Title: big feet
Post by: krewkruxklan on February 23, 2012, 10:45:20 AM
so how do my fellow bigfooters cope in this size 9 world?

im at size 13 but i swear the 13's out there fit like 12's; it feels like it's getting harder and harder for a brother to find a good fitting shoe-it doesn't help that i have a wide foot too. any suggestions on some good shoes for wide feet?

I've always found Vans to be quite accommodating for my big ass feet (width-wise)
The new Stage 4's width feel great & it doesn't pinch my toes or anything.

@Ripped Laces
i've always found that vans hurt my feet after a session, maybe a size up would be better for me or maybe a different shoe (eras and oldskools always lead to some sort of pain)

literally lol'd. ive found that dunks are a little wider than normal. if you got em a half a size larger than normal im sure theyd fit fine. really with foot width you just gotta see how pointy the toe is. the more rounder toecaps usually indicate a wider section in the middle. now if you want a pointy toed shoe but have wide feet, i dont know of many shoes that are really like that (maybe skytop3s) so you might just have to wear a bigger shoe than normal in that case. i can fit a size 8 (very tightly) but i still wear 10.5's because i like the extra foot room. id say my "real" size would maybe be a 9-9.5

I rock 13s.

Luckily I have thin feet.

Skate shoes have terrible sizing, it always seems like they are too small, especially in the toe-box area.

+What size deck do the fellow gargantuans ride? I currently fuck with 8.25's and can function well enough with them, but I have been contemplating moving up to 8.5.

this might be the case, these shoes definately lack toe room-but my real size is 13 and stepping up to 14 is hectic.

ohh @Strike A Pose, i skate 8.5, nothing smaller-i suggest trying it out, especially if you got big boots.

Gravis has been acomidating to this, filters where the first vulcs ive skated in years and loved em. And even better are the Gravis Arto's. Lotta support, nice and wide. For cupsoles id recomend the original Adidas Cieros, those had soo much extra rooom i had to put in another insole. Im skating Huf 1 right now and they fit all my needs. WIde, comfy, skates great rite off the bat. You can get em pretty cheap noow too, since there converting the shoe to a vulc

Gravis' run big and Chuck Taylor's (including the skate ones) run a full size larger so a 12 fits like a 13.
