super tempted on these but never had nb numerics before so i have no clue about their sizing. What if i told you i'm a 9'5 in vans pros, and a 9 (most of the times) in adidas/sb? cheers!
I’d be a little confused because I thought Nikes ran small? I wear 10 in Vans, 10 in Adidas and 10 in most other shoes (9.5 in Cons). I’d say if you have a regular fit go true to size, if your foot is narrow maybe go with the 9. But tbh I never heard of Adidas running bigger than Vans, or Nike for that matter.
P.s. these are my favorite shoes I can remember skating. I usually try something new each time but I think I’ll be sticking with these for a while.
Not to throw a wrench into this but I will anyway.
I had to 0.5 up in my 440s [Slap eBay colorway I got during the summer ] like I do with most NB# shoes.
Also, I find it interesting that some people find Nikes run small when they've been nearly all TTS for me (cup and vulc)
Well not to throw another wrench in this, but I bought a pair of the Slap lowtop 440s in a size 10 (same as the 440 high). And I feel like those run slightly smaller than the 440 high. I have a wider foot too, and I felt like I couldn’t even skate in the low top 440’s but I gave them about 6 sessions and they started to feel really good. That played into my decision to buy the size 10 in the high tops. The high tops have a more supple leather that breaks in instantly
IMO.
I haven’t had a Nike Skate shoe since my freshman year of high school (I’m 31) so I’m not qualified to speak on their sizing. Most of their non-skate shoes run a little narrow and I usually go a half size up.
TLDR; dude, wherever you buy your 440s try them on first or check about the return policy. If you don’t buy them, me and this other guy just confused the shit out of everyone for no reason.
