visvim sizing

[guffer]

i am:

us10.5 in adidas

us10 in nike

us10 in vans

what size in visvim hockney/FBT2 would i need?

cheers

[hahnstch]

you can probably fit into US9.5 (judging by your nike and vans size)... it's quite weird though that your adidas size is larger than your nikes and vans

[red120]

Isn't it expected?.. most people I know wear larger Adidas than all other shoes.

Even for myself, I wear Adidas 9 and 8.5/8 for most other brand.

[bargecharge]

Guffer - I'm the same sizing, and wear a US 10 in the FBT2.

[guffer]

i just bought some hockneys in a 9.5. hope they;re ok

[djfischer]

I find the Visvim FBT`s quite narrow and would therefore go for a bigger size.

my adidas and nike are of the same size... oh well. anyway, visvims are generally longer but narrower than nikes, sorry i didnt mention that earlier. my FBTs are size 10 while on nikes i'm 10.5 or 11. the FBTs fit perfect lengthwise but i have to break in for a couple of days to reduce the tightness on the width (they do stretch after wears)

Visvims FBT2 fit true to size.

I'm 9,5 in most shoes and 9.5 in FBT2, 9 in FBTs

affraid those swanky english will mislead you?

[boystory]

what's the feeling on the visvim sneakers? anyone own/tried a pair?

[englandmj7]

^^ Extremely comfortable if you have the right size.

Also, there has been some mixed replies so from someone who collects ALOT of Nike and Visvim, here is what I have found:

FBT2 Mids fit 1/2 size smaller at least than an FBT Shaker, etc. I wear an 11 in Nikes and my size 11 FBT Shaker is perfect, whereas my sz 11 FBT2 Mid is actually quite tight. Hope that helps at all..........

[guffer]

i post on both boards, so why not?

[witts]

i got FBT2s. comfy as fuck !!

Visvim sneakers are better than the FBTs, which are too flashy.

I've got a pair of black/white judd stingrays I bought about a year ago. Soles still holding up, very comfortable, look good. The toebox is covered in white stingray, which is waterproof and stain resistant, so the shoes still look white despite how much I've worn them. They look like a basic pair of stan smiths, too, which keeps you from feeling like someone walking around in a pair of $250 sneakers. I'm going to hit up yahoo.jp for a couple more pairs once these fall apart, if they fall apart.

I'm considering picking up the elk leather Newtons (the Chuck Taylor ripoffs).

i would like the FBT's without the crazy top part, which you can remove so it's no biggie smalls.

i enjoy these a bit, but what other models of sneakers do they have...some kind of link would be tops.

Has all Visvim shit.......amazing site. You can see stuff from last couple years as well as all recent Visvim site..............

www.napsize.com has a bunch for sale too...........

I just got my FBT 2 double tones in from napsize and i normally wear a size 9.5 vans, diesel, nike but i ordered size 9 FBT 2 double tones and they fit perfectly. The only problem is that napsize sent me the wrong color. Their site said khaki/white and i got forest green/ white. Still trying to figure out if i want to keep these or not. Great quality and attention to detail

anyone know if the sizing on the newton II's are true to size? i wear 8-8.5 and was wondering if a size 9 newton II would be too big

[Westbrook]

I wear a size 11 and my size 11 newton's are pretty big on me. Fine sneak though. Although I'd have to say my MJTs are the most comfortable sneaker I've ever worn.

they will definitely be too big for you. go for your normal size if not half a size down

[herpsky]

helpful(?) hints:

i wear sz10.5 regular dunks, sz11 SB dunks, and i wear sz 11 FBTs
