Tried on the 480
Preference: Lover of the 1010 (on my 9th pair) i wear a size 9.5 in these, fit is snug, usually use a shoe stretcher since I have wide feet, mesh toe fits better than leather/suede toe
480: Tried on 9.5. They seem to fit larger (length wise) than my 1010's in 9.5. Was afraid the toe box was going to be too narrow but they fit better toe box wise than 1010. I would still need to use my shoe stretcher to have a perfect fit (width toe box wise) Going down a half size could be a possibility for some
I also noticed on one of the shoes, the lace job was lopped under the tongue on the last two holes for whatever reason, I see some of you guys talking about the toebox to tongue area is pinching your foot, maybe check and see if your shoes was laced like that?
Also the 480 passes the ankle roll test (wide enough sole that makes it harder for your ankle to tip over)
All in All I will continue to skate the 1010 but will absolutely be buying some 480s for everyday/chiller shoes
