I did a few volumental assessments at fleetfeet and they have helped get me great running shoes. However, I would like to be able to look at shoes online and at least get a sense of what works based on my own feet.
Alternatively.. my feet are between E and D but I have a very large instep and ball girth so a lot of shoes tend to feel tight around the instep. I don't see much online for how to choose for this issue. Any guides that help with it?
any online tools for narrowing down shoes based on your own measurements?

1. Read the shoe reviews. Chances are someone either is going to mention tightness on the instep or something related.
2. You could try skip lacing to alleviating pressure at that specific tarsal.3. Remove the insole. It’s just there to cover the stitching and any padding lost is nothing compared to the actual foam in the midsole.
4. You are going to be hard pressed to find a major running shoe available in an E width. 2E is standard “wide.” That is going to be appropriate for you with certain models where the last is narrower.
