Most shoe stores will absolutely let you take them out if they are removable. I do this all the time. (at least here in the States). If the insole isn't removable, then we rely on different ways of measuring.
If there is a removable insole, I would take them out and see if my foot fits within the insole. Plus, it can be easier to take measurements of shoe sizes.
I was going down the stairs and I. Fell and my toes got squished underneath my foot. And my foot split in half. And now my foot is extra wide in no shoe fits me
thank you for your video.... But NOTE: the larger insole is not 100% bigger than the smaller .. what about the circumference of the foot inside the shoe? Doesn't this count also? Perhaps you can collaborate with a podiatrist to produce a much improved and informed video
Thanks for your comment! This is meant to be a very simple way to quickly check the fit. I do an entire blog post dedicated to how to fit your shoes if you'd like to check it out: www.q4pt.com/new-blog/your-guide-to-barefoot-shoes
This is rather useless cause shoes are measured by length and in your test both insoles are the same length. It depends on how the shoe is built and on the brand. Adidas website/size chart says size 39 & 1/3 is 24.2 cm and Nike website size 39 is 24.5. But even inside the same brand you have differences. I ordered plenty of sneakers and they never fit the same even though it's the same brand and same size. Basically if you want to make sure your shoes fit, try them on and make sure your toes don't touch the front of the shoe and also are not super tight that you cut of circulation. If you can wiggle your toes comfortably but still feel them securely held inside the shoe, that's your size!
Thanks for your comment! Being the same length doesn't equate to being the same width, particularly in the toe box which is were we tend to see problems. It can be easier to tell if the shoe is long enough for you, but more difficult to tell if it's wide enough, especially if you are used to a traditional toe box like the Adidas which are particularly narrow up top. It absolutely depends on the shoe and as I said, this is more a quick and dirty. If you'd like to read my blog on the subject, I go into a lot of detail on how to properly measure your foot length and volume.
@@marthatheirl1445 Thanks but no amount of blogs or detail will help here. These brands have a very illogical way of sizing their products. Unless you go to the store and try on the shoes there's no way of knowing what you buy. Online they all measure by length and some have options to order in regular or wide, but there's not that many that do that or not for all models. I think they also sometimes make it harder than it should be on their customers. Like I said... if you measure your foot length and width in cm, you should be able to rely on their sizing chart to be correct. But they aren't.

The problem some stores doesn't allow you to take the insole out 😅
Some shoes don't have removable insoles.
Just buy them, try them out on a treadmill and return them

Good advice makes things simple.
Glad you think so! Thank you!
Thank you! Exactly what I needed
Thank you because Nike had me believing my foot grew! W11 is enough! 😂

Very usefull, numbers are just a joke, each company having their own style, I belive altra trying to change the equasion
Thanks 😊

Is it possible that I could get a pair of size 8 👟 when, my feet 👣 size are 8?
do you wear the toe spacers while wearing your shoes?
I do! Because of the wide toe box they fit well for me but can also be cut in ways if you're having pinching.
How did the insole that didn’t fit fit in the heel area?
Shouldnt u have more space between your toes qnd front of the sole?
Not sure what you mean here... typically a thumbs distance or about 15mm between the longest toe and front of the shoe is sufficient.
Gorgeous ❤
Did you stay with 10.5 like your original Metcons?
Bruh, how is it 100% bigger, it looks about 5-10% bigger.
She meant “absolutely” bigger
Guy takes things to literal lol
You need to stand up too when measuring
Why didn’t I think of this years ago??!
because you were too busy with your life?🤓
With this test, I don't fit any of my 150 pairs of shoes, size ranging from 10 1/2 to 12. 😂
each brand and each model is different, you can fit 2 or 3 different sizes.
You have 150 pairs of shoes?
I was going down the stairs and I. Fell and my toes got squished underneath my foot. And my foot split in half. And now my foot is extra wide in no shoe fits me
The big toe is screaming for help! Just kidding 😅
100% bigger
It's not 100% bigger. What are you talking about?
what I meant was that you can clearly see the Altra toebox is wider than the Nike. Not literally 100% that would be crazy haha.

Doesn’t work at all
It’s not 100% bigger, or it would be at least twice as wide…
