Like your thumb, sideways, on the top of toe to end of sneaker?
Yeah that's the old school way to do it. Although, depending on your anatomy, it could be way too much or too little. My thumb is an inch wide, so I use half a thumb lol
1/2 inch of space (while standing up) between the end of your longest toe and the end of the sneaker...that's usually the sweet spot.
Your feet swell throughout the day (and they do elongate with age). That's why runners usually allow as much space as possible without compromising lockdown.
