The Flat Head

SpaceGnome

great fit.

Snowy

Thanks for the cut tips davito / Shoreman. I've had a pair of flatheads on my to pick up list for a few years. Will pay more attention to the 3009 cut to try for a similar sillouette on my next purchase, whichever the brand may be.

@davito, I've been in love with the '47 cut for a LONG time, maybe it's time to come forwards to the '60s

davito

Nice Snowy mate you do already have a 60's cut with your 634 which is pretty much similar to the 3009.

Snowy

Cheers davito, appreciate the info, which makes me even more envious of how your new 3009's fit

Love the 60's fit.

Does anyone have any direct experience with the sizing of Flat Head sneakers? I'm a UK 8 in Converse Chuck Taylors and trying to figure out how to size these suckers.

Thanks in advance!

IIRC Paula owns a pair of them.

Enjoy ya addiction!

Giles

Well recalled. Paula has (at least) 2 pairs. I'll point her to this post…..

Qinhan

Thanks guys. Actually I'd remembered that Paula had these and had already PM'ed her but she was waiting until G came back before giving any advice on sizing. In the meantime, I thought I'd open this question to others in the forum.

Mine are marked inside as size 6, and they're a little on the large side. My usual size is UK ladies' size 5, European size 38. Does this help at all?
