Post the shoes you're wearing.

*excuse my shitty brand writing on my soles.

The kalis lite is pretty comfy and skates really nicely to me. Sizing on all these legacy series shoes is a tad small, maybe consider going half a size up but I didn’t and they still feel great.

Btw the Dr Scholls insoles where you stand on the machine to find your custom size are the fucking best.


These have been my “chillers” lately
Straye, runs true to size, not small like the DC.
Comfy too.

Also my Hupper 2 Hi's should be here sometime today.
Merry Fucking christmas TO ME!

did they leave the censor on the black and white pair ?

Damn, pick me up 2 pairs of the yellows size 9!
Good deal, everyone's gonna be going HUF crazy in 6 months trying to find them.

slip on pros with game changer insoles

sometimes i really like ugly shoes because it means i dont give a fuck about trashing them right away.

this is my first time trying non stock insoles and its kind of weird.

Once you get used to the true feeling of your arch supported, you won’t ever wanna go back to stock insoles. Unless you happen to have arches that clash with game changers haha.

Nah, i dont think adidas fit small, altho those fit smaller than any other shoe from the skateboarding range. I go half size up on those and they still need some break-in period.

When I did skate adidas they always ran big, had to always go 1/2 - 1 size down no matter what model. It’s been years tho so things might have change...

[cosmicgypsies]

every pair of adidas skate shoes. i've had have ran small. im usually a uk 7.5 and the states i was skating previously fit a little bit loose, had some adi ease before that and they fit tight at a 7.5, janoskis before that were tts, somehow had to full size up on the busenitz at 8.5. got some other random adidas for chilling that are an 8 and they feel kinda loose.

fucking sizing mangggg, not complaining though probably gonna snag a second pair as they fit really comfortable, flick good and at £24 a pop its a no brainer.

That is weird, do you have a wide or narrow feet? I have a very wide feet and I skate us8 on es (accel, sesla, swift), nike (blazer,janoski) and vans (half cab, old skool and authentics) and last time I got those buse vulcs they were 7,5 and regular buse too, on campus some were even us7 and fit snug... things might have changed tho as my latest pair of adidas was atleast 5yrs ago...
Oh, and my all time fav shoe from adidas, silas 1 were us7,5 too

Ha! This is the only shoe where that happens. I used to wear a 9us in everything (nike, soletech...), in adidas I need a 8.5 on most pairs and some I would even go to an 8 (city cups and maybe 3st's). This buz vulc is the only one I still wear a 9us.

so basically what you're saying is Adidas run half a size small except the Busenitz vulc

Half size big, because I need to go smaller for them to fit properly.
I can see why people also size up on the regular Buzenitz, I had a 9 us once and they skated fine but they bagged out a lot and now I have 2 pairs in a 8.5 which I prefer.
I must say that my feet is on the skinnier side so always try the shoes on if you can.

They are, but I feel like Converse is even nuttier.  I’ve found that the one stars and ctas’ run a full size too big but the breakpoints are a half size small.  How the fuck does that happen? 

If they are going to fuck up the sizes, at least pick one or the other God damn it.

Sadly not, the leather's on the toe, heel, and some other places. The rest of the shoe is this lighter material that doesn't seem like it would last, especially for ollies

Nice socks Nopes. I love Ian and that shop!

what are those socks and where can i buy some?

Those Fastbreaks are lovely.

Does anyone know how the sizing is for Lakai Fremonts? I usually wear a 9.5 or 9 but the only pair I want is 8.5. Is it going to be too tight?

I'd say TTS if your size is limited by length. I wear 10.5 in all(?) Emericas and Fremonts in 10.5 fit me nice. They are more spacious than the Reynolds G6 for example but I don't think I could fit a 10 at all cuz that'd be too short. They have a rather wide toebox and generally just look wide and short and blunt and weird on your foot. It's a strange fucking shoe. Looks much better in pics than it does on foot IMO.

Some sort of a disclaimer about my sizing:
I have some size 11 Vans and Hufs due to them being so narrow but 10.5 seems more consistent for me if it's not a very narrow shoe. Some size 11 narrow shoes I've had have been great out the box for me but stretched so that they're a bit too big afterwards cuz the length is too much.

Got a pair of these on sale.  They look great, especially in those colors.  Sadly, the ollie hole blows out after 2 or 3 sessions.

Thanks for the info! I was all hyped on that shoe too. Maybe I'll go to a shop and try it on.

I’d get a half size up from your normal.  Converse sizing is fucking wacky.

I just ordered a pair of those TTS, but with the red logo and heel. Hopefully they fit me lol
