Shoe too big advise on inserts etc

Post by postiewhite »

Size 10 is too small and size 11 is too big, no half sizes on my preferred RM trainer.
Is there anything that I can buy that will work for the amount of walking we do such as an insert so my feet dont slop around inside the shoe?

Two Pairs of socks is a good shout.

Those two are a good combo, I've gotten by far the best wear out of those, so they work out fairly economical. I ripped through all the others I tried in a matter of months.

Any sort of insole should be fine, I use these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Riemot-Replace ... 1769537031" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Far more solid than the gel types, but they don't wear out as quick.

These gel types are comfortable, but I found they wore out quite quickly.

For me the best insoles ever are skechers memory foam buy a pair if you can get away with wearing a pair of skechers in the summer and use the insoles in rm shoes in the winter.
