WHAT SIZE SHOE ARE YOU? (TOP 5 TIPS!)

Seems simple right? You went to the mall and they used the metal device on your feet and told you that you should be wearing a size 10, so for the last decade, that is what you did, no matter what, you got a size 10 sneaker. Some sneakers that are a size 10 however are too wide, too narrow, jam your toes, or feel like you are swimming, ironically you still make the same mistakes over and over again, call it muscle memory. Well, its time to rethink your actions! Here are my top 5 tips for those that need help deciding what size shoe / sneaker they should be wearing.
Although these tips may seem like common sense, hopefully you can utilize them and get a better fit to your sneaker choices.
My Top 5 Tips for helping you choose your sneaker size:
Tip 1 - Measure your feet! Get a Brannock device here amzn.to/2jJjqbT
Or my measure stick here amzn.to/2jJjqbT
Tip 2 - All brands are not created equal, sizes vary, even if same US size listed.
Tip 3 - Considerations! Sock sizes will matter, do you want relaxed fit, and the "rule of thumb" for some added space at end of shoe.
Tip 4 - All feet are not equal in length! Measure ur feet and see! Make sure u buy sneakers with the larger foot in mind.
Tip 5 - Ask around! See what others say about the sizing!, But remember, not all people fit the sneakers the same. Width, length, arch, etc all can be different depending on others feet.

[@maxaj6116]

I have da same issue as u .. till this day i dont know if my true size is 9 or 9.5 smh .. sometimes 9 is sung and sometimes 9.5 is too big .. so ordering an expensive sneaker online is a dilemma for me lol

[@kalvin7230]

MAX AJ same with me. Especially with Jordan 1s some fit loose some fit snug. Have you tried replacing insole with a thicker one for the bigger fitting shoes?

[@AndresMonroyEntrepreneur]

Happens me all the f** time.. sometimes o buy a pair i think it feels ok and then after 3 hours of wear i want to throw them through the window of my car... Its a shame in my country u cant just go back to the store to return it like in the US.. if i choose wrong im f**ed

[@kathykaura7219]

In my country, finding any information that even half way resembles the truth is always a gamble. I don't even know if I can trust the dem size table on the "official" Nike web site. I own a pair of Turkey's biggest outdoor name brand, Greyder, in size 41, and then some Asics in 42.5. Then I'm hearing that Nikes run small. And just jumping in a car and going to a Nike store is not an option for me.

[@UserG-fv1vd]

MAX AJ As you get older will your shoe size increase?

[@blig5031]

Same here

[@dank5434]

Love these videos! Also love your top 5 tips for a smaller or bigger shoe, just used one of those tips for a pair of shoes and it helped a lot! Keep up the great vids!

[@JacobZiggy]

I kinda like the further out angle because it puts a good focus on the shoes as well!

[@heskicks]

Jacob Zillinger noted thx

[@supersaiyan805]

This was hella helpful thanks a lot bro. And close up is fine man. Really however you wanna do it is cool. Your content is always great!

[@BlaznAzyn]

The rule of thumb was something when I was a kid. Just to prevent me from growing out of them too quick.

[@_rae_rey_8840]

Awkward...

[@SorinVBogdan]

The problem with recent knitted performance shoes like Lebron 15, KD10 or Hyperdunk 17 is that they'll feel tight and narrow out of the box, but after playing in them a couple of times, they will stretch quite a bit, maybe even to half a size up. In Nike casual shoes, I always wear size 11, but in the above mentioned basketball shoes, I gotta go to 10.5 because of how much they stretch in width over just a couple of games.

[@FreshKicks3]

Great video bro...Very helpful for those people who are new and those old sneakerheads as well...

[@heskicks]

Jon Martin thanks!

[@alexmathewmendoza]

I feel like being closer to the camera and creating that nice bokeh effect in the background gives the videos a more professional look, and it also highlights the purpose of the channel with the shoes in the background.

[@kssnyder2]

Whenever I sold shoes and we had that fancy foot measuring device, but we never used it because no shoe would fit in the size we would measure people. NONE. The size discrepancies between brands is insane, up to a size and a half in some cases.

[@ivanzuniga5005]

I went from a 6 in Nike and I needed new shoes so I went to footlocker to try an nmd size 7 and it fit perfectly so I decided to try a 7.5 and it had the thumb space

[@lansunrise]

Awesome. one tip i was looking for, how much space should be left at the end of the shoes. I bought a pair with a thumbs width, but i wasn't sure if I was getting them in the right size. You confirmed it for me. thanks.

