Thanks for putting this one out cuz, this is all new to me right here I also have flat feet and now I know how to address this issue.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

You’re welcome, cuz! You know I like to share the knowledge LOL

@ahmedliman4063 3 года назад

Thank you Vlad for a great and informative video. The presentation was top notch in your very distinct and engaging style. I thought I knew my feet but ooops it turns out I do not. They are not normal feet but flat... who would have known😄. I attributed some of differences in fit to the lasts but I apparently figured my feet wrongly. I know better now.

@kingnoely9431 3 года назад

Great Video! We learn something new each day, right! I think this is something that all your views, including myself, will be super-mindful of next time we are purchasing shoes! I'm taking delivery of two pairs of chuck boots tomorrow! So I will be looking at fit.....oh the issues we have ordering from the internet!!!

@v_r_ 3 года назад

You’re so right, Simon! Buying shoes online is not ideal but necessary for most of us. I hope that your new shoes fit well.

@mahmoudabdulraheem9298 3 года назад

Thank you kindly for this knowledge

@OGustus 3 года назад

This is exactly my situation and I believe not many manufacturers/retailers know this. When I try to explain this to people they don’t/can’t understand it. Having a flat, wide 🦶and high instep makes it difficult to find comfortable footwear. Another good video as always Vlad. 👌🏿

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Augustine, what’s good? I think that having flat feet as well as a high instep is very uncommon. I found a foolproof solution and I’ll be making a video about it soon. Stay tuned!

@perbandstein622 3 года назад

So wise and good tips. Useful for every kind of foot and expecially every kind of shoe, both cheap ones and more expensives. Be safe, take care! Peace !

@v_r_ 3 года назад

@jackingup8877 Год назад

I am fully into that tooo Carmina rain too much V , Carlos santos yess , then tlb g last too much .. try and error for ready to wear … and as said even in the same brand you have variation … loffers Oxford etc…. Thanks again , very true

@SunMagnetic 3 года назад

Very instructive, Bro. I learned that my left instep is slightly higher. It makes my oxfords feel funny depending on the brand and last. I agree 100 percent on the tight fit. I walk 10000+ steps a day at work. Loose shoes increase fatigue.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Oh wow! I didn’t even know that. The thing is loose shoes can’t get smaller, only bigger. But tighter shoes can and will loosen up a bit.

@arthurcatalanotto1151 3 года назад

I have narrow flat feet. Many years ago I got measured (9B) and fitted to the 65 last at an Allen Edmonds store by the store manager who knew his business. After a wear or two to break in, the fit and comfort of these shoes are so nice, I forget I am wearing shoes. I am afraid to try another brand without getting an in shore fitting due to all of the differences in last. I hope to someday get to NYC to get fitted at Carmina. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion for some of the finer things in life. Fit is king! Peace to you sir.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Peace Arthur! I’m glad that you’ve found a last that works well for you. I’ve been lucky with a few different brands/lasts but now I’m nervous whenever I’m trying a new one.

@niiamarhkwei-mensah696 3 года назад

Learnt a lot today. Thanks Vlad!

@v_r_ 3 года назад

You’re welcome, my brother!

@Gregsgreatfood 3 года назад

Great explanation. I've had the same gapping issue with a couple of shoes. Both were from 3DM Lifestyle. I couldn't figure out why. Now I know it's time to sell them.

@salsalaan 3 года назад

Hi bro I do wanna say I always learn something new from you keep the good work

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Thank you, my brother. That’s really nice to hear.

@ffa5153 3 года назад

Well said and thank you for this nice video. A few years ago I lost some weight. My shoe size went down by half a size. However, my in-step remained the same and I was challenged to find a RTW shoe with a generous instep. 10 years into this struggle I found a few suitable lasts but only at the cost of having bought many ill fitting ones. So the question remains which is costlier going bespoke which costs 4 - 10 times a RTW shoe or accept the cost of trial and error? I am tempted to finally try the former.

@MrRahu91 3 года назад

Perfect timing, I was really contemplating selling my loafer and sneakers since they were half a size larger

@v_r_ 3 года назад

I’d say it depends on how much bigger they feel. Personally, I would try them with thicker socks and an insole to see if that helps.

