Sometime in the last 6 months my left arch kinda collapsed. All shoes fit too tight on my left foot, since it got flatter and wider. Now I am wearing orthopedic insoles from a podiatrist, but I need new ones soon. Maybe it will be better in a few weeks if I wear these things all the time now. Still recovering from a small hip surgery and don't know when I can skate again.
As for the sizing, I am always a 7.5 US in Adidas, Vans, Lakai, Etnies, Emerica and even NB#. But all of these companies have shoes, that don't match my foot type that well. I tried to wear a half size bigger, but it is kinda too much space at the toes and feels a bit weird.
Spent a lot of time in skateshops and sneaker stores the last few weeks and very rarely they have my size or a shoe that fits my foot shape, so ordering online is the only option, although I would like to support a physical store. I am just wanting to find the ONE shoe and then order that from skateshops, that I like, all across Europe.
From NB# the 306 in a 7.5 US fit the best so far, but I would like a cupsole shoe. Some 508s and 1010s are on the way and I will see how these fit. I really like the new 600s but the mid foot section looks very snug and I am not sure these will fit my foot type. Maybe I will try them at one point in the future. The 480 in a 7.5 US was way too long for example.
