Dope socks @veloaudio

Think I might hump at that black cat shirt.  Loved Fritz the cat as a kid when I wasn't supposed to be watching it

Well if you're between an 11.5 and a 12 (like me) then it's an easy decision, since there is no 11.5.

I'm an 11.5 in Alden Trubalance (which fits pretty large on me) and the JL 12s work fine.

[Broark]

Thanks Chiba, I thought I might be able to go down to an 11 possibly.

Email John. Measure some Cons or Vans and get the length from him or if they're online, very accommodating dude.

[Sugar Mountain]

Broak, my boot/shoe size runs a fair bit smaller than my sneaker size (I'm 8.5 Viberg and Trubalance but US11 in NB, Vans and Nike) and consensus seems to be taking a half size up from Alden. Fingers crossed it works out for me.

[Broark]

I ended up ordering a size 11 per Kiya's advice.
If they don't fit I'll be able to swap them out for a 12 though which is nice!

[Chiba J.]

Nice. How's the fit? Would be helpful to note how you sized since quite a few guys seem to be mulling over sizing these.

[Qinhan]

Fit's great.  I went with my regular Japanese/US size of 8.  No need for any sizing up or down imho.

[Superfluous]

Very nice Qinhan

[Sugar Mountain]

Nice Qinhan. My navy sneakers have been shipped from Speedway so now the waiting begins…

[grandmasterben]

Nice sm.

If John does some donkey punchers in badalassi, that will definitely be my first foray into his footwear!

@Sugar:

Nice Qinhan. My navy sneakers have been shipped from Speedway so now the waiting begins…

Navy was super nice too.  I think you'll be happy with the colour.  It really pops.

Great to see some champ sneaker love, enjoy guys

Great photo Davito. My sneakers turned up at the office this morning. I quickly tried them on and the sizing is just right.

So for what it's worth, I went with my normal UK shoe size (UK9), half a size up from my Alden Trubalance and Viberg 2045 size and a full size down from my UK sneaker size (Vans, Nike and NB in UK10).

Photos soon…

[Qinhan]

Nice photo, D.  Great collection.

And here we are:

[Finn666]

looking fresh @Sugar Mountain …what size did you went for, compared to your viberg boots?

[Sugar Mountain]

@Finn666 I went a half size up: 8.5 in Viberg, 9 in the sneakers.

[davito]

Very nice @Sugar Mountain congrats, wear em well. If i had to pick only one sneaker out of my collection (there are some more than in the pic) it would be the navy one. The contrast between the navy canvas and the gum is just outstanding. But well never can have enough shoes lol. Super pickup mate.

@Qinhan thanks bro and great seeing your natural champs