@kevinbounds9837 3 года назад

@v_r_ 3 года назад

@victorswint9887 3 года назад

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Haha...stay tuned, bro. Coming really soon. 😳😳

@davidedmonds6427 3 года назад

I have the same issue flat feet, so thanks for the information Vladimir.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

There are a lot of us in the comments section. I didn't realize that flat feet was so common.

@ernestoblanes7835 3 года назад

I sympathize! I have a very narrow heel and ankle, and almost always have problems with heel slippage. Most RTW lasts claim to be made for "average" feet, and yet it seems those really don't exist. That's why I find it surprising when RTW shoes do fit.There's a learning curve with different lasts as you mention, and sometimes the ones we like are not the ones that fit us. Anyway thanks for the video! Really appreciate you sharing your experience in this realm!

@katerynefier 3 года назад

This is a issue I’ve been dealing with ever since I’ve started wearing higher quality shoes. For me TLB Mallorca have been the only shoe to not give me a gape. Wish there was away to know which last were more likely not to work with flat feet. Thanks great video!

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Thanks, Rey! You’re right, shoemakers should specify the type of feet that their lasts are best suited for. That would be extremely helpful.

@ahpadt 3 года назад

I also have flat feet with a high instep. I haven't purchased any oxfords for many years but I got a pair of C&J Pembroke that fit me really well.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

It’s always good when you find that one last that works well for your feet.

@ORIGINALDaveB 2 года назад

I can't believe I never knew about the paper bag test. I'm a Physical Therapist (retired) and we always have the person stand, slip our finger under the arch and do a rear view inspection. Good tip!

@bigvisk1125 2 года назад

I have normal arches but a high instep. I really dig oxfords but rarely find one that fits length wide and instep wise. Some I cant even get on like Beckett simonon. Carmina I have tried the Detroit last and while comfortable the lacing V is wide. Meermin mark last was a tiny bit better but still a wide V at laces. Got to find one with an even higher instep I think or see how they break in. Lot yo ask in the stretch dept though

@anangelshero0410 3 года назад

Great video...always getting a thumbs up ‼️ I'm subscribed but still hating on those brands of shoes you own❗😂😂😂

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Haha...thanks for the thumbs up and subscription, fam!

@mattn2206 3 года назад

Man, I just found your youtube and it's dope. You mention flat feet. I was cursed with flat feet! Can you do a more indepth video for brands that are flat foot friendly?

@ForTheLoveOfSuits 3 года назад

Hi Vlad. Great video. I think I have normal feet but I’m going to try the shower test to check. I assumed for years I was wearing the right size shoes until I moved to Shanghai and they didn’t have UK shoes sizes so I had to try fitting different sizes and then when I bought shoes online from the UK again I found I was actually a whole size smaller than I believed. Now my shoes fit much better. I didn’t known they were supposed to fit this well. It’s something most people don’t spend too much time thinking about but it’s actually important to make sure you have the right fit. And leaning about which shoe last fits you is great as you can confidently order more shoes and expect a great fit. I bought a pair of Oliver Sweeney shoes a few months ago and they are the best fitting shoes I have ever worn. Unfortunate they just discontinued the last. Damn! The search goes on. Or at least that’s my excuse for looking for more shoes.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Aw man, that's the worst when you find a last that works then they decide to stop making them, that would piss me off. Have you thought about getting a last made just for your feet? I have a video coming up on that soon.

@ForTheLoveOfSuits 3 года назад

Vladimir Riché Yes I certainly have. It’s on my wish list of things to do and I hope it will happen in the next year or two. Really look forward to that video.

@cashrun1 3 года назад

Same issue with shoes here. This info helps. Always imformative; mesi, fre mwen. Glad to see you approaching 10K subscribers. Haven't commented in a minute but always watch. Good work, fam! Subscriber #107

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Haha...you’ve been MIA for a minute, bro. Glad to see you back. What brand and last would you say work with your feet best?

@cashrun1 3 года назад

The Meermin Elton last still has a slight gape but not as bad as the Hiro. Looking forward to get into the other brands last from the ($300-500) video. Had the same issues with AEs

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Got you! Ironically I didn’t notice any gaps at all with my Elton shoes and I’ve never tried Hiro. Feet are very tricky.

