I had 913's, and found them true to size. A little bit snug/narrow in the heel and mid-foot, but they stretched a bit, and would have been too long in the toebox if I sized up. For reference, I also wear an 11 in most brands, wear cupsoles exclusively, and found NB# 440's and 420's to fit a half size too big.

I want to try something different and my local spot is thin on inventory to try on.

Does anyone have firsthand experience with the 913? I want to try a cupsole and it’s the 913 or the AVE pro. My local shop has no NB inventory in my size. I normally wear an 11 in Vans, do I need to size up the 913? Thanks

I didn’t like the 913 at first but now I wear it to work everyday because they are so comfortable.

Only the NM212/NM213 are the ones you need to get 1/2 size SMALLER on. Those are on old lasts from the 1970's court shoes they're patterned after, other than that, it's just a matter of finding what shoe works best for your foot shape. I'm stuck on the 440's and 288s right now personally. But there's a hi-top coming in Nov that is calling my name....shhhhhh.

[close]Are the ankles on the 213's padded?Some IG visuals say yes, others make me question it.Also, stoked on that upcoming mid-top.

Tate is one of the best posters that's not me
Does any one know if New Balance is wrapped up in this story about Chinese slave labor? I'm really looking to buy from a skate shoe brand that isn't involved in that. Can anyone confirm these aren't made in China?
If you can't handle me at my Marc Johnson, you don't deserve me at my Bobby Puleo.

Cons/ Nike are pretty low down.https://thegoodshoppingguide.com/ethical-shoes-and-trainersClick on the pink button for details and then the Shoe Company for a break down. They get good ratings in the 'people' section. Doesn't explicitly talk about labor conditions but I think that's implied.
Also, if anyone is looking for a deal, Numeric 440s here for $22.50:https://www.ebay.com/itm/324121946503
