The Pickup

Another Pair, a New Size

I recently bought another pair of Air Jordan 1 Lows, specifically in the 'Flight Club' colorway, to see if switching from a size 9.5M to 10.5M would alleviate the foot pain I've been experiencing. So far, I'm happy to report that the larger size has made a significant difference.

 

Size Matters

The Right Fit

• → No More Foot Pain — With the 10.5M size, there is zero foot pain. The previous shoes were simply too small.
• → AJ1s Don't Stretch — It's crucial to wear the size that feels comfortable from the start. Try them on in the afternoon after some walking, when feet are at their maximum size for the day.

 

The Importance of Comfort

What Was Going Wrong

• → Uncomfortable Shoes — The 9.5M AJ1s, along with Court Vision and Converse, were causing real misery. Going up one size made all the difference.
• → Width Over Length — The difference between 9.5M and 10.5M isn't substantial in length, but the width is what really matters. Tight shoes had caused calluses and corns, likely stemming from a problematic pair of Adidas shoes the year before.

  

Lesson Learned

Don't Compromise on Comfort

The biggest takeaway here is clear: don't mess around with uncomfortable shoes. Finding the right fit has transformed my experience and alleviated a lot of unnecessary discomfort. I'm looking forward to enjoying my Air Jordans without the hassle of foot pain.

Size	Comfort	Issues	Verdict
9.5M (old)	Poor	Foot pain, calluses, corns — too narrow	Too small
10.5M (new)	Excellent	None	Right fit

Try sneakers on in the afternoon after walking — feet swell throughout the day and that's the size you'll actually be wearing them at.
