Got some Blazers on sale. Went with a 9,5 instead 10 like last pair. Seems like Blazers loosen up a decent amount.

Came across these at a Nordstrom Rack today for $30 and couldn't pass them up. I'm pretty stoked because I've been wanting to get this colorway for a minute anyway, so the steep discount was a bonus.

Has anyone skated the 3st.004's yet?  I'm really curious how they skate and how they fit.

These shoes are great. Although the boost in the heal is nothing like what you get in a UB. But it looks dope. Cutting the inner tongue straps is a must. Adidas size so weird

^Dude! You have mad thick feet/ankles. The tongue being so far up from the rest of the shoes gives me anxiety.

It’s much worse than I had after my leg surgery when I had a mad swollen ankle for months!  :o

Looks like you’d have double or triple insoles there or some shit.  ???

I cut the tongue straps as well so that has something to do with it.

Those are slick. There’s a park in Williamsburg that is wonky and awful but charming in a way too.

How do you determine your shoe size? I wanted to get an official measurement to see if I’m an 8.5 or 9, I went to Dicks sporting goods Vans and Foot locker and all three said I’m a 6.5/7. The thing is I’ve been riding 8.5/9 for the last few years. Are my feet just wide? I had to stop skating 8.5 Old Skools bc I was getting a bunion.

There really is no official standard. It might vary between different models even in the same brand. Best way is to try them on and make sure there is enough space between your longest toe (which may or may not be your big toe) and the end of the shoe. You must perform this test while STANDING bc your feet are bigger when standing. Also don’t try on shoes in the morning, wait until the afternoon or evening. Your feet swell a bit throughout the day.

It’s also good to take note of the general shape of your foot so that when you look at shoes top down you can quickly gauge if they will fit your foot right or not. Some shoes are boxier and some have more pointy toes.

Let me preface this post with the fact that I am slightly inebriated, very uneducated and I havent read any papers or done any research at all, or read your post really.

Yeah that’s what they used on me but none of them really took the time to measure my width or arch, sorta hard to try to do it yourself and read it.

I will say be wary of advise you get from skaters as many wear shoes that are too small. Conversely runners often wear shoes that are a bit big. I have no idea how to fit into vulcs, I don’t think there is a single one on the market that feels good on my foot. They always seem so long and pointy but if I size down they cramp my toes. Cupsoles with toe room and a boxy silhouette fit my feet much better so I run dunks.

if you go to a proper running store they will measure your foot correctly

Cupsoles with toe room and a boxy silhouette fit my feet much better so I run dunks.

This plus the advice above about measuring feet correctly is top notch.

As a whole, skaters seem to favor shoes that are too small. And it’s a mistake. I did it. I did it for soccer/cycling/life. Wearing a shoe a little bigger feels weird for a little bit, but goes away. Your feet will be significantly less damaged as well. And you will thank those that lead you to bigger shoes when you are older (you won’t, but you’ll wonder what the fuck you were thinking with smaller shoes once you are forced to change by old person foot syndrome).
To those that think they must have the smallest shoe for performance: nah. Try skating without socks, or with those absolutely DISGUSTING looking/feeling toe socks. Amazed at how that helps to feel more connected. I don’t do it often because both are gross and now I just wear bigger shoes and don’t care, but both methods do have positive performance attributes for me.

im guilty of going a half size down for skating. i can't skate comfortably with any room in the shoe. a nice tight fit makes the shoe feel more like an extension of my foot.. almost like a glove. no bunions yet.. but i do wear bigger shoes for everything else and don't really wear my skate shoes outside of skating.
