general consensus is vm002's fit half a size down, and that was true for my first pair. however, i ran through them in about three months which doesn't work for me mainly walking everywhere (they are my chillers). has anyone tried getting a true to size (which is really half a size up) and putting an insole in them? I wear the remind medics and these absolutely crushed my feet with those put in (without the originial insole). i not sure if going half a size up would give my foot more room on the height.
