I either have to get a size 11 and my feet can slide or a size 10 and I'm cramped, they don't make half sizes it seems?

FYI, for anyone reading this:

The "model" of the foot is called a "last."

If you have a good pair of leather shoes, you can probably find the lasting number for that model and see what other options the mfg makes so you know exactly what to buy.

Sizing can (and does) vary between lasts, not only across different companies but even within the same one!

It's pretty personal tbh.

For me, Adidas Ultraboosts are by far the best feeling sneaker I've worn. So comfortable and light it's like nothing is there.

Boots? Salomon hiking boots or Redwing leather boots are what I've got at the moment but I'm eyeing up a set of Nick's that's tempting.

Can you get access to a brannock device to measure your feet? Width plays a big part in fit, not just the typical length measurement you see

What is your mold made out of?

Why the fuck are people down voting this lmao it's funny AF

I've had good luck with Under Armour so far, HeatGear compression.

I splash some vinegar in every wash and they come out odorless plus they sick sweat and dry fast, which is vital for me. Cotton holds the moisture and gets nasty

I'm going to throw the word "socks" in the mix too.

Having good, warm, WOOL socks makes a huge difference even to a mid-level boot.

Common Projects uses quality materials but I'm not sure on their longevity.

I've had a pair of Adidas Stan Smith that I've worn to concerts and in all kinds of weather, they are still bright white and I can clean them with baby wipes lol

Used Steelcase? My V1 leap has adjustable tension and also another knob that controls how far back it is allowed to lean. It can go almost flat if you unlock it