[@Birnie98]

lots good to me man! and thanks for retweeting my tweet yesterday i found that very cool!

[@micheleramia7359]

Really good common sense logic. I wish you made a boot measure video. I have wide feet, but a boot 9 w was still too small. I wear a shoe 8.5 w. struggling with online Uggs. I live in Hawaii..no ugg boots selection for me to TRY. Great video, thanks doll. Hard to find a ugg in 9.5 wide.

[@RishiRich23]

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK💯

[@Skidztheguitarist101]

I tend to fluctuate between 10 and 11 ‘U.K. sizes’ again, depending on what you’re using them for and different brands.

[@dejanborges8302]

Thanks for being positive good looking out

[@heskicks]

cheers!

[@jamesparker224]

Another good tip for determining the correct shoe size for you is to try on your shoes later in the day (evening) as our feet expand and swell throughout the day and that will help with finding the best size.

[@melvyntan1273]

The closer look of the video is awesome brah🍺😊👍

[@annalizaembree5201]

i think its better when you are closer to the wall like you showed us for a short moment in this video. great job. God bless you

[@saulgoodman2018]

Measuring your foot doesn't work. They don't take into account the thickness of the materials. These companies measure the bottom of the bole, not the inside. So they con be a 2 or 3 inch difference. And different brands fit differently with the same size.

[@balinho73]

Further man, is nice to see well the kicks in the back Bro

[@SuperJojo46]

Thank you for the tips yo! I always have troubles with my shoe size.

[@broadwayjoeclub]

Tsuyo Yuki how do you have trouble with your shoe size?

[@SuperJojo46]

Not exactly my shoe size because I'm a 10. But I meant with different brands and what not.

[@ericlindegard2202]

Very helpful thanks. Just bought a pair of air max 90 blue today. Went a half size up and they fit perfect

[@jasonp2174]

But airmax 90 is not a comfortable shoe, I returned it on following day

[@Mr.Feanor]

​@@jasonp2174 Fit dude...fit...not comfortability 🤦‍♂️

[@sunzofman940]

Size 11, my older pair of Asics Gel Lyte 3's fit snugged no wiggle room. Brought a new pair of Asics recently went up to 11.5. I just hope the 11.5 doesn't look long on my feet being 6ft tall.

[@jetsteele3075]

I like the blurred background. Easier to pay attention to what your saying. Top 5 kicks that chicks really dig! My experience is kicks that have little to no hype...would love to know your thoughts.

[@rualo]

sup hes, I think further back gives the video a better overall look imo. but the money you've spent on your camera setup is paying off for sure, dope quality.

[@mokuho]

Thanks. For 52 years i buy wrong size! I need to left one thumb Front... 🙏

[@pabloantoniosantiago9317]

Thanks for the tips!

[@Crashoverride1234]

The thumb rule is also important because of the shoe is too small and your toes push against the front it can compromise the shape of the front of the shoe and stretch it. My ASICS material is ripping from my foot busting through it.

[@thebest-de8of]

a little further just little is perfect

[@ProjektONE]

I think a bit further back and some bokeh with some dim lighting (HUE lighting) in the back to make that bokeh pop would be dope. The bokeh is pleasing to the eye and adds a bit more to the production.

[@FightMang36]

The thing about the fingers width is its not for everybody cause sometimes it compromises the support or snug feel around the ankles n ur feet could be sliding around and heel slightly lifting out. To me just aslong as the big toe has enough room even if it a little bit or half fingers width is good enough for me.

[@edwinmoreno1409]

It's better when you're closer. Plus the blurry sneakers look dope

[@MsDJDaze]

That's a great place to stand for videos, as opposed to further.

[@lukalr9569]

So if you're wearing that 10 JUST GET THAT 10 Y'ALL!! :D Nice vds Hes luv your vids as always

[@MultiRayman98]

KG

[@nickf8524]

Go to fleet feet and get your feet scanned for measurement. They have a 360 electric scanner from your ankle down that gives you a graph like something from NASA. Super helpful & surprising to know how they are truly shaped.

[@malfoy898]

Didn't know about the rule of thumb bro, good to know! I'm 11.5 but imma start buying 12's

[@carolinojed]

Just find your middle point for example size 9 and go half or full size up or down depending on the shoe and comfortability and your set from there. Its really not that difficult.

[@edlaw2957]

I think the blurred background and you being closer gives the video a slightly more professional video. Really helpful video man. Thank you!

