Do you REALLY know your shoe size?

[DWFII]



In the future I will take note of the heel to ball measurement. I wasn't aware of it. I have a high instep so I think that may be the cause of my fit issues. The ball of my foot is probably a bit closer to my heel than the average person.

In truth there is no "average person" or foot. Each has its idiosyncrasies.

And that's where the problem lies becauseshoe manufactures are determined to fit that illusory "average" foot. Bespoke makers see all the people that cannot be fit by average shoes and/or who have feet that cannot tolerate an improper fit at any age. Wide forefeet/narrow heels, long toes/short toes, high insteps/low insteps--stock in Trade.
