This was a huge help in deciding which size to keep and which to return. Online shopping during pandemic makes size selection even harder, so thank you!
Hey thank you for watching, yes unfortunately back when I made this video I didn't understand it too well. I am making the video again. Thank you for your feedback :)
I always thought you should try on shoes at the END of the day when your feet ARE more swollen, giving you a more accurate idea of how big your feet will be during exercise.
Joe Staples I guess that’s equally an option, as long as they fit. I guess trying on without doing anything versus post, is that your sure they fit and lock in the heel, whereas they still may expand in length or toes.
Should have really followed these advices. As a new runner I got eager to start and didn't read about shoes sizes before running. After a month I got significant chafing on my toes and two of them have developed black toenails.
Ouch, oh well, the lucky thing is that they will grow back, and next time you get some shoes you can do it correctly, practice and learn :) thanks for stopping by and watching.
Hi Marc! Really great content! I tried Asics Kayano 30 in size 45, both normal and wide variations. In the normal variation, if fits snug in the heel and mid foot but also snug in the forefront, so the wall of the mesh push a bit against my little toe. The shoe volume is also a less, with not as much height in the toe box area. In the wide version, I have good room in the toe box but not as snug in the mid foot and heel. The heel dont slip but the shoe still dont hug my heel to give me that snug feeling. Also, I need to use a runners knot to secure my feet in the wide version. Having really trouble choosing which one to go for :/
Cheers Andy, sometimes shoes can be a tricky business, Adidas Boston 12's don't fit perfect for me in th heel, but they are so nice to run in, that it doesn't bother me too much that the heel isn't as locked down as others.
I quite like my new balance. I've got them for cheap not expecting much. They're still holding up although I wear them most days to walk and run every now and then for the past 2-3 years? Plus they're very comfy for me so I'm very happy with those
Hi! This was super informative, thank you! I have a quick question, what if my running shoes feel loose around the toe box even though I used the thumb rule? I bought a pair of on running shoes true to my size, but I find there’s so much volume around the toe box. :(
Harleen, if your ankle and mid foot are not sliding around in the shoe, then you should be ok, and it may just be an annoyance to you. Hope that helps :)
So glad I found this video as I've just received a new pair of trail running shoes (Saucony Peregrine 10) and thought they were too big as there was a big thumbs-worth of space at the end. Happy though that they are a good size and I'll be trying these out later in the week!
Marc, It looks like I've been wearing Asics running shoes that are too small. Acording to Asics sizing, I need a shoe 1.5cm bigger. I don't run. I buy for the duomax (over pronation). If I use the shoes for walking or wear for casual wear do I still need to follow the asics guidelines for the 'running shoe'?
Hey, well when doing any form of movement, your foot will have increased blood flow and as a result it does expand a bit, so having some room for comfort is a good idea. But maybe if just for walking it would not be as important. Comfort is key though I guess.
You could try doing the 'runners knot', it's a way to tie the shoelace so it doesn't move around, I'm sure if you search on TH-cam you may find it :) I know Matt Bertrand has a great video on different lacing methods th-cam.com/video/_iUEvp4oHTs/w-d-xo.html
Hello Mark, currently I`m using the Nike aa7403-001, I have them for a while now, they are the correct size and all but it always felt like the lateral arch part of the shoe is really narrow (I noticed when I took the insoles out and seem narrower than yours), so when I`m standing it feels a bit tight in that part, I also saw in a website that these are for supination foot type (That I think I have by looking at the wear on my other pairs of shoes) but also, seems that my foot is faltter than what the wear of my running shoes is telling me so I´m not sure if this thigtness is supposed to be part of the desing, if this part of the feet needs to be supported or if these are just not for me, I want to know before I start running more consistently. Thank you!
