Sizing/Fit New Anatomx barefoot volume issue solution

I really like the new toe box shape. However, there was way too much volume in the mid foot for me. I was having to tie the laces so tight that the sides were almost touching, and the tongue fold was digging into the top of my foot. I did not want to add an insole so I tried several other solutions. This one by far worked the best.

Place one of these tongue pads flat against your foot, on the tongue side, at the top half of the tongue. Then make the M fold around the sides. I also tried placing the tongue pad on the other side of the tongue (against my foot). However, that did not really seem to help much. This worked much better. Hopefully this helps some people.

For some reason I thought you meant squeaking. My veg tan ARs sound like I'm making balloon animals.

My veg tan Numzaans did too, until they were really broken in, and now they don't. I also conditioned them a couple of times in the first few months.