@stevem6607 3 года назад

Yo Bro, great video about something that is really important. I tend not to buy shoes online as I find so much variation is size and fit when it comes to my feet.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

What’s good, Steve? Buying shoes online is not easy. Unfortunately, most guys don’t have access to good shoes locally where they can just walk in to try them on. So it’s necessary but definitely not ideal.

@DS-jk7fj 3 года назад

I had the same issue with my Aldens and Trickers shoes. To solve this problem I went a half size smaller and used a shoe stretcher to widen the width of the shoe.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Interesting, I’m glad that worked for you.

@dunkeljoanito 3 года назад

Did you try using orthopedic insoles to correct the issue with the flat feet? What page, forum or app do you use to sell your shoes, other than ebay ?

@blobofjam 3 года назад

I have flat feet but have custom made insoles which fix the issue with shoes. I primarily wear boots, but since getting properly fitted insoles I have not seen any gaping or creases on the side. The one downside is however that it can raise your arch, so thin profile shoes may not fit as well, or will take longer to break in as you have to allow the stitching around the laces to conform to your foot.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Interesting and thanks for sharing. I'm glad that you've found a solution that works for you.

@AstepAbove21 3 года назад

As a flat foot brother myself, it's a struggle not having that gap present. Unless you're going bespoke or made to measure this is inevitable. Thanks for the video. Cheers.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Thanks for watching, fam. Flat feet brothers in the house 😂😂. But I have a follow up video on that topic coming soon

@roscoeward1476 3 года назад

Wow! I never new. The only problem I knew I had was I have wide feet. Sometimes I have to go up a half size to fit. Fingers crossed, I ordered the same Carlos Santos shoes. When they get here I really hope they fit. As always great video, I'm really glad I subscribed to your channel.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

What’s good, Roscoe? I hope they work for you as well. That last does work for most feet according to Kostas so fingers crossed. I’m very glad that you’ve subscribed as well 🙏🏾🙏🏾

@Nilroypaul 3 года назад

One thing I have always been mindful of is what I think is called the heel clip.That is the inward curve at the back of the shoe when viewed from the side. A properly fitting shoe would have a marked heel clip, while an improperly fitting shoe would trace an almost straight heel clip, or more precisely, no inward curve. It is important because if the heel clip is not well defined the bottom of the pants would always get caught in the gap created by an improper heel clip - the gap between the back of the foot and the shoe. It causes the pants to have a semi-break at the rear crease where it meets the shoe. It is an unattractive look. The back of the pants should have a straight uninterrupted fall. The problem is an ill fitting heel clip that is too pronounced comes with its own drawback. Here the shoe may cause blisters at the back of the heel. Oh well, the varieties of men's clothing. It is one of the reasons I have never bought clothing online.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Thanks for the comment and explanation, maybe I’ve been lucky with that too as I’ve never had an issue with the pants getting caught in that gap. I’ll pay more attention next time.

@ForTheLoveOfSuits 3 года назад

Thanks for the information. Very interesting and a detail you don’t see discussed online. Cheers.

So many of us have flat feet according to the comments. I didn’t realize that it was so prevalent.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Thanks, Kevin! IDK how I got so lucky all these years where it never affected me before with all my other shoes.

@marclegend23 3 года назад

Thanks for the info - finally understand why I have gaps on the side. What have you found to be the most helpful to resolve the issue? Insoles?

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to solve it and had to sell the shoes. Insoles don’t do anything.

@juliandinkins3226 3 года назад

I have a normal foot and I still get the gaping sides. I’ve found that if you use a double spring shoe tree, you can stretch the leather on the sides if you’re not careful putting the tree into the shoe.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Interesting, I've never heard this being caused by the trees before.

@jonathanrobinson9208 3 года назад

What's up Vlad ! # ANOTHER ONE ! I spent a lot of money when I was young on shoes that didn't fit ( I have large knuckles from sports ) great information "each one teach one" BTW.. I like the watch strap! # watch strap gang ! LOL ! 👌❤

@Richardlizhu 3 года назад

I also have flat feet and a high instep, but my feet are also wide. What shoes work with your feet that you would recommend? I got a pair of Allen Edmonds Fifth Avenues, and I do notice creasing and bulging.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

My feet are not super wide but Enzo Bonafè, Sons of Henrey, Carmina and Yeossal work really well for me.