Hey Pablo, thanks for reaching out, I'd love to be able to try and help, but over the internet is always hard, so first tip would be to go to a small running store local to you, they normally can do gait analysis and have a real good insight on if a certain type of shoe whatever will be good or bad for you. And face to face feedback is always great. That being said, if it does not feel comfortable for you, then I think that is a big sign that maybe you might need something a little different. one good way to find out how you distribute your weight in your foot is to get a piece of cardboard the size of your feet or bigger, wet your feet, then stand on the cardboard for a couple of seconds with your wet feet. You will see how much of your arch makes contact with the ground (by seeing where the water leaves a print). That may be a useful exercise for you too try. I hope that helps in some way :)))) Marc
My first Altra Escalantes were way too big for my taste but that is the size the shop said i would ride... When i got the new Boston Racers I moved a size down and now i feel so much more efficiently when running! That thumb space tho! :)
Shawn Remy haha , I guess it’s also like a bike fit. A machine or formula can tell you what is best. But then what feels best is a different thing all together. 😎
Hello sir, i purchased liberate nitro by puma few days back , the shoes are awesome. I wear UK 11 size for my regular workout shoes like nike metcons etc. However for puma liberate ,I ordered same size but the gap between my toe and the tip of the shoe is 2.2/2.3 cms, am I feeling them too long because they are thin shoes as compared to other shoes ? My nike metcons have around 2 cm gap . the pume liberate shoe, I ran 10 km with it and it was fine . My feet had a secure fit. I cannot buy size 10.5 as we dont have .5 sizes in india. and size 10 will be a snug fit may be with a gap of 1 cm i guess or even less . Kindly advise should i keep this size or return it back ? and , 2.2/2.3 cm gap is fine for a running shoe ?
So you mean sliding index finger with little force between heel and back of shoe means too big? I was so nervous when I was only able to slide my index finger behind my longer foot with some force applied, but I guess the running shoes are not too small!
Hi, I mainly use us men size 8.5 standard width (D). I have a narrow foot but I want to buy a 2E shoe, would you recommend 8.0 or 8.5 2E? I don’t know if the wide version it is longer at the front
I think the thing you want to be careful of is to make sure you can lockdown the laces around the mid foot, so it isn't slipping around, and if it has too much at the heel it could be troublesome. Can you get to a shop and try some on that are similar, that may help.
Running with Marc yeah I was trying to get the shoe only because it was prettier in another color but that can lead to injuries. Thank you so much for the advice
Hey Shannon, I would say for general gym/training activities where you are doing cardio based activities, as you are working the body and as you workout and get hotter you naturally expand (just like it's hard to take a ring off of a warm hand). However you wouldn't want to have too much space that your foot is moving around when you're doing say squats or something. I'm answering this in a really long way aren't I :P But yes I would think this would apply to training gym. Thanks for watching and asking :) enjoy the weekend
Hello,Heres a strange question. when running do you notice that your big toe points up? The reason why I say this is because I do buy the correct size shoes but it seems I run with me toes pointed up lol so where trying on new shoes they can feel a little small but I have tried your tips and all seems ok.
Hey James, can't say I have ever noticed or seen that! The big toe is where you get all your drive and stability in your push off, so it's quite important, maybe you could google 'toe yoga jay dicharry' he is a running sports therapist, he has this excellent routine to improve your big toe usage/activeness, I did it and it really was big changes just in 5days. Hope that helps :)
Hey, go to Salomon.com and find a pair of shoes, then click on 'Find your size' they have a great chart that explains. according to there chart 27.5cm long feet are.... 44 EU, 9.5 Uk, 10 US.... I hope that helps. Obviously I'd always recommend trying the shoes on first, and making sure you have enough space at the toe box.
Thanks for the video,. Very useful info, and to be honest, the way you brought up your joke was very impressively natural. I think you have great potential to grow your channel, if you keep on letting your personality being part of your instructive content :) cheers!
