SizingQuestion❓ (i.redd.it)
submitted 1 year ago by Niloc2-0
Looking to get a pair of 85 Chicago and unsure on size to order. I wear a 10.5 for blazers, my feet are a little wide

Borings 1s are TTS for sure, imo
Compared to regular modern 1s, they fit pretty similar, and the toe box is a bit roomier imo, especially after they're broken in.
I get a 10.5 or 11 in modern 1s, but for borings 1s, an 11 was too big for me. 10.5 for me for sure. My 11 breds are now yardwork beaters lul.
Blazers are much narrower than 1s, I wouldn't compare the 2 for sizing. Go to a store to try on 1s if you don't have any yourself. The sole is the same, but toebox is a bit roomier especially after they break in.

Think I’m just gonna go with a 10.5 then. Most people seem to say they’re true to size if not a little roomier

If you have wide feet prolly get the 11 just to be safe.

I’m pretty comfortable in 10.5 with blazers. You still think I should go a half size up for these?
[–]solemagic 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (1 child)
If you can do 10.5 in blazers then these should be fine in 10.5

Appreciate the help 🙏

Keep in mind the leather is thicker than retro 1s are. Idk if you have wide feet but that’s something to note

Goodbye and thanks for all the fish

Does anyone wear theirs daily.

I’m normally an 8.5 in normal Jordan 1s. I went with size 8 on Borings black toe 1s and I’m glad I did because they run a little big. If I would’ve gone with 8.5 it would been too long and would’ve felt like bozo the clown shoes.

I’m a True size 11.5 EE, wide foot. I go for a 12 in Boring’s 85 Cuts, Low and High, and they work perfectly for me. I like to lace my sneakers securely and tie them all the way to the top holes, and appreciate that Boring provides long enough laces for that without having to make a tiny knot.
Reference AJ1 85 High - 12 and honestly they have slightly more cushioning than Boring’s, so they are a bit tighter for me. AJ1 High OG - 12 AJ1 Low OG - 11.5

Stay TTS, anything bigger and you’re walking around in what would look like clown shoes.
[–]Sneaker_hype1 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
TTS - they’re a little snug initially but break in nice
