Don’t know if these are numeric or not but they are clean.

Probably been asked a million times but the 440 highs, true to size, or do i need to size up as previous in numerics?

They are tts, or possibly half size down.

Is this different from normal 440's? I have some that that are a half size up and they fit great, might have been able to go TTS, but I can't see going down a half.

Any update on when the 272 comes out in the USA?



Was suppose to be shipping out to shops last week, but I think they’re still having troubles getting it off the docks. Same goes for a lot of other shoe companies. Hopefully see them in shop in the next week or so, because I’m wanting a pair of 272’s myself

Yeah, I’ve had probably 8 pairs of the lows and tts is always right, skating the Tom Knox rn in my tts size, definitely felt a bit bigger/loose. I’ll find out soon anyway since I’m buying a pair a half size down.

Anyone tried the new foy slip ons?
[close]

i got a pair, probs the comfiest slip on i’ve worn(didn’t fuck my achilles up like vans do). the insole isn’t as thin as most nb shoes like the 440 or tiagos. i haven’t skated in them too hard yet, just some slappy seshes but i got no complaints so far

came here to ask about these shoes, been meaning to get a pair because I normally skate vans slip ons and they're killing my feet more and more plus I don't mind giving Jamie Foy my money. My only question was do they fit true to size or specifically in comparison to vans? I run a 10.5 in vans and my local doesn't have them so was gonna order 'em online.

Working on getting Centre some of these for the launch.  I'll let you know but it's a SUPER limited run of shoes so there won't be a ton available but we should have some up there.

Still stuck in Port.  We're trying to launch this early Sept.  I just skated that new park in Huntington Sunday and the shipping containers now extend far down the coast below HB.  It's insane and doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon.

Breaking these in walking around, super comfortable and one of the coolest looking shoes I've ever owned. Still think they're gonna be a bit too bulky to skate. Might grab more 440s soon.




Bronze shoes look cool, hope there's some kind of video piece to go along with the release...


wheee!

It's on the NM868.  It was our "tech" shoe for a while until the Tiago came around.

 I'm having pretty much the same thought process, at least i managed to scoop my tiagos for 50 though. Also that wheat colorway is dope enough to not skate, idk if i can say the same about my white/gum ones

Is this an inside joke about the shoes being stuck at the port?
take what small comfort there may be left

Question, I’ve had 3 pairs of the 440H Tom Knox (black leather), they are much roomier that 440 lows, and fit my feet very well. I can even put a thicker insole in.

Has anyone owned a suede version of the 440H, I’d like to know if they fit as generously compared to the lows, or if they fit more snug due to the material. The idea of suede just feels bulkier to me.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: LOL @ the post above me
