this video speaks to me bro. last time I tried salomon's, it was the quest 4d hiking boot, and I couldn't even get my foot in past the ankle because it was so narrow. I've traditionally been doomed to wear those terribad white fake-leather 4e clodhoppers, but something in the design and fit of uppers changed drastically in the last couple years, and suddenly a world of regular width shoes actually make it on to my foot, instead of just getting hung up at the mouth of the ankle. also I haven't had the benefit of regular footbeds in probably 15 years because my arches collapse if I look at them funny. the whole "step-in/shoestore-only" "comfort" gets completely disregarded by default because I stick something else in there as soon as I get them. if I'm honest, it actually has been an interesting experience trying all these new shoes because the footbeds stay as a constant (to the aftermarket ones I use), and I can really experience the differences between different shoes' midsoles.
I think comfortability comes from how much you notice the shoe is on or more the components of the shoe, the less you notice it... including while running...the more comfortable it is.
it's a very vague term, which is why I don't like to use it. Some people mean how plush is it? Some people mean how good is it for casual wear? Some people mean how roomy in the toe box is it? but sometimes, it's the word that just works.
I hope that as shoes become more and more specific, we get more tailored fits. You might only have one or two shoes that fit you, but they would fit you perfectly.
Ha ha! Pants means underpants in the UK :D Anyway, good video on a very relevant topic! I research all of my shoes online and, to be guaranteed that I'll then get that shoe in my size and colour of choice, it's just easier to buy online too. Here in the UK we don't have (at least in my experience) brand superstores such as Nike, Adidas or whatever. Instead we have big chain stores like JD Sports that stock a bit of everything or smaller specialist shops with limited stock. So there's no guarantee you'll get what you want if you rock up. Online tends to be cheaper but the trade-off is that you are indeed buying blind and risk having to faff about with returning goods (sometimes at cost) and buying again. Through this often arduous process I have learnt that CONSISTENCY is actually more valuable than "correct" sizing. For me Nike are the only brand that are consistent AND true to size (I'm talking shoes only). Must be their superior quality control over items sourced from different countries. If I buy my size 10 I know they'll fit. I must admit this partially explains why I'm such a Nike fanboy. Adidas are usually a half size up, although their consistency isn't 100%. In my experience Asics are all over the shop. Nike tend to be wide, Adidas narrow, although for me width seems to have no bearing on the size I need, but then I have narrow feet. I just go with the "rule of thumb", i.e. having a thumb's width between my big toe and the end of the shoe. The only caveat to that rule is with racing flats and faster models, which I have accepted tend to be slightly more fitted.
I have a wider foot, bought the turbo a month or so into production and it fits great. My favorite trainer (unless I want to go slower) to date. Zoom fly flyknit has a narrower fit for me. Maybe give the next version of the turbo a try.
You’re talking about casual shoes, so only you can answer that question and the margin of error is much more forgiving. If you think it’s comfortable, then it’s good.
I always try it on at a store before I order online to minimize the hassles of returning back and forth, not an easy thing to do with international orders. By the way I usually wore size 8.5 but for Peg 35 size 9, and size 8.5 for Turbo. Interesting, you said just the opposite of me.
Pro tip for the Peg Turbo's, the reason your toes are being squeezed from the top is due to the thick insole Nike puts in them. Stick a slimmer one in and the issue should go away. :)
I've tried walking around in them without the insole, and they felt great. But the seam connecting the midsole and the upper would have been too troublesome to run in.
@@kofuzi I know from a previous video, you said you like to stick to the factory insole, but in this case, it's worth sticking a slimmer one in there as it'll alleviate that specific issue with the shoe.
@@kofuzi I actually stuck an old pair of Nike insoles in mine because I had the same issue. In terms of new ones, I'd probably look at the Superfeet Run Comfort or the Run Comfort Thin. I know their site has a store locator so I'd say find a store who sells them and take your Turbo insole with you to see which one you think would be more idea for toe height. The best part of those insoles is they will outlast your Turbos so if you end up wanting another pair, you'll be all set.
since your handle is socraticMind89, i will approach this socratically. your premise is that everybody is different. what then, do you tell the person at the store when they ask you what size you would like for a shoe you want to try? do you give them a number? or do you ask them to give you a random sampling of shoes and just start trying them on until you find one that fits?
I would be nice if there could be a Universal shoe size standard. I use the length of my foot (27.5CM) and apply that to the shoe companies sizing guide and have been successful.
My true foot length is a 9.5 but I can rarely fit into that size unless the shoe is wide. My feet are on the low end of being wide. 90% of my shoes are 10 although most of my Nike's are 10.5. The odd exception is the Pegasus Turbo, which fits me much better than the regular Peg 35 which I find too narrow at size 10. But the Peg Turbo fits me really well at size 10, although the toe box is shallow which doesn't bother me for running but I think would annoy me if this was a casual shoe. Like you, I tried a size bigger and my feet were swimming, so I'll live with the shallow toe box. Oddly, in Timberlands I need to size down to a 9, and even then there is enough room for some thick socks.
that's interesting about your Turbo experience. I don't know if there's really a pattern or if I'm just making it up, but it seems like smaller sizes, like mine, seem to run small. but the larger sizes, about 10 and up seem to be "true to size" or even a bit big.
I typically get the same running shoe size in most of my videos. the best thing that you can do for your foot is to get it measured at a running store. although some people do have to switch sizes between brands or between models, for the most part, shoes are true to size.
How did you find the sizing; I wear an asics size 11.5 and have no Hoka stores around me. I am wondering if they fit true to size or should i upsize or downsize?
I finally figured out why I wasn't loving the Vomero. It does not follow Nike's 'tradition' of sizing compared to the Pegasus, Zoom Fly, Vaporfly, etc. Ever since I switched from 10.5 to 11 in both New Balance and Nike my feet soreness, toe soreness, and black toenails (I know, nasty), all those issues went away. So naturally going with an 11 size Vomero would be the right call. Wrong, Vomeros seem to be sized bigger than others, especially the room of the toe box. At any rate, I'm exchanging them for a 10.5 and hopefully, that will make big difference. My two cents if anyone was wondering about the Vomero sizing.
Funny you actually mention the Peg 35 turbo. I have US 9 for all brands with two exceptions: the Nike Pegasus & New Balance. Pegasus: all versions (27-35) except v34 I had to go 9.5. For European people I can only say: European sizes are not a good reference. Even though I'm European, for running shoes I never use them. A US9 can be EUR42, EUR 42.5 or EUR42.66. A US9.5 can be EUR42.5, EUR42.66 or EUR43. If I order a 42,5 and the tag mentions EUR42,5/US9.5, it's too big...
Adidas doesn’t even have a “true to size” within their own brand. I think their footbeds are the same size, so the casual shoes with stretchy uppers feel really lose compared to performance shoes with no stretch.
thats funny, I just got a pair of peregrine 7 ice+'s. I'm normally an 11.5/12, but had to buy the 13 and it fits like my old 11.5 4e new balance cross-trainers.
neutral refers to whether the shoe has stability elements in it. most people are neutral runners. but for some people, the way that the foot strikes the ground, it can put extra pressure on the ankles. the current consensus is that having shoes with control elements or having certain parts with stiffer cushioning in them will alleviate these problems.
In one season I have purchased and run in three different Nike running shoes: sizes 12, 12.5, 13. And don't get me started on clothing size changes (by all manufacturers) LOL . Happy New Year!
Muhammad Zul Fahmi I would say true to size. It just depends on what type of foot you have and what shoes you put on. Like me, I have a long and wide foot, so I normally ALWAYS need to go up a half size to a full size up.

