Can anyone comment on how 913 fit and break in? I have some extra toe space room - not length, but above my foot and toes, forefoot height - and wondering if that's normal or just the way they run/fit. Could be that these are a little too big for me and used to a more snug fit.
Thank you for inadvertently confirming that I would probably enjoy the 913. I’m always looking for a good forefoot height. So many skate shoes are designed to bear down on the top of the toes which I personally don’t like. Doubt it’s good for anyone’s feet either.
I went up to a 13, got a screaming deal, wanted to give it a shot. This review also said it was narrow and the shape tapers from midfoot to toe, too. I fit in blazer lows in a 12, but team classics in 12 my toes are right at the edge, for reference.

But was just wondering the overall fit and experience others had. Didn't know if I have a shallow (?) forefoot or something and never realized.
I'm an 11.5 but in most shoes I have to go up to 12 as my feet are pretty wide. 212s and 213s, 11.5 is just fine. A little snug when I first wear them but break in great.
I've got hobbit feet. I should wear 11 for most shoes but like snug shoes for skating.
Size 10.5 913's fit me like size 11 jano's, and 913 toe box is roomier. Nike vulc's are really narrow for me, 1/2 size up and they start getting too long.
913 forefoot seems like it has a lil more height than other shoes, just a tiny bit. The textured area is kinda shallow but not as bad as 3st.004.
My 913's broke in pretty quickly, really just walked around for a few hours and they seem flexy enough to skate. The bouncy feel of the insoles also calms down in this time. I'd probably manhandle the shoes to get the forefoot to break in more and shape the walls of the cupsole to my feet. But gonna see how walking works out.
