Post shoe measurements. Find out how low to the ground shoes are - Page 3

Could people re-measure using the new methods? The ruler method was far too unreliable and inaccurate.

I think shoes should be new as well. Shoes lose cushion over time, and at different rates, so I don't think it's a good idea to measure used shoes.

I will try to remeasure with the new methods once I have the time. I have a pair of new shoes that I could measure.

Here's something I was thinking about: Should I take measures both with and without the removable insole on shoes that have a removable insole? I'm just thinking that the insole is sometimes soft, which might affect the measures and that some people pull it out and replace it in any case. It seemed to me the video of RW showed them measuring it with the insole removed.

You can if you like. I'm not sure it's necessary, as most people play with the insoles in.

As long as you only lightly touch the insole, instead of compressing it, the measurement will be fine.

I have a digital micrometer, micrometer and bar clamp arriving tomorrow. I will compare them for accuracy. Hopefully they all bring similar measurements.

Another one bites the dust. Micrometers can't be used.

I was hoping a 75-100mm micrometer could be used. However, the rod only lowers from 100 mm to 75mm.

A 25-50mm micrometer or lower doesn't fit on the shoe.

The used Gel Game 3 is 0.3cm different from the new GG3. This highlights that shoes lose cushion over time. The used GG3 has 17.5hrs court usage and 40+hrs walking in them.

If you have any new shoes, or shoes with very little usage, please post them using the new measuring methods.

To all readers. TW are asking for feedback. If your interested in this thread, please consider asking them to measure heel height, or heel drop.
