Sent back my 1010’s. Went TTS and had to crank the laces down... knowing that suede stretches, I went with a half size down. Really hoping I don’t regret that. They felt amazing though, way too comfy for skate shoes.

I did.

Size 10 way to big
Sized down to a 9.5 and too small, but not due to length but apparently the height of the toebox, much too cramped.

Sucks, I really like the look and build of the shoe.

Same situation. I’m 10 in most, got 10s after going back and forth on it. Next time I’ll try 9.5s. I can skate the shoes just fine, they feel loose but....I skate good in them and my feet don’t hurt, and strangely outsiders compliment them (not as important). I’ve got a weird foot shape, narrow heels. Mine are jogger laced, and I can still pull them off when fully tied.
As I’ve gotten older (and turned to dust and whinges), I’ve tried some different avenues for foot advice. Running store folks told me to size up, like 1-1.5 sizes in running shoes, let the feet have room. It feels pretty wrong in a skate shoe, but nothing bad has happened yet (I’ve basically just stopped trying to cram my feet into the narrowest/smallest shoes, but I don’t size up).
I’m all over the place here.
The 1010s are great and I recommend

I wear a 9 in all other NB models, and have a size 9 pair of 1010's. It's a suede pair that had a lot of heel slip issues the first few sessions, but I just re-laced them with my foot inside the shoes so they were snug and it resolved the issue. Really looking forward to more colorways, the beef and broccoli was amazing but I'd love to see a black on black with hits of color, too.

[Ok]

I’m on the b&b’s and should have just bought 9.5 and 10. I feel like the 9.5s would have stretched out, eventually. The 10s have heel slip for me, and are laced tighter than I’d prefer for the looks, but, again, no foot pain, and they skate really well.

[Jud Nestorkins]

The first ones. *bites lip*

[Painted Baby]

Anyone know what the comfort level on those All Coast 574s are? I bought a pair of the regular 574s in the wrong size but they felt really nice. I could buy a pair again but in my size but if these guys are similar I'd like to give them a shot.

So too wide? Have you tried the 379? If so how's the fit compared with them?

It’s really hard to explain, I think a fellow poster mentioned it - heel slip and the toe box being too tall? It feels almost like it fits how a shoe would without an insole.
It’s also my first experience with NB#, so I regrettably can’t help you there.

[YungJugg]

I agree that 1010s fit big, definitely wide. And the heel collar is lower than I’m used to, so it makes the heel slip feel worse than I think it actually is. I gotta choke the fuck out the laces.

With that said I still love em but would go down a half size next time. I want a 1010 mid.

I actually swapped in my insoles from a pair of 306s which are thin in the toes and thick in the heels and it pretty much solved that issue and overall upgraded the 1010 IMO.

i found the arch and heelcup on the insole made the shoe feel too narrow, I've swapped out for a flat ortholite insole from DC's on both my pairs, and now they're great. Oddly, the DC's are more comfy with the tiago insoles as well, so that worked out perfectly.

[rothdigga]

Hey Roth, I have this problem with my 508s where the insole just loves to move around inside the shoe, I guess I could get some aftermarket insoles and solve this, but I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. BTW absolutely love the shoe, it's become my go to shoe. Excited to see some new color ways soon.

I just started wearing my first pair of 508's recently but I haven't skated them.  I've been skating only in the 440-Hi lately but eventually I will try these 508's.  So far I've just used them for walking in a few days but it does sound like there's others on here that have a similar footbed issue.  I'll let the design bros know about it for sure.  Thanks for the feedback. 

[NowhereInLife]

so should i size 508's the same as 440's?  1/2 down?

somewhat wide flat feets

Pleeeeease.

[topfrog10]

anyone know the word on whether or not the states are getting the khaki/red/black 306s? Have seen them show up in some euro shops but not on here at all

please don't waste company resources on things that only a handful of tree hugging soy boys are concerned about. Fixing the insole fit and more taper to the toe cap (like the 306) is what the PEOPLE really want. Thank you

Please don't speak like Dee Reynolds to Roth Digga

I came here to say I am really looking forward to some new 440 low colorways. I thought the high was perfect... but I think I prefer the low.

[birdplops]

Pretty sure there was a guy shredding portobello skatepark today wearing the most barf-inducing 1010 colourway: Black, white and hot pink. Reminded me of liquorice allsorts.

@Lloyd Braun maybe that 868 you spotted a few weeks back?

Someone tell Samarria Brevard she was wasting company resources by making a vegan shoe. Apparently, she's also a "tree hugging soy boy".

Where do you guys come up with this stuff?

NB is big enough that they can do essentially whatever they want.

An excellent use of company resources would be if they'd hire an independent contractor to disable your ability to type & speak.
