That's my wife. I think those are just a pair of Soludos.
Hate to give conflicting advice because it's just going to throw some people off, but I wear my true size in the SL10H and they fit perfect in length and width. I could probably get away with a half size down, but only if I wore thinner socks.

I'm on the same page as @echau on this too. I wear TTS, in SL10, which is 43 for me.
I just got a pair of baby cat skates and I could've even done that in 43.5.

Don't own any raf simons stan smiths so I can't really tell you sizing relative to those.
To the guys saying they went TTS on SL10H, can you comfortably wear the shoes without tying the laces? I personally went full size down from my standard EU size

What size are you? Most TTS are bigger sizes.

There's some room, but it's definitely not like a pair of balenciaga arenas where you MUST do a whole size down. I guess I could go a half size down, but that would limit me to thin socks only.

^Brian, I went to Home Depot to get that NeverWet Boot spray but they only had the fabric kind. Apparently Home Depot no longer carries the Boot kind at any of their locations even though it's on their website. Sucks because I was gonna break out the CP's this past weekend but oh well. Had to order it from some random site. One bottle gonna get me through a few pairs?
As for the SL10H sizing I wear a 40. 39.5 would probably be perfect though. This is a shoe that is available in enough colors and in enough retailers that you should be able to just go in and try them on at this point. My pair is from the first batch with the nicer leather when they were still selling out and harder to find. Fellow NTer hooked me up with his pair and the size 40 fit well enough. I'm sure 39.5 would be a unicorn to find and 39 maybe too small.

Oh dang, I think the same thing happened to me when I went into Home Depot. Somehow I ended up finding it at Ace Hardware.
But yeah man, you should definitely be able to get through at least 5 pairs with pretty heavy coating.
It came in so handy this weekend man... My chick spilt her diet coke at dinner and it rolled off the table on to my new SLP chelsea's and the s*** literally just rolled right off. It looks so crazy on suede because you would expect the nap to soak up the liquid but it rolls off as if it's plastic or something.

^Yeah it's going to be necessary for all suede boots. Especially considering how/where I wear my kicks and I intend to wear these very heavily throughout fall/winter. Do you do the soles as well or will that create problems with slipping on surfaces? Stuff looks awesome but I heard you have to reapply periodically.

SLP boots have some kind of protective spray on from factory already, I learn that from spilling water all over them and the water roll right off. Doesn't hurt to put another coat on though.

I've never actually spray the soles. I figured the coating would get roughed up once I started wearing the shoes, but I could be completely wrong by that.
And I think you're right. I've read it too where you have to re-apply every so often, but I haven't completely tested that yet. I'll try it on a pair I sprayed down in March and tell you how it held up. I think the recommendation is to re-apply every 3 months, which isn't too bad considering it works so well and if you spray them up at night, they're ready by the morning.
OH! and ps, with suede, after you spray it down, just like when suede ever gets wet, the texture will look dry/stiff at first, but once you brush it down with a nice brush it'll go back to a good nappy texture.

Do not spray anything on the leather sole.

spraying sole wouldn't do much of anything once wear starts happening

Does the spray mess up the suede's nappy finish? And does the suede change after some time due to the application of the liquid repellent spray?

Suede is not as sensitive as everyone makes it out to be. I never spray mine and I wore these all threw last winter. In the rain as well and I live in the country. In the middle of the f**king woods. The nap hasn't changed and feel the same as they did when I first got them.They are completely fine.

The spray has no effect on the suede at all, as long as you get the boot & shoe version! Just remember, whenever suede gets wet at all, after the liquid dries, the spot that got wet will look stiff/dry. Once you give it a good brushing, it goes right back to it's nice nappy texture.

You're absolutely right. Suede is definitely a rugged material. However, that doesn't mean it's unaffected by staining.
If a $16 bottle, that protects more than five pairs of shoes, will protect my $1,000 suede boots from staining, it's a no brainer for me.

Same here...
Picked up a pair of fringe in 44.5 (Thanks A), and only chose that size out of desperation. They finally arrived and they fit PERFECTLY, a 44 would have been too small, all this time I expected they would have the same fit as the SL10H.

Would this repellant protect against other things besides liquid base spills? For example mud, ketchup, food etc. Also, is it safe and effective for leather?

definitely agree. Balenciagas, particularly Arenas, are just on a whole nother level of fitting big

Sunny, my dude!
I've actually even tried chocolate syrup and soy sauce on the white leather of my balenciaga arenas. I don't know if I'm brave enough to try that on suede, or directly on white shoe laces... but I haven't tried anything other than liquid-type spills though.
