Can anyone tell me how the sizing for Vans sk8 hi's run? Should I size down one like I do for Chuck Taylors?

[mike lowrey]

yo minz, you need to grab these basecontrols

[cHr]

Will I (most likely not) or a proffesional schoemaker be able to get rid of the studs without damaging the shoe?

[Roulette]

I would go just for being careful. Really depends how much you like those shoes.

Everyone has a different answer to this, but for me: I wear an 11.5 Nike & Sk8 hi, and an 11 in All Stars

[retemeris]

i agree with mega, half size up from allstar size should be about right

purchases:

black and white chrome bag

april 77 grey colordrives

Does anyone know anywhere online to purchase fingerless gloves (ideally in black and white... do white fingerless gloves even exist)?

how do vans chukkas fit in comparision to slip-ons, sk8-his

or nike dunks

[123ok]

chukkas fit bigger. i'd size down 1/2 size from what you wear in i.e dunks.

leather boots will continue shrinking forever-ish

hence the need for shoe-trees

For my little cousin's birthday coming up, I'm having a tough time deciding no which color. Any thoughts on the colors?

EDIT - the second color is a dark brown, more like this:

Would it be difficult to alter a thermal lined sweatshirt or is it a job that a regular tailor could do?

can anyone tell me what New Balance sizing is like... i'm looking at a pair of 574's on eBay, oh how i long for them, except i am a 12 and there are hardly ever any good ones. i've found some 11.5's, it'd make my day if i found out they ran large.

cheers

If i wear a 32 in APC New Standard, Would I wear the same size in a APC New Cure?

I usually wear a 10 in Nike and Adidas and wear a 9.5 in NB 574's

a 11.5 should work for you...

nudies strech out about half a size in time and are already really stretchy, i actually sized down 2 sizes and was fine.
