So I wore them for the first time yesterday, and paint on the inner sides of the midsoles started peeling :frown: Any advice on how to keep them white? My friend suggested using spray paint then use duller over that

that looks horrible... why would you even paint the midsole of a shoe that compresses as much as these with every step?
 
Sizing help.....
If i prefer a 12 in the racers, i like em snug, 12.5 is doable but a little too much room for meand 11.5 is def too snug.
whatwill the trainwrs be like? I dont own a single pair. I found a 11.5 padded and 13 unpadded, what do u guys think

If you like snug then TTS in padded trainers is plenty snug. Half down for unpadded.

Anything less would be way too tight. And i have slightly narrow feet.

I'm pretty sure none of those sizes would fit you right

I wear a size 9.5 in racers but I have pairs in a size 10 that fit me, albeit a bit loose for my liking. I only own trainers that are padded and the size 9.5 pair I own definitely fit but they're extremely snug (steaming them will make them a bit more comfortable) and the size 10 pair fit perfectly

If I were you I would probably go with a 12.5 padded (maybe a 12 if you like it real snug) or a 12 unpadded

Does anyone have experience steaming a shoe a whole size down?

I don't think steaming a shoe will shrink a shoe at all. On the contrary, it actually stretches the shoe so it can fit like a "glove" and mold to your foot. So one is actually stretching the shoe and not shrinking it. I have heard reviews of it being very beneficial though.

I don't think much can be do in order to stop the peeling. Paint will chip regardless especially due to the constant impact when stepping. 
 
Steaming will shrink it. Just like throwing a t shirt in the washer on the hot setting.

This didn't make any sense.

When you wash close in hot water, they usually shrink.

Same idea.

Correct, but the shoe itself doesn't shrink. Yes, they might fit a bit more snug seeming as if they shrink, but that's because steaming will stretch the knit then mold to one's foot. 
 
wow thanks guys for all the responses. gonna just pass on the size 13. very thempting since they were deadstock and unpadded whites but for the money ill pass. and they were posted in the flyknit seller if anyones intersted.
