Sounds like a dumb ass question but I always buy to to size shoes, I'm an 11 so obviously always buy 11 right? Anyway, theres a pair or shoes I want that I can get well under retail but they are a size 12, only thing is they are online only so I cant try them on in advance and dont want to go through the hassle of returning them if they are too big. So, anybody here ever gone up 1 full size or do it regularly? Anyone? Anyone?

 

Bueller?

 

Help!

Nah its online only so they have to be ordered. They have a soft, woven upper which is really flexible though, kinda like a thick sock with a sole so I dont think it would be uncomfortable, but might look and feel a bit saggy or baggy...
It mostly depends on the shape of your feet, I'd say. I can be anywhere from 11 to 12.5 or even 13 on one shoe, because I have broad, short-ish feet. If you're tight-ish on an 11 across the bottom (closest to the leg) "knuckles", then I'd say a jump to 12 should be fine. You could always get orthotic insoles or wear 2 pairs of socks if it's touch and go.

How much time do you have? If you really had the time on your hands, you could always go to a shoe store and try on a similar shoe that size and see how it feels.

I'm not sure how much time I have, these are the last pair so its until somebody else snags them really. I might nip in tomorrow and try on some Roche runs or whatever the hell those are called, they are similar material I think. I dont have wide feet, just regular for my shoes so not sure how I'd be in a 12. I can fit in some 10.5's but I also fine size 11 Nike Kobe's to be tight so I dunno. Annoying!

I tend to see a lot of Adio skate shoes in TK Maxx that aren't my size but I end up buying.

 

I'm a 10.5 but can get away with a lot of size 9/10s on that end if the scale and up to a 12 on the other

I'm theoretically 11.5 in one foot and 11 on the other so I've always had to get 12s, however the last pair I got were just impossible to work with so I had to switch to 11s. One foot is very happy, the other is getting chewed to pieces until the leather expands a bit.
