I don't know about you, but I had my feet professionally measured. Feet shapes depend on what activities you do during the day. I do have high bridges.
The actual size of my Right Foot is US9.5/EEE, but I elected to run with a slightly larger pair being US10. I don't see a point in wearing shoes that are too big.
How much did he charge?

How are these looking?
Nice new tread. So what I hope to be able to do here is customize the thickness. When I did the V2 clear soles, I used to just flood the mold. What I want to do this time is work out what a part weighs and reduce the amount I pour for thinner parts.
Slightly off topic, my other future movie shoes came in today.
These are tall, really tall.

Looking at that lineup, the MAG design is really timeless. Those other designs looked pretty dated. The MAG still looks futuristic.

Cool. I like the idea of extra thick clear soles, they should last longer.
I also like all three of those shoes, but I see what MattgomeryBurns means, the Stompers are clearly 80's styling and the Air Pressures, 90's. Not that that's such a bad thing, but yeah, only in the last few years there has been a lot of shoes coming out with minimal seams on the uppers like the MAGs. Pity we don't see more with other ways to do them up than laces though.

I would buy this poster. Pity he's not wearing the MAGs.

I agree, but these V3 soles won't align properly if the base part is too thick.
I really don't like laces.

Well I discovered today that both of my right shoes (wear and display) won't light up.
I've been super busy and hadn't put them on the charger for a while.
I guess this means the batteries have died because they drained too low? What do you all think?
I put them on the charger for most of the day today and they won't light up.
I'm super bummed.

Actually... it looks like my wear pair does light up. The charger wasn't plugged in.
My display pair won't light up now even on the charger.
Guessing I need to change out the battery. I've never even tried this pair on.

At least you have one of each side of shoe that works. My attempts to repair my v4's have come to a halt until I get some more money

You get a good deal on the Reebok?

So after letting the right shoe on my display pair sit on the charger for hours last night it does indeed it appear to be dead.
I’ve never worn this pair of shoes, so I’m surprised it failed, but I haven’t plugged them in in a while. I didn’t realize letting them sit without charging would kill the battery.
I’m hoping if I order a new battery and cable, I’ll be able to fix them using the tutorial that Jedifyfe made.

Well considering how rare these are, $800AUD is not too bad. I now own 1 of only 426 pairs in the world and they are my size. I'm not having buyer's remorse with these at all.

The first cut is the scariest
After that, not too bad. Get the parts first, then get a brand new blade and stay on the inner side and you'll be fine.

Does the hole you cut make the shoe wear differently? I mean you’re not sewing it back up when you’re done, so I wondered if it sags.
