How is the sizing in finn comfort; true to your normal size? Did you need a half size larger or smaller? Thanks

Steve, I think you’d need to know the size and model that is right for you before ordering online. For instance if you got fitted for a pair, but they didn’t have the style you wanted in the store you could order them online.

Some people, not me, will order the same make and model of shoes in different colors. So if you had a pair in burgundy and wanted one in black, I think it would be Ok to order them online.

Finally, I guess it would depend on their return policy. If they didn’t fit, would you be able to return them. That I don’t know.

Given the thorough measurements that were taken to fit you with the Finn shoes, do you think it advisable to purchase them online. I would be wary of purchasing shoes online as my experience has been that sizes vary widely between manufacturers and even between styles from the same manufacturer.

Another thought is I’d rather pay once for good orthotics than paying a bundle every time I buy new shoes or sneaks.

The price is in the hundreds but it depends on your medical coverage, I didn’t want to understate the potential cost.

My orthotics have lasted the 6-8 years I’ve had them and the only adjustment I had to make was to replace the sponge like foot pads once in that period of time. The work was done by the doctor and was covered by a co-pay. The heel portion, which is the actual orthotic, will last as long as I do according to the doctors.

oh… one more thing. How long do those orthotics last? I’m not sure how long the footbeds in the Finns last, but I know you can have them re manufactured by the company.

Mike, I have a good friend who is a sports medicine doc. I traded him some computer maintenance for some “shin splint” maintenance. He took a look at my situation gave me the model number of the orthotics I needed. I ordered them and they helped a little.

Likely better results were to be had from having them custom made or fit like you did. I had no idea they ran in the hundreds of dollars though. wow!

I didn’t read whether or not you ever purchased orthotics from a foot doctor. They can cost several hundred dollars but as far as I’m concerned they’re worth every penny. I used to have foot and knee problems while playing basketball and have had none since I started wearing proper orthotics and that was 6-8 years ago and I’m much older than you.
