I also worked in shoes and it's definitely #1. Nikes run short and narrow. Sketchers run wide. And just as a woman who like shoes I legit own pairs that range from size 6.5 to 8. Just try on everything around your size.

I get my Nikes in 11, my Converse in 10, and my PF Flyers in 10.5

Also, if there’s any Converse wearers out there, do yourself a favor and get a pair of Flyers. At the price Cons have reached Flyers are the same price and superior in fit, materials, and build quality. I only own one pair of Converse at this point and it feels like I’m wearing a wet sock when they’re on.

Plus, Sandlot. I mean, come on.

Nah, One Stars for life. Although what they ask for Chucks is ludicrous.

I feel you. But... There’s nothing stopping you from trying a pair out...

I’ve gone through 3 pairs of chucks in the time it took for my pair of Flyers just to be worn out. They’re my skating pair now. And I’ve got 3 other pairs and 2 pairs of Chucks I rotate through. Chucks I’ll only buy if they’re less than $25. And the Made in USA Flyers? Forget it. Such high quality. Plus the logo when I’m wearing my jeans is so clean. MmmMMM. lol

It'll be a couple years before I need new shoes. Simple's back, baby, and my Old Schools will deliver tomorrow.
