A 0.5 up in Tiago is a MUST for me.
Tiagos are largely TTS for most from what I've seen. A lot of NB shoes run small for some reason.

I reckon the size you skate in cupsoles (generally) guides you for what to get in the Tiago.
Slim foot = TTS or 0.5 down. Normal to wide foot = TTS or 0.5 up.

Yeah I'm not sure that this shoe can have a general half size up/down/TTS recommendation, the advice i've seen is all over the place. I like your recommendation but my foot goes against it lol. For example I would say I have a wide foot/large instep, I usually wear a 12 in nike/adidas/emerica, and i've had to go 11.5 in Tiagos every pair i've had. 4 pairs, all different combos of leather/suede/mesh. In other numerics I've had like the 508 and 533v2 I had to go to a 12. Maybe I just have weird feet

Great. Thanks Both. How's the fit on the 440s?

I wear a US 10 in every major brand, they were boats in the 440s, heel slip and too much room in the toe (length) skating a 9.5 and they're perfect.

Given the odd/variety of sizing/fits of NB# I have no clue how people say any of their models are TTS; I would never suggest mail order. Head to a shop and try them; and while I appreciated the variety, it's murder finding a proper fit model to model otherwise.

US Size 10 (NIKE, Adidas, vans emerica, etc.):

1010s 9.5 too short/tight, 10 too long/heel slip

440s 9.5 is perfect (love this shoe) if not just a hair longer than I prefer but certainly not a full size.

255s 10.5 is perfect

Foy/306 9.5 just a bit too tight, 10 too big (damn near same shape as the 255s)

272 10 too big, like huge, did not try a 9.5 but my guess is it would have been good

[LebowskisRug]

I wear 440 TTS and tried on 1010 today and felt that the 9.5 was a lot better than the 10 I had before.

[Clock3rs]

Hey folks,

I see sizing is big issue in NBs.
I bought a pair of 272 and skated through them in an 11. Perfectly fitting, still lasting since 3 weeks now.
Looking into the bear future, I wanna skate them again so I bought in the same sale the exact same model and color (272, orange/Blue).

I ordered 2 sizes to check again. Neither 11, now fitting too small, nor 11.5, slightly too big, are fitting as the pair before, which was absolutely perfect.

Anybody having the same issues within the models? Is that like a QC issue? Skated Nikes before for years and I never had these issues before. I bought an 11.5 and it fit like a 11.5 in Nikes.

Frustrating.. I thought I’d have found the perfect pair of skateshoes for now

[Ok]

For me it depends on the materials. .5 down and it’s pretty crammed, tts and I can lace it pretty tight and then remove the shoe without untying, too easily. Shoe is a back saver tho, and Tiago goat

Is there a 4/20 colorway of the #420 this month? These are probably the only vegan cupsoles that don't hurt my feet. Shoes are either too long or too narrow, so I rather stock up on what I know works.

There is a 420 coming, but like everything else, they’re delayed. Hope to have them in shops by 7/10.

This is why they have my support - you feel like you're buying shoes from real people!

[jakeumms]

I did not know 7/10 was a real thing but yep it is

It's OIL upside down. As someone who used to smoke concentrates, I had to look that up.

[FatGuy92]

I see some NBs on sale at my local. Do the NM212 and NM306 fit TTS? And are they really narrow? I had 420s before and they hurt the sides of my feet a lot for skating, but walking in them was totally fine.

[DanRar009]

Seen an all white leather with green accents 1010 on Tiago’s story, anyone have any info on them?

[freidnly guy]

Do the NM212 and NM306 fit TTS?

No 212s fit 1/2 size large. Some say 1 size large, but I'm on the bigger side of 12 and 11 1/2 is good. They are wide in the toes.

[SaySo]

Did a search but didn't find anything conclusive on the NM 508s.

Do they fit TTS? I'm usually a size 8 in Adidas but I saw 7.5s and 8.5s online for a decent price.

Would anyone care to share their overall experience with them? I've only had the first PJ's, the sizing was weird, and the soles wore out super quick. Are they durable?

[MonsPubis]

Saw these two new Tiago colorways some shop in Australia has

The 508 felt TTS to me and I would say they were a lot like the 440 in fit but had a midsole and more padding, which is my main complaint about the 440. I love the board feel but as an old dude they can make my feet sore after longer sessions.

508s were the first pair of NB Numerics I tried. I'm normally a 9.5 in Nike SB, but this shoe clued me in I should probably go a half size down for New Balance. Little roomy, but not completely unusable as a 9.5.

First thing that jumped out to me was the board feel. Seems to have struck that magical balance I had been looking for between board feel and cushion, where when you take a step you first notice the cushiness and comfortability, then when you put more weight the foot you go through that layer and get a feel for what's underneath your feet.

I've kept those 508s regularly in rotation for about 5 months now, with 3 other pairs of shoes, and they aren't showing any big signs of deterioration yet.

Cheers! As a fellow old dude I appreciate the feedback regarding fatigue after longer sessions. Have you always used the stock insoles?

Your description makes them sound like a Goldilock's of shoes. Thanks! I usually don't rotate shoes so that's probably why I burn through the soles more quickly. Probably also the midsoles lose their resiliency.

I have to wear 12 in most Vans as I have wide feet but 212s in 11.5 are perfect.

tough. I like how classic NB “dad shoe” they look. if the dude behind the grill is wearing these they are not fucking around.

[apport]

damn that is a nice colorway of the 1010's, but i wish it was a little off white like the ALD 550s
