The machine will measure the height of your arch and proper shoe size. You will receive that size in either low, medium, or high arch shoes. If you go to medical for foot pain, they MIGHT give you insoles for your shoes, but that is definitely a bad idea if you just want insoles. The guys in my division who went to get insoles all ended up getting put on medical hold for stress fractures in their feet.

I wrote to RTC asking about this, they said that you are not allowed to bring your own running shoes. So if you bring them, they will be either going back in 'the box' or getting donated.

Not sure if you found the answer to this or not; but we had quite a few people with smaller feet and they couldn't wear the designated NB shoes. No, you cannot bring your own - RTC will issue another pair (typically Nike's) if your foot cannot fit any of the smaller shoes.. one girl had a fluorescent pair of Nike's... she was constantly a target.
