      I’ve never heard of these but I’m starting down a rabbit hole thanks to @AdamC and @choco. What can you guys tell me about them? How’s sizing compared to other popular brands?

        I go 11.5-12 in most shoes and opted for a 45(12) in these and they fit great. I found I needed a few days to break them in but now they’re more comfortable and seemingly higher quality than my Vans Old Skools(which is what I’d compare them to). Highly recommend!

          @Matt I’m recently a little disappointed with mine, I’ve started wearing them much more and the sole unit is coming away at the heel on both, not sure if it’s a me problem or others have this issue, I know @AdamJ did, I still love the look and comfort but I think I just wear the hell out of one pair of trainers too much

              Been eyeing these too and have a pair on the way. Went with my usual Vans size ( US 8 ). I tend to wreck sneakers so looking forward to seeing how they hold up.

                I’d like to get one of the sale pairs. There’s quite a bit to choose from. I don’t want something that’s going to fall apart though.

                  I got three pairs on sale between their site and END. I love them so far. Went with my regular Vans sizing, and they fit perfect.
                  Definitely agree with the couple days breakin period. Super comfy after that. Much more so than Vans. I’ll have to keep you posted on sole separation though. Hoping that’s a one off thing.

                      Just had this pair delivered today, impressed with build quality and materials based on the price point, especially with 60% off at END.

                      Regret getting the high top version though, having to unlace the top 3 eyelets to get them on and off...

                      Took a half size up, and it perfect with thicker socks.

                        @T4920 Nice, @AdamC has the low tops.

                        As he mentioned further up the thread, both of my pairs have split on the instep where my big toe is, so I've not got a new pair since.

                        The devil is in the detail..

                          @AdamJ that's a shame. Hope I have better luck, but at least than £50 a pair (sale price) I'd be happy to use these as my beater kicks.

                            My pair just touchdown. They seem to have more of a quality feel from my initial impressions. Going to try break them in the upcoming July 4th weekend and week.

                            As for sizing, they do run just a hair bigger than my usual Vans sizing. Though not enough for any discomfort or annoying heel slippage.

                              They look pretty cool. Don’t let @Seul see those socks.

                                  Are those just the slipperiest on floors, or what? I’ve never seen a sole with that little going on.

                                    It's weird, there's almost an extra (super thin) layer of whatever they use to make the soles (PVC?) that wears away to reveal more of a grippy surface after a few days use.

                                    Here are mine after 3 days wear.

                                      Still looks like it would be danger on tile or really any hard surface.

                                        @sabergirl had the same thought when I got them. Wore them for most of the day yesterday and didn't notice any issues though.

                                          Jack Purcells have a sole like that. I’ve never noticed any excessive slip with those. If it’s like tires then the more surface touches the ground, the more traction you get.