Hey Marc, I'm still trying to figure out the correct size for my running shoes, I have a doubt. If my feet length is 26.5 cm and the brand says my size is 10, do i need to size up (like choosing 10.5) for more room for my toes? or the shoe comes with enough room from factory? I would really appreciate your answer
Hey Lua, yes find the right sized shoe can be a tough process, as they vary between brand to brand. But what I primarily suggest is going to a shop and trying some on and making sure you have that 1 thumbs width at the end. For now, you could go to Salomon.com, open up a running shoe on a page (any it doesn't matter) and then click on 'Find your size' they have a good scale as to what you should buy depending on the length of your foot, so for 26.5cm they recommend EU 42 2/3 for mens size. I measured my foot and it is 29cm, Salomon recommend size 46 to me, and thats the shoe size I do actually have. So they have the shoe already calculated to your size and give you extra room. I hope that helps and makes sense :))))) feel free to ask more, and I have plenty more videos with other tips :))))
@@runningwithmarc thank you so much for your answer, I'm more enlighten up already, I definitely would go to a shop but since we are in quarantine everything in my city is closed. So I need to buy them online, that's why I'm so confused, I really need new shoes, the old ones just make my feet hurt a lot
Hey. My feet measures 28cm with socks. I'm planning to get the merrell moab flight but the closest available size is size 12 US which is 30cm according to their size chart. Is it the right fit for me? Or should I wait for the size 11 (29cm) to be available? I really hope you could help me
Hey, If it's a full thumbs width I think it is good. You just don't want your foot to be moving around in the shoe, so if your heal is moving around, then you may need to tighten your shoelaces a little more, or get a better fitting shoe. (mine is also roughly 1,5cm longer)
Dude, i have the exact same case as you. 24,5cm foot wearing 26cm shoes. Sometimes i feel it is too long, but there is nothing i can do since my feet are wide. Going half size down just making it impossible for the foot to get in the shoe.
Hi Joanne, I think I'm too late in getting back to you now :( As long as your foot is not sliding around in the shoe when you have them laced up, it should be fine.
Hey Oka, it's not as easy as just ordering a half/full size up, each brand and shoe is different, so making sure you have the full thumbs width between end of longest toe and end of the shoe, thats one important thing, and also that the heal doesn't move around when laced up. Hope that helps Oka
Hey, I’ve never run in them shoes so can’t fully say for sure. But I think they run true to size writhin the Nike family. So if you have Nike shoes, go with similar size. But bets would be to try them in a shop if possible.
I’m a 9.8 C in both feet i understand I should go a size up for running shoes but for non running shoes for example Jordan 1s with me being a 9.8 C should I be wearing a size 10 or 10.5 ?
Thanks for the video...I have a question, I have an Adidas running shoe,Size 10,Is it normal for it to look big?It doesn't slip off at all and is quite snug but I feel it looks kinda big ?or should I size down?Thank you,stay safe and well
Haha, I've given up on searching for good-looking shoes. They all look like shit imo anyway. I just chose the cushioning first, then form, then looks (as in least shitty). It usually works. But my feet are so different, I might need to buy two sizes 😭 This sucks donkey balls!! The insole tip is really good! I will try that one too. More measurements, more certainty. 👍🏻🏃🏼♀️
Great to hear that it may help you, and yes not great that you may have to buy two sizes. Most people have different sized feet, so I wonder when a shoe manufacturer will make it that you can buy a pair that are fo different size! You would have thought they would have done this already!
Hi Marc - thanks for this video; it's fantastic and super helpful. Quick question - one of my feet is a half size smaller than the other. Therefore, I can easily fit one finger at the heel of one shoe, and the other shoe is a perfect fit (thumbs width at toes and snug fit at heel). In this instance, what do I do? Do I go one size down to accommodate the smaller foot? Note: I tried my shoes in the morning when my feet weren't swollen.