@XxLogo 3 года назад

Definitely something to pay attention to when buying a new pair of shoes... However, this is mainly an issue when the shoes are flat, I find most of my shoes do this when the heel strikes the ground then goes away once feet are planted

@v_r_ 3 года назад

What’s up, Logan? In my case, this happens when my feet are flat on the ground. But I’ll be making a follow-up video regarding what I’m doing moving forward.

@marcuspowell7042 3 года назад

Really like your take on men fashion. What you think about the TV show SUITS Harvey Specter. What's good, what's not regarding his wardrobe?

@v_r_ 3 года назад

What’s good, Marcus! Thanks for your kind words. Suits was one of my favorite shows, I love the Harvey character. He strictly wore Tom Ford (suits, shoes, ties) which I’m not a fan of personally for many reasons but he wore them well and they were a good match for the character he played.

@devildog412 3 года назад

always knew I had flat feet which is what got me into higher end shoes. I definitely have this gapping a bit on a pair of my Meermin Linea Maestro's.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

You think higher end shoes make a difference for your flat feet or just lasts that fit your feet better?

@devildog412 3 года назад

Vladimir Riché definitely. I started out with two pairs of cemented Florsheims and they were very uncomfortable with just a two block walk to work. Couldn’t wait to get out of them at the end of the day. Having a steel shank with a good arch support helps a bunch.

@cheukan 3 года назад

I have gaping issues on my Carlos Santos shoes in 401 lasts. I feel you bro. So frustrating to look down and see the gaping at the shoes

@cheukan 3 года назад

What shoes do you have that don't have gaping issues? I saw your collection in another video. Were there any gaping on those shoes?

@v_r_ 3 года назад

What’s up, Stanley? None of the shoes that I showed besides my Vass shoes in that video have the gaping issue. Since then, I’ve gotten shoes from a lot of different makers and most of them are fine.

@omarmahasneh1731 Год назад

I have the final answer for you! I had the same problem and after a long investigation and analysis.. figured out the problem!! The problem is that the heel of the VASS shoes is not leveled well with the sole. If you put the shoe on a table and look at the side, you can easily see the the heel front portion is elevated off the table because the heel is inclined forward/upward. When you wear them and apply pressure by your weight and foot on the shoes, the heels level with the floor creating a bending of the middle portion of the sole with the middle down and front and rear tip are up creating an extra length of the sides that can pushes them by outward. I am calling Vass to fix this problem. But the easy fix would be to add a wedge of 3 mm thickness to the frontal part of the heel to make the heel exactly leveled with the whole sole.. and VOILA! The Flat feet emphasizes this problem by creating more pressure in the middle but they are not the reason!

@v_r_ Год назад

What’s up, Omar? I appreciate the detailed comment. I also experienced a similar issue with another brand and wish I still have them so I can check but I believe you. Im glad that I don’t have to deal with most brands.

@omarmahasneh1731 Год назад

@Vladimir Riché welcome! I emailed Vass to modify the heel of my new ahoes and i am still waiting for their response.

I can really relate to the game issue, spent ages trying to research and understand, funnily enough I had the same with Carlos santos and vass (K and U last). I really love Crockett and Jones for this reason their lasts just seem to fit me well, I also find oxfords tend to fit better in terms of gaping compared to Derby’s.

@rey_s90 3 года назад

Gape*

@MikeHaggarKJ 3 года назад

I'm flatfooted with duck shaped feet and high instep. I get that gaping thing on all my dress shoes but I ignore it. I'm just happy when I find on that my thick front part fits without the heel slipping out with every step lol

@v_r_ 3 года назад

I hear you, man! Personally, I just can't do it once I notice it, unfortunately.

@galou0090 3 года назад

Mr. Riché great video! I was wondering where you buy/sell used shoes. Ebay is a no-go for me to sell shoes because I'm European, and I know about the Shoe Snob marketplace. Are there other places where a budget conscious 18 year old can find good deals on quality shoes? Also, have you considered buying boots? I'm looking at some Carlos Santos Jumper Boots in dark brown at Kostas and I'm intrigued. I hope you have the time to answer me but I know you're a busy business man so I won't be disappointed otherwise. Continue with the great content!

