swift 1.5 just brings back so many good memories with its design
I have a pair. They're honestly nicely made and really comfy, but they're friggin' huge. True to size length wise, but there is so much space in the shoe that I can't wear them without cinchin' 'em down to a degree that defeats the purpose of wearing a retro-inspired shoe, so they're just floppy chillers for me.
sounds like you got narrow ass feet hahaha, do you fit well in ctas or other cons? cause es and other shoes with wide toe boxes fit me great but I can't make any size of cons fit me well at all with my wide ass feet
Not super narrow at the forefoot, but my ankles are skinny and my instep (top of the foot) is low. I can wear CTAS (a full size smaller than what I measure) but they’re not really my speed for something to skate in. But yeah, the extra room I’m describing in the Swift 1.5 is all in the ankle/top of the foot zone.

I had the opposite experience with them. True to size for me.
I have an oddly shaped boney foot, wide across the forefoot and toes with very narrow ankles and achilles.
Most every shoe I buy I have some heel slip in, but with the Swift 1.5 they fit comfortably snug on my feet with no heel slip issues while breaking them in (which didn't take long). I usually like skipping the last lace eylet and I never felt like I had to lace them all the way up to the top to feel secure.
On the contrary, I bought a pair of Accel Slims at the same time and skated them before the Swift 1.5. That shoe has a lot of weird negative space on my foot. Accel Slims I definitely had to lace all the way up and crank them down tight.
Also, the sole on the Swift is amazing for a cupsole. Supply grippy.