Hey Janenie, Tough one hey!!! I think the extra room at the front of the shoes isn't a problem, and in some shoes you can slide your finger down the back, but you just don't want your foot to be sliding forwards and backwards in the shoe (movement inside shoe = blisters). So if it fits nicely and doesn't move, and you can still fit finger behind heel, then that might be ok. I think the main things are... toes don't touch end of shoe already and as previpously said foot doesn't slide around. You coul dalso try at the end of the day when your feet have expanded just as another test. I hope that helps. YOu can always ask more :)
First thing i do is remove the insole and stand on that in my socks. if i do not have a pointer fingers width from the top of the foot bed from my longest toe i try a new size. Its better to have a slightly large shoe over a shoe too small. Your foot SWELLS. Also as we age our arches drop and that can cause the foot to lengthen some.
True to size means: true to the brands sizing, so if adidas make one shoe at size 44 then people ask do the new shoes run true to size. So yes the phrase is a valid question. And for me adidas generally run true to size, whereas altra shoes do not!
@@runningwithmarc So if I am size 9 in regular shoes is therefore a size 9 'true to size' running shoe the correct size? I usually go up at least a half to one full size in running shoes. Confused. I ask because I can only order online at the moment.
I'm sorry I missed this comment. It really varies from brand to brand, so try out some of the tips I suggested, make sure you have the space at the end of the shoe if you are buying for running.
What if i got 2cm longer than my size? Is that okay? Because i bought shoe online yesterday, but the size 2cm longer. Do u have any solution?? Thanks before, great video!!
Hey, that could be ok, as long as you can got a good lock down so that your foot is not slipping around in the shoe. I would say that mine has maybe 1.5cm at the end. :)
Well then when you start running they are so loose that they slip around so much, you're in for a bit of trouble, so in my opinion, better to try and leave some space. of course you can do the way you said if you know the shoes well.
Great point! They don't need to have extra room as otherwise your foot will be moving around, but you don't want it so that it's too tight it's restricting blood flow. If it feels comfy when you try it on, then it should be fine when you run in regards to width.
Thanks Alexius, unfortunately I can't change it now, I realise that it is, it was a mistake when I first started doing TH-cam. Let me know if I can answer any of your questions.
I can make a new video, sorry about that, when I was not so good at editing. leave one thumbs width at the end, stand on the insoles to see, make sure you can't put your thumb behind your heel when tightened up.... don't want your foot to slide around. Some of the basics. :)
Hey Avin, yes I know, and unfrotanuely I can't change it now.... it was back when I first started TH-cam and didn't do things quite so well clearly with the audio levels 🙁😅

@dammnboiii I have the right same measurment (28cm with running socks. I’m not sure if I buy 11 or 11.5 size. Can anyone help?
@dammnboiii I think is safe if I chose 11.5! Thank you
I have the thumbs width at the toe, but I can also slip my finger in behind my heel 🤔 Is the shoe still a good fit?
Your heel cannot slip around... I can force my finger in behind my heel, but it doesn't slip around when I run. :)
Helpful. Thanks
Great :)
My foot length is 24,5cm and i use 26cm shoes, is that too bigger for me? Thats about a thumb and a bit more space
Hey, If it's a full thumbs width I think it is good. You just don't want your foot to be moving around in the shoe, so if your heal is moving around, then you may need to tighten your shoelaces a little more, or get a better fitting shoe. (mine is also roughly 1,5cm longer)
Dude, i have the exact same case as you. 24,5cm foot wearing 26cm shoes.
Sometimes i feel it is too long, but there is nothing i can do since my feet are wide.
Going half size down just making it impossible for the foot to get in the shoe.
For me, my feet are like 26 cm, and my shoe says that it's 27.5 cm, I only have a thumb width at the end, and for me that is an ok fit I guess.
i bought a shoe with a thumbs width at the toe but i can slide a finger in the back ?
Hi Joanne, I think I'm too late in getting back to you now :(
As long as your foot is not sliding around in the shoe when you have them laced up, it should be fine.
Do i have to add a half size up from my actual size 7 US men in order to fit? Thank you marc.
