  Cause it takes about 30 seconds and makes sure you actually have the right size shoe.

  Speak for yourself… I use my Brannock device each morning to check my feet and see if my junk got bigger from the chemicals.

  I don’t think anybody is asking to measure his feet, but these measurement devices are practically everywhere that shoes are sold, so it’s easy to check for yourself.

  It’s absolutely not common unless you’re getting custom shoes or some other 1%er activity

    Every shoe store I have ever been to, including thrift stores, had one of those foot measuring things.

      Thrift store? Believe it or not, 1%er activity.

    Do you NOT try to fit into any clothing you buy?

    • thebestaquaman@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I never buy clothes online, exactly because I always try them on to check the fit before buying them. I haven’t measured my feet since I was around 15. I know my foot size, so I know that shoes in the range 42-43 are a good fit, depending on the shoe model. I don’t need to measure my feet when I buy shoes to confirm that they’re still around size 42.5.

      I mean, your feet typically don’t really change size after you grow up? I just buy whatever size I last bought.

        Depends on if you get into barefoot style shoes or not.
