Just copped Lori some Balders with my SE credit.

Both I guess haha. And throw up some pics when you get them Joe!

[joesaintjohn]

Will do.

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?

Cheeky bugger, I have exactly 2 pairs as he well knows!  ::)

Thanks, Mme B.  Every bit of information helps!

Holy shit that varsity jacket is so nice

Lori's balders are in. Pre-soak. Do you think they'll be too small after the soak?

[Chris]

That's a pretty snug fit right now.  They're probably going to be super tight after soaking.  I think I'd recommend going up a size.

[llvlaglne]

oh man joe, i was going to tell you FH usually runs a size smaller…. size up one and fit would be fire

[joesaintjohn]

That's what I was thinking. I went off the selfedge measurements which seems a bit off.

[joesaintjohn]

Feck, they don't have a pair in the size up, but they have a pair two sizes up. What if she did the ole wear them in the tub, then wear them to dry trick?

[llvlaglne]

how does she feel about the waist right now?

[llvlaglne]

yea selfedge measures differently from IH

2 sizes up would be too lose for her liking

[joesaintjohn]

The waist has plenty of room, it's the thighs I'm worried about.
