80's bigger? - Squeaky - 08-11-09

Goodday,

My brother just came back from the USA and I asked him to bring me back some supes. He did. He bought these:


I believe these are 80's. These unfortunately were at the bottom of my wishlist but I can't blame him. I already got a pair of supes and they have a size UK 10/ US 10,5. These new ones have the same size but they feel a lot bigger. Not in length but the width seems bigger. I might add an innersole or wear thick socks. Or I can tie my laces real tight but that's not gonna look good.

Since I'm planning to buy some more supes soon (some vins too) I was wondering if UK 10 is the wrong size for me or is this a specific problem for these 80's? And what about the vins. They also have a thin tongue. Do they have the same 'problem'.

I hope you experts can tell me something about the different models and their sizes. Thanks!

Robert

SS80's, which is what your brother brought you, tend to fit wide. So do vins. Nothing to do about where they were purchased.

pretty sure those are superstar 80's.. but i could be wrong.. everyone knows that vins and 80s fit a little big, so you can afford to go half a size down in both

sorry ill rephrase..
if you ask anyone here they will say 80s fit bigger

look i got a pair of vins in US11 which is my usual size and they fit fine. but i also got a pair in US10.5 which also fit nice, a little bit better i think. and i got a pair of 80s in US11, they fit fine aswell but im sure i could have gone down half a size and same result

Those black/forest green are 80s. I know, as I have them. I always buy the same size when I can - the extra width makes them more comfy!

But I'm afraid that with a halve size smaller my toes will tip the nose.
I got a pair of fakes here in size 9,5 and I have to bend my toes to fit them (I don't want to fit them, but just to try ). I know comparing with fakes doesn't say a lot.

Sorry Nikos for the quoting. I keep pushing the wrong reply button.

A half size smaller works for me!
