IHSN-01 - Low Top Sneakers in 21oz Selvedge Indigo, 21oz Superblack, 21oz White

[Mizmazzle]

I almost posted these for sale today. I felt they were too small. I decided to give them a try again with the thinnest socks I could find. I think I might be able to do this!!
Hoping the width at the toe box will loosen up with break in. The only real problem is a bit of pinky toe pressure.
Any experience with the break in loosening up that pinky toe area?

BTW…these sneakers are the coolest ever!!

@Mizmazzle Nice!! I’d love to find a pair of these

[Mizmazzle]

@travisxray what’s your size?

[travisxray]

@Mizmazzle I’m a 10.5 brannock so I’m not sure in these.

[Mizmazzle]

@travisxray based on my experience I’d say probably a size 10. I’m a 9.5D brannock and these are a 8.5. Wish they were a size 9. But going to see if I can make em work. Hoping a break in will loosen things up.

[travisxray]

I think that’s what I came to the conclusion of in the past. I almost bought a pair of 10s at one point and I wish I would’ve. Thanks for that man.

@Mizmazzle they fit you divinely my friend, mine were also a little tight and uncomfortable the first day but they give way quite quickly. I would advise you to try wearing them for a few days and then evaluate, in my opinion they will fit you very soon

[Mizmazzle]

@Luijim78 thanks my friend!! I think I’ll give them a shot and see how they feel. Absolutely love the style of them.

Hi, I had a few of these … to help you with sizing, I would recommend to get the same size as you would with chuck taylors. You could also do a half size down, but I wouldn't recommend it for long term.

[labrat]

Beat the crap out of a pair (use them for riding) , they age nicely... Would def stay true to size or even size up next time.

@Mister_Brue what can i say , am a sucker for IronHeart ️

[Mizmazzle]

@labrat did you find the width in the toe area loosened up with break in?

I’ve been wearing them around the house today. They feel ok. If they loosen up some with the width across the toes I’ll be money.

[labrat]

@Mizmazzle ill be honest, i did not notice any stretch in the toe area … everywhere else yes. Summer time, it gets hot, and feet start to swell up, not fun. I just use them when it gets cooler and im good

[Mizmazzle]

@labrat that’s a good point about the foot swell situation.

[Mizmazzle]

Tracked down these 9s thanks to @travisxray
The white denim is definitely a lot softer and collapses the shoe shape more than the super black, which is more rigid. But these fit a lot better. Really comfortable.

I’m going to dye them black this weekend. Should be a fun project.

@Mizmazzle I also really like the white ones and they look great on you my friend

[FlavourFade]

@Mizmazzle so happy for you buddy!! Hope to see the black dyed ones soon

[Mizmazzle]

Well, it took a few hours to complete…but the dye job is finished. Now they just need to dry. Feeling pretty good about the process.
