I find these Adidas more sexy than the Nikes with the in build heel

[Flash]

Found some 2017 ( I think ) AJ1 royals for a decent price and after staining the midsole and swaping the laces for some foxtrot uniform faded laces there ready to wear

Pro-Keds with LVC 55s

[Dr_Heech]

They look gorgeous Martin! Loved the original converse camo hi's, but they all look similar to me. Nicely paired with the 55s.

They run a little bit bigger than the Chuck 70's and have a wider toe box. I find them more comfortable than the 70's. I'm a 10 in Vans and got a 10 in the 60's and they're fine, fit almost like a 10.25 :-)  I've found my recent 70's  barely a 10, fine for summer with thin socks but I would probably need to size up in the 70's to 10.5 for non summer.

Damn! I should'av asked here.. i wish Chucks were wider, they pinch my little toe until they're broken in, I tend to size up 0.5 on the hi's.

Some ebay sellers who had multiple size runs of the Lucky's were asking you to buy your regular size but they were shipping half size under to account for the larger fitting, i didn't order them in the end.

[freshwater]

Some will be fine half size down on the 60's, especially if they have a bit of room on their regular Chucks/70's

Think I just put comfort first these days. Also I tend to wear sneakers all year round so need to be able to wear with chunkier socks.

[Duke Mantee]

I bought these …

They look like Phigvel’s version except they don’t have a smooth bottom.

[Flash]

Class pair @Duke Mantee , love the chunkier midsole 

[Duke Mantee]

These? Don’t you think the Phigvel are a wee bit similar to the Lucky Star?