Hey Oka, it's not as easy as just ordering a half/full size up, each brand and shoe is different, so making sure you have the full thumbs width between end of longest toe and end of the shoe, thats one important thing, and also that the heal doesn't move around when laced up. Hope that helps Oka
Hi, my foot size is 25. so which size i should buy for nike zoom vaporfly next%2? should i go 26 or 26.5?
Hey, I’ve never run in them shoes so can’t fully say for sure. But I think they run true to size writhin the Nike family. So if you have Nike shoes, go with similar size. But bets would be to try them in a shop if possible.
I’m a 9.8 C in both feet i understand I should go a size up for running shoes but for non running shoes for example Jordan 1s with me being a 9.8 C should I be wearing a size 10 or 10.5 ?
If its a Casual shoe, what ever is comfortable. Remember feet expland when doing exercise
Thanks
Cheers Jordan
Awesome video!!
Thanks so much :)
Thanks for the video...I have a question, I have an Adidas running shoe,Size 10,Is it normal for it to look big?It doesn't slip off at all and is quite snug but I feel it looks kinda big ?or should I size down?Thank you,stay safe and well
If it fits well and doesn't cause issues, that's what matters. Some shows may look bigger on the outside (bigger sole, more fabric)
@@runningwithmarc okay..thanks a lot
What size do you wear in Hoka speedgoat ?
46 2/3 :D
Haha, I've given up on searching for good-looking shoes. They all look like shit imo anyway. I just chose the cushioning first, then form, then looks (as in least shitty). It usually works. But my feet are so different, I might need to buy two sizes 😭 This sucks donkey balls!! The insole tip is really good! I will try that one too. More measurements, more certainty. 👍🏻🏃🏼♀️
Great to hear that it may help you, and yes not great that you may have to buy two sizes. Most people have different sized feet, so I wonder when a shoe manufacturer will make it that you can buy a pair that are fo different size! You would have thought they would have done this already!
Hi Marc - thanks for this video; it's fantastic and super helpful.
Quick question - one of my feet is a half size smaller than the other. Therefore, I can easily fit one finger at the heel of one shoe, and the other shoe is a perfect fit (thumbs width at toes and snug fit at heel).
In this instance, what do I do? Do I go one size down to accommodate the smaller foot?
Note: I tried my shoes in the morning when my feet weren't swollen.
Hey Janenie, Tough one hey!!! I think the extra room at the front of the shoes isn't a problem, and in some shoes you can slide your finger down the back, but you just don't want your foot to be sliding forwards and backwards in the shoe (movement inside shoe = blisters). So if it fits nicely and doesn't move, and you can still fit finger behind heel, then that might be ok. I think the main things are... toes don't touch end of shoe already and as previpously said foot doesn't slide around. You coul dalso try at the end of the day when your feet have expanded just as another test. I hope that helps. YOu can always ask more :)
@@runningwithmarc amazing - thank you!
Bruh I'm form india my shoes size is 6 what is the perfect size for my spikes I'm middle distance runner can u help me🙂
Está chingona la rolita qué pusiste de fondo perro
First thing i do is remove the insole and stand on that in my socks. if i do not have a pointer fingers width from the top of the foot bed from my longest toe i try a new size. Its better to have a slightly large shoe over a shoe too small. Your foot SWELLS. Also as we age our arches drop and that can cause the foot to lengthen some.
Yes, taking the insole out of the shoes is a great aid. thanks for watching :)
Background music name bro ?
How about true to size do you agree?
True to size means: true to the brands sizing, so if adidas make one shoe at size 44 then people ask do the new shoes run true to size. So yes the phrase is a valid question. And for me adidas generally run true to size, whereas altra shoes do not!
@@runningwithmarc So if I am size 9 in regular shoes is therefore a size 9 'true to size' running shoe the correct size? I usually go up at least a half to one full size in running shoes. Confused. I ask because I can only order online at the moment.
@@TheManOnTheRail pick a size that is +1cm length than your longest feet. Perfect all the time
I use other shoe size uk 9 but i buying nike size uk 10 is best or not
I'm sorry I missed this comment. It really varies from brand to brand, so try out some of the tips I suggested, make sure you have the space at the end of the shoe if you are buying for running.
