My First Yeezy Foam Runner Onyx Pairs and Why I Sized Down from US Size 12 to 11

These are my first pairs of Foam Runners. I've always wanted a pair and finally had the opportunity with the latest (and possibly last release) of the shoes on the Confirmed App. I tried out the size 12s but felt there was too much wiggle room in the heel for comfort. So, here's a quick review of the two sizes, their differences in measurements and why I prefer the smaller size in my case. Thanks for watching as always!

*The same recent drop in MARCH 2024 not MAY. Omg I knew I was gonna screw that up, sorry.

Dude I love your videos. You always go in depth and answer most questions a consumer could ask. Thanks for your content. Also Onyx foams are the best foams. I have 3 pair now after the recent restock

[@joshmannbroadcast]

Thank you so much! Just so many videos that don’t cover that kind of stuff so I hope this helps! Wish I could offer a bit more but I have to be in the perfect mood to record these :( … much appreciate though!! That’s awesome! I’m gonna see if brother or dad want the size 12s I have but 11 has been working great.

I’m a TTS 10.5 and last year ordered the MX Cinder colorway for both a Size 10 and 11. The Size 10 fitted too small and it became a pain wearing them after a while tbh. I got a Size 11 and they fit pretty perfectly despite a slight amount of space at the front. I feel that going a half-size up works for me and if I were to be a whole size I would go TTS, but then again there’s sizing differences between models, different materials, etc. i tried on a friend’s pair of Onyx’s back in 2022 with a Size 10 and they did fit a bit bigger and felt like a Size 11, but when I got my MX Cinder in 2023 they fitted noticeably smaller and was actually softer. There’s definitely material differences between models, specifically with the older MX models from 2021 - 2023 being softer and smaller fitting than the solid colorways being firmer and bigger, even despite the Onyx colorway having a slight MX pattern on the heel. It’s a giant mixed bag at the end of the day. Lol

[@joshmannbroadcast]

Goodness! Yeah super mixed bag! I’d say my left onyx size 11 rnr would be 100% if it weren’t for those groves on the top of the toe area that you can definitely feel rubbing on the knuckles. Without socks and with certain sock materials, it less notable or just gone entirely. Right foot had been perfect. Honestly, I think I’m leaning more into a true to size 11.5 territory from recent shoes.

Same here I never had any cause they were always resale so for the app to release me I was hyped. Mine get here today and im impatiently waiting for the fedex truck. I just want some super squishy comfy foam shoes for around the house. I wonder if you can skate in them lmao

[@joshmannbroadcast]

omg I know that feeling! And nooooo waaaaay haha

[@dio9omorais]

when walking, the foam used to rub on my ankle area (sides and back) making my feet hurt. i read that ppl use hair dryer on some areas to make it softer and it worked for me

[@joshmannbroadcast]

I could see that. Think mine would soften up overtime but not sure since they're over 2 years old in my case haha

[@joshmannbroadcast]

If anything the toe area where those top vents are could have been smoothed out so you didn't feel the grooves as much.

[@dio9omorais]

@@joshmannbroadcast i dont feel on mine, but could be because they been tru the washing machine and it changed the shape a little

[@USD2]

Yup I went a size up and the heel is trash 😂

[@joshmannbroadcast]

Yeah. I did not expect the heel to come up so much but then I thought about it and it's really because of that elongated opening at the top. Still does it in my size 11s but almost wouldn't notice it.