[@georgekangrosenthal1673]

Ed Law can you check out my first KZbin vid plssss it's of my NMDs

[@matttheknicksfan]

i havent gotten my foot measured in years cuz im pretty sure my foot stopped growing(hopefully). i wear a 9.5 but i get a 10 in shoes ik ill hoop in and it fits perfectly.

[@magdrives]

Good video even on year 2022, that 1 thumb rule is what i always follow eversince. Not so good for creasing but i feel its the most comfortable

[@smallnuts2]

hey man, need some advice. what about ark? I have flat feet and thinking about trying the ultra boost. but maybe I may need to get custom arks done for my flat feet to put in a shoe? it seems the ultra boost is the most comfortable shoe according to reviews and comments but.... isn't the ultra boost a running shoe? I heard a running shoe is lighter and bend easier and a walking shoe is more comfortable because it's heavier and doesn't bend as much. I like the running style though. if NO on ultra boost any everyday walking shoe that has that running style? lime maybe balance, puma, sketches? Seems walking shoes look more dress up and i wear jeans and shorts all the time.

[@hastensavoir7782]

11 for most (Reebok Classic, Nike Miler React, New Balance 580, Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66, Sperry, Skechers Go walk). Size 12 for Jordans, Converse Chuck taylors, Champion. I ordered a Women’s model New Balance 574 because the Standard mode felt too wide for me. Also, a 990V5 in size 10.5 and NARROW width because they say it wears BIG.

[@zohcold]

i say lights off in the back just cuz the blinking effect makes me lose focus of what youre saying but maybe thats just my adhd. lol great vid overall! thanks

[@gauge-vx4wq]

This confirms thing cheers homie!

[@mattesvenne856]

bought nike air force 1 mid. was about to return em cuz i thought they were too big but then after this and many other videos i learnt that basketball shoes are supposed to be like that

[@Striderthedripper_]

Sometimes it depends on the shoes also . Sometimes they run small and sometimes they run big

[@nicelady3887]

great explanation really i love it God bless u thanks a lot

[@yonyfans]

I like the new setup

[@Frost-1209]

People say it's thumb size but it's technically 10~13mm based on the Podiatrists. That is optimal space for the wiggle room. Measure heel to toe length and add 10mm to the longest toe of the longest foot of both feet.

[@Jon_Villanueva]

Thanks very informative👍👍👍👍

[@swegboii6447]

14 and size 9. I'm hoping they will grow bigger

[@skilled46]

I range from a Size 9-10 :) Depending on the shoe plus I like wearing thicker socks to keep my toes warm lol for example on a Yeezy V2 I'm a 9.5 and on a Ultraboost I'm a 10 but a Roshe I'm a 9

[@electromenzgd2962]

Hey! I think we wear the same shoe size

[@bobbygostanian9948]

Further I like I the focus on the shoes too

[@patrickyudkin5222]

Definitely further.

[@joncromer9509]

I wear 9 in all of my Jordan's, comfortably. Is a 9.5 going to fit me in Yeezy 350 V2 in Beluga and Blue Tint? They are on their way to me now, just not sure if I made the right decision on sizing.

[@kaebiz6607]

Bro it’s a pain in the ass getting the right shoe size sometimes smh I’m a or 13 or 14 depending on the kick style.... ain’t no way around it like u said just gotta do the research on it? 🤙🏽👌🏽

[@arrocoorimo]

I'm liking how that bokeh looks! are you shooting with a prime?

[@katz021]

this video was very helpful.

[@dubssalamander]

Looks good up close

[@lania3717]

The thumb rule is for running shoes. As in actually running in them. If you're just going to flex in them half a thumb is good.

[@quinnbriere2694]

Liking the close camera angle

[@patrickstar5328]

you could move slightly further back like you were at 0:50. also you could centre yourself a bit. audio sounds much better than it used to as well!

[@Aries1rbh]

US Men's Size 13 for most shoes. I have found that it also helps or hurts with replicas.. Few replicas are made in size 13 or bigger. Nike Foamposites seem to fit small but I heard that Air Max 97s run big.

