Man that auto generated thumbnail… perhaps specify a thumbnail that doesn’t look like flipping everyone off?😂😂😂

Too bad local stores dont carry a lot of these brands. I really have to try them on in person. Sometimes a shoe just doesnt feel right and you dont know why exactly. I think Dicks and Rei have xero and vivobarefoot. Guess i am stuck with those because i am super picky about feel

Hi! I measured my feet and they are 23.3 cm as well. I went with EU38 for the Highrise Luxe (Feelgrounds) and they are great! I am now looking at the Vivo Barefoot shoes- probably going with the Chelsea Boots and the Primus lite III. However, according to sizing I should get EU39 and I am unsure if it will be too big. Do you have any experience with Vivobarefoot?

So shoe makers don’t consider space the extra space from longest toe length in the toe-box, thus having to add the extra cm to measurement ?

I have a question regarding using your 1.2cm method. I recently picked up some Primus Lites in an 11 and 12. My longest foot measures 27.8. When I manually measure both shoe sizes internally the 11 is 29.2 cm and the 12 is 29.5. What size would you go with? Thanks.

Hey! My left is 23.1 cm and my right is 23.3 cm, exactly as yours! :) (usually US size 7 in women's) Maybe we're the same height? I'm 5'4 (1m64), and you?

Do you always go 1.2 cm or maybe under or over, based on shoe insole measurements not giving you an exact 1.2 cm?
