My First Yeezy Foam Runner Onyx Pairs and Why I Sized Down from US Size 12 to 11

These are my first pairs of Foam Runners. I've always wanted a pair and finally had the opportunity with the latest (and possibly last release) of the shoes on the Confirmed App. I tried out the size 12s but felt there was too much wiggle room in the heel for comfort. So, here's a quick review of the two sizes, their differences in measurements and why I prefer the smaller size in my case. Thanks for watching as always!

Dude I love your videos. You always go in depth and answer most questions a consumer could ask. Thanks for your content. Also Onyx foams are the best foams. I have 3 pair now after the recent restock

I’m a TTS 10.5 and last year ordered the MX Cinder colorway for both a Size 10 and 11. The Size 10 fitted too small and it became a pain wearing them after a while tbh. I got a Size 11 and they fit pretty perfectly despite a slight amount of space at the front.

I feel that going a half-size up works for me and if I were to be a whole size I would go TTS, but then again there’s sizing differences between models, different materials, etc. i tried on a friend’s pair of Onyx’s back in 2022 with a Size 10 and they did fit a bit bigger and felt like a Size 11, but when I got my MX Cinder in 2023 they fitted noticeably smaller and was actually softer. There’s definitely material differences between models, specifically with the older MX models from 2021 - 2023 being softer and smaller fitting than the solid colorways being firmer and bigger, even despite the Onyx colorway having a slight MX pattern on the heel.

It’s a giant mixed bag at the end of the day. Lol

Yup I went a size up and the heel is trash 😂

Same here I never had any cause they were always resale so for the app to release me I was hyped. Mine get here today and im impatiently waiting for the fedex truck. I just want some super squishy comfy foam shoes for around the house. I wonder if you can skate in them lmao

when walking, the foam used to rub on my ankle area (sides and back) making my feet hurt. i read that ppl use hair dryer on some areas to make it softer and it worked for me
