Good to know.

Everyone was saying how they fit big.

the guy who made the review vid a page or two back said he had to size down.

In my opinion they run real big, but that's just me. I have a really narrow foot, and even with my 0.5 size down I'm still swimming in the toe box. Can't really recommend anything other than heading to a store and trying them on yourself.

If not a single shoe you purchased this year was "TTS" for your feet, perhaps you don't know what your true shoe size is?? Just sayin..

oh, thats hilarious...how bout this, since you're obviously such a scholar
....maybe, juuuuust maybe from 96 to 2011 or so ive bought the same sz shoe, and within the last few yrs ive had to sz down for js and sz up for ams.
perhaps im not the only one since alot folks ask this same question thread after thread...just sayin

Funny story around my Raptor purchase:

I pre-ordered them from a seller off Ebay, and he said my pair came damaged and scuffed. Because of that, I won't be getting them Sept. 15th, at the earliest. But he said he was sorry and he'd be sending me a $10 off Ebay coupon AND THE BRED 11s FOR FREE!!

So needless to say, I don't mind waiting for my Raptors now.

You're sure going to be disappointed come the end of December and you don't get the 11s if you really think dude is going to send them to you for free.

Yeah, like I said, I'm skeptical. But I just thought it was a good story to tell. Either way, I'm getting my Raptors, which is what I really want anyway.

Swear everyone got these. Even people who 2 months ago were wearing sketchers.

sneakerfan1 · Sep 5, 2012

The main difference with Jordans these days are the lack of ankle/tongue padding. My 11.5 still fits me fine due to the way that I rock my shoes, but that extra cushion that J's used to have made them fit like a glove. The fit isn't what it once was, but there's no way that I can ever size down to an 11 in J's.

FNL pair getting here Friday as opposed to the usual Thursday. Hopefully the quality is comparable to the PS pair I copped for my niece.

eastwicksi87 · Sep 5, 2012

^ someone is pretty butt hurt over their shoe size dilemma....up down? left right? Whats wrong with my feet???! LMAO

peekthasneaks · Sep 5, 2012

hopefully these restock tomorrow morning

Couldn't care less. JB doesn't produce enough, and no one gets the shoes they want. I'll wait a few months for most of the new kids to trash their's before I put them into my rotation, but as long as everyone who wants the shoes gets a pair, and JB profits even more, then it's a win-win, IMO.

GOT MY EASTBAY CONFIRMATION LAST SATURDAY. SELECTED THE 3-4 DAY SHIPPING. SO I WAS EXPECTING IT TO ARRIVE BY FRIDAY. BUT SKED TO ARRIVE MONDAY. HOW UNCOOL IS THAT?!

Klatekin said:
got a tracking number from eastbay saturday but they still haven't shipped out yet, smh...

Please feel free to PM us with your customer and order numbers and we'll gladly check on the order status and work out when your order should ship or be delivered. What Kip2MyLou posted (quoted below) is pretty much correct, however. If your order was confirmed on Saturday, due to the Labor Day holiday it should have shipped out Tuesday, pending payment verification, but Tuesday itself does not count as one of the shipping days. 3-4 day shipping would thus mean that if the order shipped out Tuesday, it should arrive on either this Friday or Monday. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by the holiday delay.

Kip2MyLou said:
Have to take in consideration the time it takes for it to leave the warehouse of Eastbay, which could be a day or two. FNL is famous for that. The confirmation is a email telling you they have your order; not that it's been shipped. Plus it was a holiday week, you'll have to think about that too.

I'm not positive.
..my personal recollection is 09'.
Deff. feel like it "never used to be a problem" ..but now is.
At least for what seems to be a decent portion of heads buying recent releases.

I'm a Sz. 12.
I have been a Sz. 12 for SO long now, & bought SO many pairs of kicks, that I don't bother to try them on.
A 12 fits me "TTS" in ANY brand, sneakers OR boots.

Until the Olympic VII this year. :wink:

I'll admit I never put much thought into it, until the Oly. VII's, cuz it was so cake for me to cop Sz.12 & have a "perfect fit".
Also admit, until recently, I found it sort of comical. ..the whole: "how do these fit" , "TTS", ".5 down", etc. :tongue:

I was on the same $%!# as the dudes who reply w/: "you must not know your true size". lmao.
..obviously, no one can expect to know how someone else's foot is specifically formed. ..OR what "feels perfect" to them, either.

My Oly. VII's are a Sz.12, but fit like a 12.5. ..weird, cuz it's literally the ONLY shoe that's been "off" for me, far as sizing, this whole time.
..they're just what I consider roomy, it doesn't bother me.
I've seen the talk & for the longest, and honestly? ..thought some of y'all were just nitpicking out of boredom. lmao. My bad. :wink:

Since my Olympics are "roomy", & people BEEN sayin'the sizing's off lately?
These Playoff VII's will HAVE to fit that way too, no?

And they don't.

..well? ..MINE don't.

They fit perfect, like every other 12 I've ever purchased. SMH. lol.
Happier w/this purchase, than any purchase I've made in 2 years, far as JB kicks. Durabuck. Fits "TTS" LMAO. Dope shoe, IMO.
In three years, I think most people who own this shoe ATM, will STILL own it, & love it.

I think before that.
Maybe not tho'. lol.
Maybe just the sheer number of times I've read it in a thread, makes me FEEL like it's been years.

coldcity · Sep 5, 2012

it started for me with the gmp... i reserved a 11.5 because my normal sz 12 was gone.... when i got it they fit PERFECT...like a sz 12... i eventually got a sz 12 in the pack & it fits like a 12.5
