Just got a pair of 1010’s. I feel like my heel is slipping around a good bunch. Do you guys lace them all the way up, or should I size down?
Mine felt that way at first but then it went away. I’m not even sure it’s heel slip, but some kind of mindfuck when you are used to the heal bump things.
I had massive heel slip in the 1010s, wearing a size US10, even with big socks, tight af laces, heel slip; for a size 10, they were easily a half size too big
on me no way in hell I could have skated them, they might as well have been flipflops. The 9.5s, were too snug. These were leather, not the mesh variant.
The 808s have finally given in a bit (two overnight stretches and constant wear around the house with 2x thick pairs of socks); now, wearing my normal socks, they feel good enough to skate in and break in the rest of the way...it's not that they aren't wide enough it's that the toe cap design doesn't allow for any wiggle room vertically so it feels cramped. Hopefully the mesh variant drops so I won't have to bother with all the pre-stretching.
FWIW, I tried all of that stretching on the 9.5 1010 with zero luck; someone got a nice gift at a spot one day.
