Can anyone confirm that these run wider than Converse Chucks? I've read that that's the case, but just wanted to confirm before I grab a pair. I've always found Chucks insanely restrictive and uncomfortable...

@Alex what would you say?

[Alex]

I have never worn Converse, sorry. @AdamJ or @Steve may be able to offer real-life experience as I think they both have some chucks

[Twistlock]

Wearing both Chucks and these i think these are wider and therefore more comfortable to wear.

[T4920]

@Twistlock thanks for that, gonna pick up a white pair.

This thread seems to suggest their closet to UK sizing, I'm normally a UK 9.5, but am tempted to size up to a 10 to allow for thicker socks. Watcha reckon?

[Twistlock]

@T4920 , i am a US10 in Vans and Chucks and wear a UK 9 in these, even with boot socks they are still comfortable for me. When i bought mine was initially targeting UK 9.5, when i tried them on at IH Germany i was swimming in them so i sized down.

[T4920]

@Twistlock I'll go TTS then, cheers!

@Alex I as about to type “WTF!? How have you never worn Chucks?” but then I remembered I’m a bit older than you. ️

[AdamJ]

@T4920 I wear a UK7 in my chucks, and a 7 in these. @Twistlock is right though, they are not as narrow so you'll have more room. Your point is valid about socks, I can barely tie the laces on mine if I'm wearing any Iron Heart or Decka socks!

[Steve]

@T4920 IH Sneakers are a lot wider in my experience, I wear 8s in both, but the IH sneakers are a lot more comfortable I find due to being wider. I do tend to wear thinner socks with them, but that’s mainly due to wearing them in the warmer months

[T4920]

Finally pulled the trigger, on the size 10. Thanks for the advice ya'll

[T4920]

Very, very happy with these staight outta the box! The undeniable IH quality shines through straight away, even the laces feel premium. Absolutely nailed the fit too, glad I sized up half a size, can't remember the last time a pair of shoes felt so right on the first wear!

Looking fresh

[Fades for future]

Yeah looks nice

[Salted Racer]

I love these--they look nice fresh but I love when they get dirty as well.

[Adam B]

Damn, these sized the same as the Lofgren ones?

[T4920]

@Adam-B I know they're both made by Moonstar .. but not sure of specifics

[A Former User]

@T4920 looking good

[Crease]

@T4920 That white is just pure class!
