And none of this is going to tell me for sure that those
shoes/insoles/whatever are going to feel right when I run. No matter how
perfectly they fit my foot, it's (also) how they feel after I've been
running a while. It's more than "fit" it's structure & padding & design.
I can wear & walk just fine in "running shoes" that I can't actually run
in.
