example, you want a thumbnail’s width of dead space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. We assess this when you are standing with your full weight evenly distributed on both feet. You’ll be looking straight ahead and letting your feet relax inside the shoe. We also look to see if we can grab a little bit of material across the top of the shoe’s upper.
Of course, after we assess those things from the outside, we’ll always ask the runner how the shoe feels. I always ask, “Do you feel any constriction? Can you move your toes? Would you be able to play the piano with your toes in your shoes?” You want the space because your foot needs to be able to move inside the shoe to absorb impact properly and remain strong. If we inhibit motion, your foot and toes can become weak and atrophied.
