the 508s were... disappointing. the shitty abzorb insole with how crazy low the heel support on them was made these shoes really disappointing based on all the good things i've heard about them.

To each their own, they're my favorite shoes in years, since DC Mikey Taylor shoe. So much so that I just ordered another pair. I found the burgundy ones for 30% off.

Shorts only for these summer months, but cargos are definitely the look. Would look a bit off with slim jeans I imagine.

I like em best with a baggy dark wash denim. Beef and broccolis + baggy black jeans has been my favorite, just like the man wears em

Super impressed with the white and gum 1010s. Very solid and sturdy with nice materials and not as bulky as I thought. They fit pretty TTS for me too which I want expecting. Same size I as a dunk. I have a feeling there will be more in my future.

How do these tend to fit?

I'm technically an actual 11. On the narrow side. But as is typical wear 11.5 in a lot of athletic shoes. Currently wearing nike sb team classics in 11.5 and they're perfect. My local shop no longer carries NB and I want to snag a sale shoe online but am not sure

Whats the word on the NM213 in terms of size? White with a touch of mint looks too good to pass on, wanted to get a pair for me and the misses who just started skateboarding but shopping for women's skate shoes is tough, anything smaller than men's size 7 is tough to find.

I usually wear a .5 size up in NB, but the 212 and 213 are true to size for me (only shoes in the line up like that).

Same. I'm an 11.5 but have wide feet so often have to size up half a size, but the 212 and 213 fit great at 11.5

Finally caved and bought some 1010’s. I must say they are much more comfortable than dunks. Only took a lap around the shop so far but I’m feeling good about them.

The geriatric walking-shoe off-white/ecru/butter 440s with the blue look so nice. Gotta get a pair.

Also been really wanting to try a pair of 1010s but am worried that they'll be too bulky and can't decide if I'd size down or not. 440s fit perfect in my normal size

1010's are not as bulky as they look. They're an incredible shoe I'm on my 5th pair in a row. I went a half size down than I wear in vans/nike.

just copped my first pair off the sale gear thread.

went tts to my size in the 440, seems to be the correct choice but could have possible gone half size down, but I think once i swap the insoles ill be good to go. They are not really all that bulky. less bulky than tyshawns for reference.

Not really bulky, and a lot less than they look in the product shots. The toe is very low and not puffy.

I tried a half size down since they didn’t have the right size at that shop but it was way too crammed for me, my toes would pretty much hit the front. This is of course individual to everyone and how shoes generally fit them, I have definitely worn a similar half down size in Dunks and Vans before but in hindsight they have been what I now would consider too small and in my opinion the 1010s are true to size. No heel slip issues or anything like that, they are specifically designed against that and feel great.
