Conceptually it makes sense, however what about folks like myself who's arch is collapsing without support, making standing barefoot scans completely different than non-weighted seated scans? I did an experiment and pulled out insoles from 2 different skates that I fit very comfortably in both length & width wise (toes just brushing the toe cap, insole is custom cut and tight fitting end-to-end), and when I stand on the insoles my toes hang a good 1/2" off the end because my arch completely flattens outside the skate?! Skates do provide a lot of side to side support plus some arch support. It seems to be fixing the natural pronation I have, and as a result the foot position inside the skate is corrected, making it shorter but more voluminous. It feels like the barefoot free standing scan would produce highly misleading results for me would it not? It might explain why CCM scanner recommends size 10.5 tapered size skate for me, which is my shoe size, but I haven't worn skates bigger than 8.5D size for decades.
