^Starting to think NB has some kind of crazy club-foot last.

^Starting to think NB has some kind of crazy club-foot last.

For those w/ wider feet, they are ideal.

[cricketclub]

^ That is not my experience with the 212. I also have the 440 and it is definitely not wide.

If you went down half a size on the 212 and it was too short then you should have gotten TTS.

I followed Rothdigga's advice and got a half size down for a pretty good fit. I probably could have gotten away with TTS but this is prob better. I'm really a vulc guy anyway. I'm not exactly sure whey I got them.

440 is TTS but snug.

Ordered 868 and some PJ Ladd' s.. 50% off
 I had no idea about sizing so I went with what I wear in Adidas seems about right.

Only skated the 868 briefly seem like they will be very once broken in....
quality on both seem top notch..
originally bought the second pair to get free shipping but will be keeping both

Are the 868 over and done with?

[close]

868's aren't totally over and done with, but they aren't part of the assortment anymore.  But we will bring them back for special drops from time to time.  But once the Tiago drops, anyone who was an 868 fan should be able to jump right into those and be super stoked.  His shoe is amazing.

Good to hear. Ever since I heard the possibility they were done I’ve been hoarding, up to 12 pairs now. Slept on the surrey colorway unfortunately, won’t do that again if a new one drops in the future.

Does anyone know if the 440 will come out in an all-white colourway again? I missed my chance with the last white/grey option and my girlfriend shut me down on the Tom Knox colourway because of the colour pops (shes probably right anyways)

does anyone know if an online shop might still have the white colourways?

Funny, my wife tried the same. She now admits that she was wrong after they broke in.

[jay_nev]

Wish those Tom Knox 440 were still on NB website, got this coupon set to expire.

[moonordie]

Before I could choose any NB#, now that I moved back this damn place has ZERO shoes... Not a single on won the damn nb webpage... </3

Tactics has our Spring 2020 all white (with the tan leather heel tab) in full sizes.  They also have the Knox available still in some sizes...show your girl that Thrasher cover he got in them to sway her mind!

I think im set on these and also a pair of Emericas (after GREEN)! The stock photo wasnt selling me on the blue and brown but the tactics photo is way more realistic and I love them.

Usually I do a 10/10.5 in everything else. Mostly skate Vans in a 10. Should I get 10.5 in the 440?

Go for 10.5

The 913 in a 13 felt too roomy in the toe.

Will I be okay with the 440 in a 12?

[cricketclub]

The 440 toe is not roomy in my opinion. I wear an 11 in sb dunks for example and the 11 in 440 is the correct size but has much less toe wiggle room. Hope that helps.

thanks, yes! Saw your previous comments in the thread about the toebox height and shape as well. Have you tried the 288 to compare?
edit- just grabbed 440's for $45, customer service combined my rewards (that had just expired), i'll take it, great CS.

[cricketclub]

288’s are roomier in the toe. I’ve got that pair on ice rn but I’m hyped to skate them later.

So NB makes a high top cupsole Blazer for J Crew?

Has anyone skated these?

[jay_nev]

Two new colors of 440 not on nb site yet

Wasn’t someone asking for white?

Please don't try to skate that JCrew shoe, it didn't come from Numeric.  Quoting my boss just now..."it's an old shoe and would skate like dogshit".  We have much better versions coming out.  A new mid in July and the proper hi-top I alluded to that hits in Nov.  Just being honest here.

eyy thank you! Too bad SPoT doesnt ship to Canada. Now im torn between those and the white/brown/navy

[jay_nev]

Sizing got me frustrated. Both size 12’s. 913 Green and Nike Sb blazer gt low tan. These 913 look like a friggin 11 just by eye and measure WAY shorter. Never mind the flat toe. Because this is an older colorway, has sizing changed since then? Thought I might’ve read about that.



12 in the 440 felt fine when trying in, a pair of those will be here Thursday

[jay_nev]

Size 13 versus 12. The 12 looks like a kids shoe

I just skated the 913 and 440 - I normally wear an 11, but in numeric wear an 11.5 in everything but the pro court which is TTS. Basically, you'll need to half size up (but I know most places don't make a 12.5 so could be tough).

for sure, yeah 12.5 doesn’t exist in skate shoes. Same with vans. 13 feels a bit too roomy but I’ll have to adjust.

I have some 440's coming tomorrow and hope they work out.  I've ridden Adidas exclusively for the last 5 years, but wanted to change it up.

All the sizing talk has me fucked up, but as someone who fit tts in Busenitz Pro's, I'm hoping I'm ok.

I wear a 10.5 in busenitz pros and 10.5 in the 440 fits me perfectly. Both of these shoes are my go to cupsoles.

I'm actually the same in these two shoes, but I also find that I need to go .5 size up in the Busenitz.

So 11 in normal shoes, but 11.5 in Busenitz and 11.5 in 440.

Just got these today.  Feeling comfortable in my true size.  They seem lower profile than the Suciu ADV's I was on the last couple years.  Hoping they bridge the gap between vulc and cup for my 36 year old knees.

[jay_nev]

Well my 440’s arrive tmrw from Ontario, Cali so time will tell. I’ve fit in the same size busenitz but didn’t keep em

How long did yours take to ship from order? I ordered my 440's last week and still haven't gotten any shipping info but just got an email today saying they're looking into it.
