Just arrived last night. I confirmed the fit by lacing them up tight and taking some steps in my house. It's my first time with the 55 last, and anything with this kind of arch support. Can't wait for this to begin so I can wear them at work!

Why I own this

Ready To Wear
Workplace Needs

I needed some supportive footwear for working long hours on flat concrete with repetitive heavy lifting. I've never tried anything like this 55 last before, but after working for a couple years in barefoot shoes, I realized I was probably punishing my feet pretty often and just suffering through it. So, my plan is to find a balance with the barefoot stuff for play, and the arch support for work.

How I sized

55 Last: 9.5EEUS Men's Brannock: 10EEE

I watched several of Frank's youtube videos, Facebook forum recommendations, and I lucked out finding a retail store where I could try on some whites in a 55 last, and discovered I could go down a full size from my normal shoes. I ended up in the 9.5EE, but I could probably do a 9.5 EEE or have a wider toe shape, but they will work. I'm accustomed to poor fitting shoes because I have duck feet with a long second toe. I'm a 10EEE in Brannock. Wear 10.5 in Vans Old Skool, and 10.5 E in most shoes.