@v_r_ 3 года назад

What's up, bro? Check out the Buy & Sell section of styleforum.net. As far as boots, I'm waiting on Yeossal as they're about to premiere their boot collection. And yes, Carlos Santos have some good options as well.

@CiotMyster 3 года назад

@armandol1826 3 года назад

I'm hella flat footed too. I wear vans and sandals 24/7, but I live near the beach in CA. Anyways, magnanni has taken care of me so far. The carmina wholecuts on the rain last are the next cop within a few weeks. Vlad can you make a vid about socks in the future? I find that socks are the only weak link in my outfits

@v_r_ 3 года назад

What’s up, Hugo? You’re lucky to be living close to the beach. Btw I made a video on socks in the past, hopefully it’ll help. Check it out here 👉🏾 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--Yv9V_wb3Xo.html

@ermvcorleone3069 24 дня назад

I have this exact problem. The issue is that its not there when the shoes are new. They start to gape after a few months/years of wear when they finally break in and at that point its too late!

@igbokwenu4934 3 года назад

Hi Vlad, My biggest pet peeve is when getting any footwear is that I have weirdly thin ankles that cause that bloody Gaping thing for a LOT of shoes I buy! Happened with my Carlos Santos shoes black cap toe oxfords . Had to return em! And got a Forest EEE last black cap toe oxfords! The fit and they slide a slight bit at the back but I’m praying it’s a socks issue. Thank goodness I thought it was only me that had that Gaping problem with shoes! Makes a brother feel so helpless lmao😅😅😅😅😅😳😳😫😫

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Bro I was so disappointed when I found out that my feet weren’t regular LOL. I do have a follow up video coming soon. Have you considered bespoke?

@niniengineering 3 года назад

Hi, what about loafers? How they fit you? Or how they have to fit right? Because of the lack of laces. Sometimes people say, your index finger must fit between heel and heel cup, but in my opinion that ist to loose! What you think?

@motivator812 3 года назад

Flat feet can be remedied by getting measured for an arch that fits into the shoe. It's somewhat expensive and can be uncomfortable into beginning, but for no gaping, this helps.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

That's good to know, I wasn't aware of that. But at this point, I've gotten rid of all of my shoes that didn't work for my feet and just get the ones that do.

I just bought a pair of Vass shoes in F last, and while I love how they look, they're just too narrow. I have very wide, flat feet, and I don't really want to return or sell them, but even after getting them stretched for a week by a shoemaker they're still too narrow. My toes are crunched together.

@Vladimir what are some brands that are fit friendly for flat feet?

@v_r_ 19 дней назад

It’s hard to say for sure as I also have a high instep, so that changes things but I’ve been lucky with 90% of the brands I’ve tried. My advice is to try some of the Asian shoe brands as about 20% of Asians have flat feet. But definitely reach out to the brands first, maybe on Instagram to confirm. So brands like Oct. Tenth, Yeossal, Blazing Wonders, Ichigo Ichie, etc.

What’s up, Clifton? Flat feet brothers repping heavy today LOL.

@tezzapree7141 3 года назад

One thing you have missed is when the vamp is too generous leading to bad creasing and/or the shoe starts to look 'flat' after a few wears. The only pairs of shoes I have is a slightly small pair of pre-Prada Church which are no longer made and a pair of Thursday boots. I have to wear inner soles which I feel somewhat negates the purchase of good shoes. I tried to get a cobbler to insert another layer of inner sole under the ball of the feet on a pair of Loake semi-brogues but he wouldn't do it.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

I think that's usually due to wearing the wrong size as opposed to an issue with the last not matching your feet. Unless I'm wrong.

@dylanbailey1944 3 года назад

Love the tie. Where did you get it? I bought a couple ties from EG Cappelli per your recommendation. Any other makers where you can pick such a specific length and width? I have a bunch of ties from Sam Hober who can make any measurement which is nice.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Thanks, Dylan! Cappelli and Hober are 2 of the few that I know where you can really specify the details without paying an upcharge since almost everything they make is made to order. Brands like Shibumi which I love would charge extra for such a service. The tie that I got on is from Berg & Berg.

