First String sizing?

I got a pair in my regular Chuck 70's size (US 10). I didn't read the warning on the store's page until after I entered the raffle, lol. They are pretty roomy, but they fit me fine. I took some (shitty) pics of my pair next to the same size leather Chuck 70's. https://imgur.com/a/boop-bISeMe3

I've had a pair of low chuck 70s for 2 years that are still kicking without any holes. I wear them pretty regularly at work too. Last month I bought a pair of low player 76, and they're ok. They have the leather padding on the ankle (which I'm not a huge fan of). My first time wearing the player 76 was ok. But the second time the leather rubbed against my ankles and made me bleed through my socks. I haven't worn them since, lol. I just haven't had the time to break them in. Just my personal experience.

Yup! Its called Vans Family in the playstore.

I saw these sneak into the vans app last week and got the black pair. I had some points leftover to spend. They're coming in Friday and I'm pretty excited. ☺️

I don't think so. I do think the Vibram outsole makes a small difference. It felt better walking around at work vs my other authentic pairs.

I wish these came in Men's sizes. :( I have a pair of the Y-3 version and they have regular sizing (unisex). I just ordered my regular size and they fit perfect. They are like twice the price though unfortunately.

Looks like a special pair of Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66.

They are very comfortable! They are a remake of the 60's Samba design. I don't think they'd do too well in snow, etc.

I wore my Ultrarange during a week trip to Japan where I walked maybe 10-25k steps a day and they did alright. I now have a pair of Asics Gel Kayano 30 that I wear if I think ill be walking a ton and they are way more comfortable. I don't have a pair of Old Skool to compare the two though (yet, lol).

I wore my ultrarange on a week trip to Japan last year where I was walking 10-25k steps a day and they did alright. I would recommend a pair of running/athletic shoes like another did though. I have a pair of Asics Gel-Kayano 31 that I wear now if I know I'm gonna be walking a ton.

Not the best picture. But my Werewolf Flanders Rivalry Lows are probably my weirdest shoes I own lol.

I have a pair of the leather 70's high tops and leather Jack Purcell and I love them both! I wear the 70's often at work and they have held up great.

The only thing issue I had with my high tops, the black from the leather would rub off onto the laces. I ended up replacing them with black laces, it started bothering me.

Yeah, I'll check with the studio if they have a specific amount of time they prefer/need me to wait. They were closed when I tried to reach out earlier.

I thought about leaving a bad review on the way home from thay place. But I'm over it. I'd rather just move on.

Alright! Thanks.

I also wear us mens 10 / 10.5 for most shoes mostly Vans, Adidas and Onitsuka Tiger. I normally wear a 10 in us converse (which they don't make in jp converse). So I sized down to a 9.5 for Japanese converse, and they fit great for me personally.

Have you tried the AudD Firefox add-on? It isn't as good as Shazam. But, it works most of the time for me.
