Today was my first day out with mine. Too cold for sneakers, but very happy with the fit and support of the "Champs". Feel like these could almost work as real athletic sneakers.

@Chiba J. Very glad to read the support is fine for your feet. Comfort is really good

blue looks great! did anyone get the white?

[Chiba J.]

Those blue do look really good D.

I really like the blue.

Not that I'm in the market but I go back and forth on whether I like the sole color or not. White soles would be too much like Chucks I guess.

davito, do you have any recent/good shots on the wabash? It looks amazing!

[davito]

Thx guys these are really good
@Snowy can take more pics soon, you'll see some recent in my IG

Has anyone bought a pair of the Lofgren Blue Suede Shoes? Looking to buy a pair and wondering how I should size… Let me know if you can help me out, I'm a pretty solid 10 in Cons and a 10 in my Wolverine 1ks. Thanks!

[Chiba J.]

Go cat go. Try emailing John.

Thinking of taking the plunge with a pair of Champion Sneakers. Is a half size up from Viberg and Alden (trubalance) size working for dudes? My sneaker size is oddly high compared to my boots and shoes:

8.5 Viberg 2045
8.5 Alden trubalance
8.5 Trickers
Uk10/US11 Vans, Nike, modern Chuck Taylors and New Balance.

11.5 in Alden TB and JL champions fit great in 12. They ship with two insoles and I found inserting the second insole makes for a better fit. It's possible that your Alden TB size might also work, but I think half sizing up is a solid bet.

Got a hold of John and went with the Blue Suede Shoes in a 10. Also bought the Champion sneaks in camo… will update when I get a hold of em. God, I wish this guy would put out something I didn't absolutely love...

[Sugar Mountain]

Thanks @Chiba J. I think a half size up from Trubalance will be better, because in D width my Alden are close fitting against my feet and in summer I can only wear them comfortably with dress socks. How's the width of the Champion sneakers compared with your Alden?

[Chiba J.]

My Alden TB boots fit me quite big. Champs are a better fit. (but hard to compare shoes and boots…). Based on the way your TBs fit, yes half size up.

[Sugar Mountain]

Great, thanks again. Need a new sneaker for kicking about in at the weekends and these are mighty attractive.

[gwillig]

Just got these in the mail, but unfortunately I sized incorrectly. Although I am a 10 in most Converse, I am definitely not a 10 in these, even with the double insole. I think I am possibly a 9.5, but perhaps a 9 might even be better. I wish I had a way to try them on but I guess I am stuck buying and returning to Self Edge. @Sugar Mountain I would definitely recommend sizing down at least a half size from your regular sneaker size.

[grandmasterben]

For some reason it seems like shoes/boots are always sized larger than they should be.

[mclaincausey]

I'm down a half size on these