What if their slightly bigger then the thumbs width ?
As long as it doesn't slip around, then it should be ok, but try not to get too big ones.
@@runningwithmarc what do you mean by slip around? Can you explain please
What if i got 2cm longer than my size? Is that okay? Because i bought shoe online yesterday, but the size 2cm longer. Do u have any solution?? Thanks before, great video!!
Hey, that could be ok, as long as you can got a good lock down so that your foot is not slipping around in the shoe. I would say that mine has maybe 1.5cm at the end. :)
Thank you :)
Thought it would be better to try on shoes when they are inflamed so that you pick ones that remain comfortable even after exercising a long time.
Well then when you start running they are so loose that they slip around so much, you're in for a bit of trouble, so in my opinion, better to try and leave some space. of course you can do the way you said if you know the shoes well.
A very useful video!
Cheers Dan
Please tell me you're still doing fine.
Edit..Nevermind...I see you're still uploading
I am :)
@@runningwithmarc cool
Your comment warmed my heart. I hope YOU are doing well ❤
What if it’s slightly bigger ?
Hope other reply helped
Width? How tight should they be?
Great point! They don't need to have extra room as otherwise your foot will be moving around, but you don't want it so that it's too tight it's restricting blood flow. If it feels comfy when you try it on, then it should be fine when you run in regards to width.
Is he foreshadowing the events that will occur in the future?🤔
Yeah that was a little spooky!!!!
Jesus this background music is loud. Difficult to hear your awesome voice! :D
Yeah I'm sorry about that, I made this back when I started TH-cam and got the audio levels wrong!
Thanks for the info but your background music is too loud.
Thanks Alexius, unfortunately I can't change it now, I realise that it is, it was a mistake when I first started doing TH-cam. Let me know if I can answer any of your questions.
Can someone please tell me the main infos? I just can't listen to it with the music blasting over his voice.
I can make a new video, sorry about that, when I was not so good at editing.
leave one thumbs width at the end, stand on the insoles to see, make sure you can't put your thumb behind your heel when tightened up.... don't want your foot to slide around. Some of the basics. :)
@@runningwithmarc Thanks a lot! :)
Oh man the mask this guys a wizard haha
haha
lol you put that mask on and i was like, what did i get myself into.
haha Cory
salut, elle est top ta vidéo. J'essaie de me lancer en proposant des vidéos de ski freeride et randonnée, si cela peut t'interesser.
Skip to 3:20, Thank me later
Nah...the joke in the beginning kinda worth watching.
I liked your advice minus the music
Yeah, I made a mistake on the music volume, hopefully it's still helpful :)
Watching this now I thought you were serious about the mask! Who would have thought!
Indeed Jay See, ha, crazy hey! Sorry about the audio levels being a bit messes up, but I think you can get the points well :)
Running with Marc it’s a great video, really helpful! Thank you!
@@jaysee7283 great to hear, I actually re-filmd it with some new pointers, will be out sometime in the next week or so :) Have a good weekend
Running with Marc brilliant, just subbed, you too!
Music is more louder than your voice
Yes I know unfortunately it was a mistake, I added a warning after I found out. I am making a new version, coming soon.
Your feet are massive, holy crap
You just found a BigFoot!
Now everyone needs a mask mate 😁
ha, I really hit something strange there
Why the background music....its actually annoying...
Hey Avin, yes I know, and unfrotanuely I can't change it now.... it was back when I first started TH-cam and didn't do things quite so well clearly with the audio levels 🙁😅
"My feet are inflamed" ewwwww stinky
Loud music made this unbearable to watch.
Yes unfortunately when I made this one I made a mistake with the audio. Hopefully will make it better again soon. Thanks
This guy was ahead of his time with the mask
I really thought the mask was true... pandemic vibe yeah
haha
Get to the point!
David Meza hey David? Which point? Thanks, Marc :)
