Imperial boot sizing

[BAZINGA[TK]]

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.

A few threads on the subject, most go for a size up

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.  Bart

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.

Awesome. Open the blaster and run around the house going pew pew pew. I think we all did it at some point
