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.

[llvlaglne]

you're looking at 2 options.

1. cold soak and have her sit in the tub in them

2. return for score credit….. look at the 3sixteen pairs for felines

looks spot on in the thighs..... but this is how it'll look efter some time in them
