I must have been tripping last night
Just received the 508's and this has been alluded to in some other comments, but they're about a half size too large. I pretty much only wear NB nowadays and ordered the same size I wear in all their other models. I'd definitely consider ordering a half size smaller than you normally do if you can't try them on in-person. Will be returning and waiting for the size I need to be restocked, since my local doesn't have them yet.
Have the 1010s. Went tts, mad heel slip. Was bummed. They skate great. So comfortable. I might try a half size down next time, but these feel like the nicest skate shoe I’ve had, maybe ever. The toe box is a little too long, the sizing is off for a narrow heeled person such as me....but goddamn, shoe feels really well made, totally worth the $$$.

I agree that a half size down would be a good move though, since it's a suede shoe that would only get roomier as it breaks in.Damn fine shoe indeed, skates like a dream and durable as all hell. The ONLY flaw with durability is that the collar and piping around the heel can get torn up doing heelflips. Whatever fused layer is beneath the suede is incredible, and touching up stitching with superglue once has kept those from becoming an issue.I thought I was sold on NB after trying the 440 hi, but these 1010's are the shoes to beat. I hope the amazing colorways continue, don't know if I ever would have tried them had it not been for the brown and black joints.

Tate, you gonna post that colorway yet? If we can get an Ishod leak, we should be able to see a colorway for a shoe that’s already out
Tate is one of the best posters that's not me
Wow that jake hayes colorway is hideous imo. That color of blue just reminds me of a urinal cake
New balance cupsoles would be perfect with a pointier toe

Excuse me if it’s been asked before, but does anyone have a comparison on the 213 hi to a blazer? The 213 seem to have a bit slimmer profile but it does appear that they have the same sole of a blazer. Are the midsoles adequately thick? Love me some blazers and would like to try the 213’s but I’m trying to avoid flimsiness if I can. Skating the Tom Knox hi tops now and for what appears to be such a slim profile the toebox is surprisingly wide and accommodating. The sole is very supportive despite also being very seemingly thin. I did replace the insoles with some old Nike insoles however and they have been treating me very well.Also thanks @Rothdigga for all the continuous intel
oh my god he's gonna post that color soon and we will rejoice

If you see offensive comments, just let it go into one eye and let it out of the other eye, no tears and not sadness or anger.

Was in Zumiez today, I fucking know... But I wanted to check out the shape of that new Real Natas/Silva deck that just came out and they had it in stock. Long story short as I was leaving I checked out the pile of sale rack shoes they had instore and low and behold the 4 pairs of NB# 440 HIs I returned were still sitting there, now at bogo 50% off. For the hell of it I tried them on one last time since these are long gone and ended up rebuying them as they didn't feel as tight in the toe as they did when I first bought them. * I was also healing a broken ankle so that could of been what was throwing me off with the feel and sizing on this shoe first time around. I think the NB# 440 and the Vans Crockett High are god tier skate shoes. Can't go wrong with either.
