The Crocket Highs have always tempted me, there have been some great colorways! As for these Fastbreaks, if you buy online I'd go a half size down from what you wear in Vans. Since they're leather/suede, they fit a bit more snug than the Fastbreaks made of that nylon material. I skated a pair of these ones tts and they worked alright, but there was a bit too much room, especially after they were broken in. I've been lucky to find pairs in my size from SPoT and NJ Skateshop recently, but their numbers are becoming very limited.