[@tylerb4994]

Everyone has different answer to what “True to size” means! I’m 24 years old and up until 23 I was a 10.5. Now I’m convinced I’m a size 11. Size 10.5 my foot fills the entire shoe, my toes aren’t curled, but there’s no extra room. I know that’s better for creasing but comfort is huge for me and I just recently started copping exclusively size 11 and have size swapped the most important shoes in my collection to size 11. But to this day I’m still not sure what my true size is, to society I think I’m an 11, but I bet alot of sneaker heads would tell me to cop 10.5s 🤦‍♂️

[@tylerb4994]

Ps your right, my left foot is like, idk, a centimeter bigger than my right 😂

[@colinhoffmann9742]

i feel you man! when i look at the nike sizing chart i'm an exact size 10.5. for example trying on a new pair AM1s my feet fill out the whole shoe, little to no space in the toe box. the shoes feel like too narrow on the widest points of my feet (especially the right one). i have the feeling that the sole underneath is too narrow. when i go up half a size however i have like a thumb room in the toe box, but the whole shoe feels to loose overall. it feels comfortable when sliding in but does not feel like my feet are locked in place correctly. the ankle is moving, i can move the front part of my feet easily underneath the upper. the only way to stop this is to wear thick tennis socks and tighten the laces like crazy.

[@brandoncooper987]

Tybetts same

[@EvanLikesCake]

Tybetts go get your feet properly fit

[@Beskar181]

Good point! I like a little room so i can add a crease preventer and still be comfortable. I can fit sz 11 but I get 11.5 so its not too tight and leaves some room for the crease preventer.

[@marcomundo7276]

Ditto.. online is hard to order correct size. Jordan sizes vary from shoe to shoe - even if it is the same model. I've tried on two different pair of new york 3s from different stores and they fit differently. You really need to try the shoe on before you buy. But, I Still buy from stockx all the time because I can't find the shoe or shoe size I want. Most times you can always re-sell the shoe. A thumb width in the front is way too much room for me. I trip all over the shoe when I play with a shoe that is too big. I usually want half a thumb's width room in the front part of the shoe.

[@AlexGArcia-xh7th]

started paying attention to the way I look an really started to car just bought a pair of air forces im a size 10 but got these a size 9.5 however my heel slips out a bit? going a size down was too tight what do you suggest I do?

[@supa6692]

Very informative vid bro...

[@Noor-qb6me]

I have so much trouble finding my shoe size!!! When I buy heels and boots I always get them in 37, but for sneakers 37 is too big. When I get converse 36.5 is good, but with my nike flyknits 36.5 is a little uncomfy but 37.5 is too big. Same with my adidas gazelle, 36 run small but when I try 37 my foot slips out when I walk. Ah the dilemma!!!

[@hugo77095]

Man I love these subject videos ! I've always ask myself questions about shoes and you've seem to be making videos on the topic ! Keep grinding on the videos and content. Love your videos bro and wish you and your wife and Son a great day and hope everything is going good with you and your family !

[@georgevyzas8526]

Hey man, I am thinking of buying a pair of 2007 Bape X DC Comics bapestas. However, it has been too long since they got released and I cannot find a reliable size guide. I wear 10.5 in US sizing. What size should I be looking at for Bapestas?

[@codeknight7]

Which brand of sneakers are good for flat feet i were like a size 10 1\2 or 11 i bought dome today and the dont fit i have been struggling with this for years.

[@caligulajodorowsky]

You're right, my feet are different. One has the thumb on the right side and the other has the thumb on the left side *mindblown* Jokes aside, a single foot can change size during the day, your feet swell noticeably if you sit down for too long without moving, if you walk standing up without walking this also happens. This is why the rule of thumb is important.

[@joseleon9348]

I want to know if the fitting from the lebron XI SFG is the same as the Lebron XV. I am size 11.5 in my XIs should I buy the XVs the same size?

I have extremely strange problem) Ideal size for me is 45.5, but in my city it’s unreal to find my size always 45 or 46, I bought AJ1 High in 46 size for the first time yesterday and I hope that it will fit)

[@taypkaz]

Good video, came here cause im wonderin what shize should I wear? My size differs from shoe to shoe. Like I cant wear the same size of converse just like my running and/or basketball shoes. Ofc i want my converse or shoes that are similar, to have little to no room, my bball/running shoes to have more room, and my soccer cleats just a litte more tight (it will stretch eventually giving more room.) So yeah, I just rember my size in cm. Adjust a size up or down. Depnding on a shoe. P.s. not a sneaker head but lately it bothers me. What really my size is? I used to buy 9s, but now I buy 8s and even 7s on converse allstars. Also i lost a lot of weight, I dunno maybe my feet lost it's thiccness, too. Haha

[@so-cal3987]