@dylanbailey1944 3 года назад

Vladimir Riché thanks for responding! Would you do EG, Hober or someone else if you want a 62 inch length and 4 inch width?

@steveh2027 3 года назад

I had the ankle gaping happen to me for the first time this year with a Carlos Santos derby on the 397 last. It drove me nuts. I ended up giving them away without ever wearing them out the house.

I know what you mean. It’s so unsightly to me that I’d be self conscious wearing shoes like that.

Hey Vladimir! I think I just found out my feet are flatter as well AND I have the protruding or higher instep! What shoes fit you again? I'll take a peak. My forefoot is wider too slightly.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

I've had good luck with Sons of Henrey, Enzo Bonafè's 946 last, Carmina Rain, Joe Works 0 last and a few others.

@MrDuojet 3 года назад

Your best video, Vladimir. I have flat feet and high arches too. Finding shoes that fit isn't easy and I've been reluctant to buy some shoes that are only available via online sales. Leaves for limited selections unfortunately. Will look into some of the names you mentioned.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Wow, flat feet with a high arch? I didn’t even know that was possible. And yes, buying shoes online is a gamble, unfortunately. Have you thought about bespoke at all?

@MrDuojet 3 года назад

@@v_r_ Yes... but the prices are too exorbitant .. have resorted to insoles instead.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

I definitely get that part. Have you inquired and if so, what prices are you being quoted? I’m only asking cause I’m going to make a video about that topic.

@BigzBird90 3 года назад

Flat footed brother checking in. I don’t have a high instep but I have my own share of weird foot problems, ie really big, big toe compared to the other toes. This always caused me to poke holes in my socks. I thought the gape was normal, I never thought about it or to look at other peoples feet for it. Now I know why... what are your top shoes/lasts for flat feet?

@jakobdieckmann 3 года назад

@v_r_ 3 года назад

What part?

@jakobdieckmann 3 года назад

Regarding the instep. I bought two pair of Carlos Santos and they have a small V. Now I know I shouldn’t worry about that too much. Most likely that’ll disappear with a few wears ☺️.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

Oh yeah for sure. The small “v” is a good thing. Thank for watching, fam.

That’s what’s up. My SoH SpTD’s are still one of my most worn shoes since I got them. Wearing them as I type this LOL. You’re gonna love them.

@DaveNagrom 3 года назад

I too have that issue with the top line of my shoes, with some brands. It is a feature that I recognize more and more. I think it makes the shoes feel loose, and look less elegant. I have given away some shoes, for that reason, and they fit better on those I gifted them to. The same goes for the facings. When the space is too big, it makes it look as if you are wearing someone else’s shoes. It makes the shoes look cheap! I do not like more than 1/2-3/4 inches space between the top portion of the facing. Any more and you are really pushing it., and the shoes are clearly too small. Thanks for making this video, it is a topic that is rarely covered with such detail.

@v_r_ 3 года назад

I didn’t realize that the issue was so widespread but the comments have proven that my feet issues aren’t so special..LOL.

@sxsw12 3 года назад

What brand would you say are comfortable out from the box?

@v_r_ 3 года назад

I’d say most of the brands that I wear are pretty comfortable from jump. Of course that’s assuming that they fit well and the last is a good match for your feet.

@bonkersblock 3 года назад

What do you think of Tom Ford suits??

@v_r_ 3 года назад

What’s up, Erik? Personally, I think they’re way overpriced. Not to mention, I’m not a fan of any tailored clothing that anyone can just tell what the brand is by just glancing at it like you can with TF. But that’s strictly my opinion. What do you think about them?

@lullemans72 3 года назад

one of the worst feeling is when you invest money in a good pair of shoes and you have a gut feeling they don't fit right but you keep telling yourself it's OK etc. this happened to me a couple of times, and sometimes it gets resolved by going a size smaller, but other times the issue is the last like you said.

@salsalaan 3 года назад

And you're right as I wear different brands different sizes like 0.5 size

My man great video as well. Maybe you should try an orthotic insole. Specifically for your feet. They will also help with your posture. And if you’ve had any knee problems, that’s what causes it.

What’s up, Michael? I’ll look into it, in the meantime, I’m also trying another avenue. Stay tuned for the video.
