BAZINGA[TK] Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Since the deposit is in I have turned my immediate attention to everything else I'm going to need. I'd like to get in on their Sept wave (although one more month would be fine I just want to get things done in plenty of time.) Everyone says to get one size bigger. OK. If I buy a regular pair of shoes I usually end up with a size 8. If I use one of the old school measuring things at the shoe store my toes are at 8.5. I have to squeeze orthotics into whatever I get. It's not an option not to or I will be trooping for about 2.5 minutes at a time. So size 9 because there is no 9.5 or ramp it up to a 10 which seems like will be way way too big. Anyone else stuck with orthotics or any opinion? I'm online now asking about shoes. Never saw that as a thing in my life. Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZINGA[TK] Posted August 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Yeah it's my orthotics that concern me. They can mess with inside spaces in footwear. I don't want to have to start trying to remove parts of the boot or the orthotics. More half sizes would have helped so really in an in between spot.

BAZINGA[TK] Posted September 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 I have boots. Right now feeling a bit PTSD over it and the disco flashbacks. I ordered one size larger as per everything I read and I think I could have just went with my normal size. They are a tad big but my orthotics fit in fine and that was my biggest worry. I don't think some gel inserts will be a bad idea so the extra space will be good. I have a blaster too, but am too afraid to open the box. It's getting too close to really feeling real now.

Doggydoc[Staff] Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 Awesome. Open the blaster and run around the house going pew pew pew. I think we all did it at some point 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
