Vans Pro Skate Sizing

[HarriSpencer]

Does anyone else feel like vans pro skate shoes fit larger than regular vans? I wear a 13 in regular vans, authentics, slips, etc, but I have a pair of the john cardiel spitfire collab eras in a 13 and they just seem big.

i feel like all of the vans shoes sizes are getting weird, i used to be a 9.5 in them  now i'm a 8.5 and theres no way my foot shrunk because all the other shoes i buy are 9.5...come on vans, get your shit together!

The Pros are a nice idea with the padding and comfort - but they never fit as well as the classics.

The classic's don't last though - the pros are better at durability, but the sizing/fit doesn't compare. It's as if you can't have the concept of padding come into the classics, otherwise you lose something in the process - this is more or less what I have found.

I just got these Old Skool syndicates, but they're a little large for my normal 10.5 size (but I've had  half cab pros in a 10, and it's too small where my toes hit the front, had to return them - having a fat foot for skate shoes is such a hassle...) - love how they skate, but they aren't as good a fit as the originals. Vans know this and loves it - their shoes normally last like 2 to 3 months if you skate them a decent amount. Just means you gotta buy more vans...

yeah, it sucks. i love how they look but have begun feeling stupid about buying their shoes when they don't last for shit and have all those weird fits. they are so fucking inconsistent with the sizes it's embarassing. some time ago i tried out some chukkas and the same size on the same model/colorway seemed to differ from pair to pair.

it's basically a no-go to get them online because the sizing can vary so much. it's a shame because old skool were once my favorite shoes. now i consider buying huf southerns instead, look almost the same and i'm pretty sure they will be more durable and better crafted. i'll gladly pay 10 bucks more for them then.

Just ordered those suckers up thar^

I hope they aren't too big.

edit: They fit perfect

I've found them to all fit the same, from the first season up until now, but i like my shoes a little snug, so i might just not notice it, ive got over a dozen just waiting in my wardrobe and they felt the exact same each time i laced them up.
