Just got a pair of all whites at Footlocker size 11 women (men size 9.5), the guy said they are the exactly the same as the men shoes, but I just wanted to make sure. 

Women's 11 = Men's 10 in Adidas.

You were using Nike's conversion, as pointed out above, you'll be getting the equivalent of a men's 10. Is 9.5 your usual size or were you sizing up .5 for the UB?

I'll take them if they're too big.

mind sharing details on product used to achieve the look on the right?

That would be awesome, I've been considering blacking mine's out

Specifically what brand and color, looks like a really dark grey in the pic. Did you strip the boost down with acetone?

I used fabric marker for the one on the right. The left is angelus glat black and matte finisher. Yes I rubbed the gloss off with acetone and I believe it wouldnt work well otherwise. Also used jet black leather dye on the boost. Yeah the marker doesnt leave a super dark black almost like a graphite. Idk how well it will hold up but with the paint it cracks so I figured Id try this after talking to a member who said it has held up well for him and is super easy to touch up. Here is the market I used.

9.5 is my TTS. Should I size up .5? they seem a bit slippy at the heel.

You should be fine with the 10.

I like the look of the ones on the left. Might have to do this with my core blacks once the Boost gets too dirty.

The left was acetone jet black leather dye 3 coats flat black paint then matte finisher. It will crack and need to be touched up. Mine held up very well make sure you rub all the gloss off with acetone to get best results imo

By gloss do you mean the original shine that the white boost already has from the factory?

 

[pg62]

Might be going to HoH later.  Gonna ask if they can still order whites...

Thanks for the info on this, what kind of jet black dye do you use and how is it applied? I'm afraid ill mess up the shoes somehow

I blackened my boost 3 months ago and it hasn't cracked at all. You have to add GAC-900 Fabric Paint to the flat black paint (50 / 50% mix). Then use a heat gun to set the GAC -900. The GAC-900 makes the paint flexible and prevents cracking.

You have any pics and you use heat gun after you apply it?
