I used to skate Cons a lot and started to notice some trends here before I stopped skating them altogether:

CTAS (chuck taylor) models: 0.5 - 1.0 size down
JP Pro models: 0.5 size down
Breakpoint Pro (discontinued): TTS
Checkpoint Pro: TTS
One Star Pro models: 0.5 - 1.0 size down
One Star CC Slip Pro: 0.5 size down
Pro Leather Models (Al D, Hopps, non Cons, etc.): TTS
Fastbreak Pro: TTS
Sumner: 0.5 size down
Star Player S: 0.5 size down

A good rule of thumb is if its the Chuck Taylor sole, size down. If it's a cup, it's likely TTS, and if it's a different sole like on the Checkpoint, it could be TTS or half down.

Now, most of the shoes that you go half down on will fit you comfortably. If you want them (in my opinion) almost suffocatingly snug, then go 1.0 size down. I don't recommend it, though. A fuller insole swapped in at the 0.5 size down would fill the shoe out better/skate better/fit your foot properly. Results may vary from foot to foot, and mine is medium, not too narrow and not too wide at size 11.

Sorry if this is unwanted but Cons sizing CAN be a nightmare but doesn't have to be

That's a sigh of relief, I bought 3 pairs to split shipping with the homies and returns were going to be painful.

These Checkpoints are extremely snug and narrow, even for TTS.

Hoping no one went a half size down lol.

I know it's first world problems but I'm real tired of this board drought. DLX seems to have slowed production considerably, there are way less new graphics being released and it's hard to find boards anywhere even on bigger online shops.

Parade has the burgundy NB# 440's at almost half price, 40$. Lots of sizes left 8-12

https://www.paradeworld.com/products/new-balance-numeric-440-skate-shoe-burgundy-grey-1-4449370701911/

Edit: added to my cart to see what skate shop they are from and they from 35th North.  Ill warn you though, the shipping is cheaper through Parade than it is if you go straight off the 35th North website.  I found this out last week when I ordered some black and white JP mids on sale and tried going around Parade and shipping was twice as much through 35th North's site

that shipping
Didn’t even check, figuring it varied depending on destination, but from the sound of your reaction, it’s not worth it.
Apologies, y’all.

got my converse box in.  man these things fit weird. went 1/2 size down and I've still got half an inch of space in the toe, but the sides are tight as fuck.  I've always had pretty narrow feet, but these are ridiculous.  got a ton of shoes to skate through first, so hopefully they loosen up as i wear them around town.

I have a pair of es like that. I couldn't even wear them as chill shoes because I was tripping on the length in front of my toes. I hope you get them to work for you.

I considered  getting a pair of those blue style 36 pros a month ago but I held out buying for full price. Couldn't resist for 40$. Im stoked
