Is the consensus on the Suciu ADV sizing to go 1/2 size down?

I wouldn't.

Stick true to size. I would.

Funny, last night I skated my Suciu's I bought at the end of last summer and was thinking about at least trying on an 11.5.  There's a little more room in the toe.  I skated Busenitz ADV's before that which felt pleasantly more snug.  I really have liked all the adidas I've skated (Busenitz Pro/ADV, Ronan's, Suciu's) but am thinking about trying something else this year.  I'm tempted to check out the PJ Stratfords.  Any other suggestions, Pals?  I'm 32 and only skate cupsoles.

Stratfords are the shit. Or any NB#, honestly.

Does anybody know if the lowtop adidas matchcourt fit true to size? They look kinda narrow to me

Found a pair of these while cleaning out before I moved. Forgot I had them, think I bought these for real cheap a couple of years ago and ended up not feeling them.
They're definitely very orange, but they skate really good.

DC Lynx S have been skated to shit and goo'd up



they're about ready to send off to barney's nyc for their boutique 'distressed superstar sneakers' collection.



cheap-ish Cole Signature are up next



not expecting them to hold up as well as the Lynx... but they'll do... it's all transient anyway.

Been wearing these quite a bit since i got them. I'm not a sneaker head whatsoever so I use them for anything and are really comfortable. They def make me want to get some Busenitz boost, but are those skateable? I can see this technology being what the lunarlon is for Nike.

These were at my local for 60 bucks and they only had one pair in my size, so i was lucky. I haven't fully shreded in them yet but excited since they're my first blazers

The red/black blazers are on sale at just about every shop. Seasons and SPoT both have them on sale.

Fit question on the Lucas ADV: With Adidas goofy sizing from shoe to shoe - does it fit close to the foot like the Buz Vulc or looser like an Adi-Ease?

And does it have that weird long toe box like the Silas vulc?

Doesn't have the long toe.  I can't remember how they fit compared to the Buz vulc as I haven't had those in forever but fit tts for me.  I actually really liked that shoe fwiw

I'd say true to size... but they don't really fit well regardless.  The stiffer/thicker sprint skin feels gross compared to the Lucas Pro.  With your love of heel-lock, I don't think you should get 'em.

I had these exact ones when they first came out. I loved them. Even though they were clearly Nikes, I was stoked on them due to Nestor Judkins skating in really plain clothes but some bright colored shoe.

Thanks guys for the replies! I appreciate it. They are great looking shoes, but the heel lock is going to be a deal breaker for me.

And Art, it's funny you mention the overall fit of the Lucas ADV being odd bc that's how the Buz ADV was for me. That's a GREAT looking shoe and a lot of people love that shoe and swear by them, but I could never get that shoe to work for me and I WANTED to love it. They always felt huge on me and never quite fit my foot right.

As usual, the NB# 533 served me well. Great shoes.

Gave them away, on to the next pair. Maybe eS accel OG.

Do the NB# generally fit true to size? I just ordered a pair and I'm hoping they're gonna be the right size without trying them on in a store..

I still don't understand how people rationalize wearing a shoe with a giant block "N" on the side. It looks like you're wearing a toy on your feet.
