Common mistakes to avoid
If the answer looks strange, the most likely cause is a small input mismatch: the wrong unit, date, weight, scale, mode, or policy assumption.
- Do not buy from the estimate alone when fit matters.
- Do not ignore shoe width and shape.
- Use the manufacturer chart because brands use different lasts.