everything i own is a 9 but that size in the zoom fly flyknit was just way too constrictive for me, had to go up to 9.5
how do they feel up top? extra room between your toes and the front edge of the shoe?
Same
My actual size in nike is 9.5 us, but in adidas my size is 9.
That's the difference between the two, the shoe vendot told me that tho
I've run in the same size 9 between both brands

Never understood "true to size" i wear 9 in asics and NB but a 10 in nike
do you have extra room between the front of your toes and the front of the shoe in Nike? just curious
kofuzi if i buy 9 in NB and asics i have room in front of toes. If i buy 9 in nike i dont thats why i need to buy 10s
@@kofuzi I noticed that over the years Nike has really made their shoes narrower.
I have af1 size 10.5 but is usually wear size 10 and i can press my thumb between the tip of my shoes and the tip of my toe. Is it fine?

Feedback from the Turbo seems to be all over the place
Hahn Joh Same for me. 9,5 for Peg 35 and Epic React but 9 for Turbo. The Turbo is a bit snug in the toe box though.

I'll take a look
The only shoe I've had to go a size up is Adidas Boston 6
Good to know. The Boston is a shoe I've been eyeing for 2019
The only shoes that I have had to size up is the Adidas Yeezy 350 V2
Really?
Did you put the laces Through the Wire properly?
I hear the new versions are better, faster, stronger.
I wear a size 10 hokas and a size 10.5 in the zoom fly flyknit
That's makes sense to me
I dont know much about fit true to size, it means you wear shoe size based on your actual size??🤔
There is no such thing as true to size!!! Everybody is different, you just got to try it on and break it in

I always have to size up in my asics gels
Interesting.
Hi, Jami so what is ur actual foot length? How cm room for toe box for jog?
I’m a size 9 for Jordans and most of all my sneakers but for running it’s usually a 9 1/2

close. but maybe not exactly first.

One size more for Asics, Adidas, Salomon and 1/2 more for Americans shoes Adidas, New Balance etc... 🤣
A full size up? That's quite a bit
kofuzi yes for french size shoes 👟
Adidas doesn’t even have a “true to size” within their own brand. I think their footbeds are the same size, so the casual shoes with stretchy uppers feel really lose compared to performance shoes with no stretch.
Although there still is too much variation within the footbed too.
I don't have much experience in adidas, but that will be something I keep an eye out for
The only brand I can buy blindly at my true to size and never have an issue is Saucony. I've never not wore a shoe by them that isn't true to size.
thats funny, I just got a pair of peregrine 7 ice+'s. I'm normally an 11.5/12, but had to buy the 13 and it fits like my old 11.5 4e new balance cross-trainers.

@@kofuzi so its not actually about the fit of sizes.. thank you for the explanation..
I usually wear a 10.5 or 11 depending on the shoe. I wear an 11 in these shoes.
do you notice any patterns with brands? or is it shoe dependent?
Usually shoe dependent. BTW, wildwest1 is my alter ego. :)

What brands do you not go up a size in?
Clifton and salomon😅
Ah. Makes sense

I'd say UB are true to size, but if you use the sizing guide in the Adidas website, it will sometimes tell you to size up. Or size down. It's weird.
Thank you for the info guys!!
