I've been trying to get creams in my size since Champs put out that tweet on April Fools day and everytime I went to a Champs or FTL here in NYC they either sold out or didn't have them at all. Today I decided to throw on a Marshawn Lynch jersey bc I was tired of asking all of these stores the same question over and over. I walked into the FTL in Soho earlier today and just looked at one of the employees from a distance. Then he started looking at me and the jersey, walked over and asked what size...I FINALLY ended up copping my size which happened to be the last 10.5.

if you pass on these for $230, and didn't have an opportunity to get them for retail, you just don't need these shoes.

Have your feet been measured properly? If not, you could be buying the wrong size shoe – you’d be amazed by how many do. Allow me to explain:
The Basics
In order to find the proper starting point for your feet, you will need to use a Brannock Device. You can purchase these online or simply go to any reputable shoe store to use one – it’s a standard in the footwear industry. The main thing you need to know about this American made device is that it measures the length, width, and arch length of the human foot. Furthermore, it is highly recommended to measure your feet at the end of the day when your feet are at their largest (they swell during the day).
The Measurement (measure both feet!)
Many shoe salespeople will use the “rule of thumb” test to determine proper fit, however, this may be incorrect for most people. Ideally, the way to determine proper fit is using a Brannock Device:
Step 1 – Heel to toe of foot (length)
Step 2 – Heel to ball of foot (arch length)
Step 3 – Width of foot (width)
The most important measurements are the heel to toe and heel to ball lengths (measure both feet!). It’s not uncommon for your heel to ball lengths to differ in size from you heel to toe lengths. In this case, choosing the size that is greater is usually your best starting point.
For example, my left foot’s measurements are:
Step 1 – A size 9.5
Step 2 – A size 10.5
Step 3 – A size D (average foot width)
My right foot’s measurements are:
Step 1 – A size 10
Step 2 – A size 10.5
Step 3 – Between a size D and E (slightly above average foot width)
The Analysis
Using the above measurements from a Brannock Device, heel to toe and heel to ball, technically, my TTS is a 10.5 - again, this is just a starting point for the prefect fit. Ultimately, I find that in the Adidas Ultra Boost I prefer a size 10 fit - that’s crazy, it’s .5 down from your TTS. Indeed, numbers don’t lie, or do they? Let’s examine this further.
Size 10 Adidas UB Chalk (Production date 1/16)
Left – A little over ¾” of toe space
Right – A little under ½” of toe space
Size 9.5 Adidas UB Chalk (Production date 9/15)
Left – A little over ½” of toe space
Right – A little under ¼” of toe space
Size 10 Adidas UB Base Green (Production date 7/15)
Left – A little over ¾” of toe space
Right – A little under ½” of toe space
Size 9.5 Adidas UB Base Green (Production date 7/15)
Left – A little over ½” of toe space
Right – A little under ¼” of toe space
Size 10 Adidas UB Navy (Production date 12/15)
Left – A little over ¾” of toe space
Right – A little under ½” of toe space
Size 9.5 Adidas UB Navy (Production date 12/15)
Left – A little over ½” of toe space
Right – A little under ¼” of toe space
Size 10 Adidas UB Mystery Grey
Left – A little over ¾” of toe space
Right – A little under ½” of toe space
Size 10 Adidas UB GR White (Production date 10/15)
Left - A little over ½” of toe space
Right – A little under ¼” of toe space
As you can see, by my measurements, most UB models fit very similar. The only exception, at this point, is the GR White UB (production date 10/15). I found it to fit almost identical to the other size 9.5 UB models I own. Snug, yes, but not blood-flow constricting. Better suited for those who prefer the sockless or no insole fit for sure.
From what I gather, including myself, most people consider their TTS only from the heel to toe, ignoring their heel to ball size. This incorrect assumption can lead people to believe they are sizing up .5 or greater, but in all actuality, their heel to ball measurement could be a more accurate assessment of their TTS. For me, personally, I found that going .5 down from my (Brannock) TTS of 10.5 was the better fit for me. When I tried the 10.5 on for size, my right foot had a little over ¾” of toe space (good), but my left foot had well over a 1” of toe space left over (bad). Of course, I could have added an insole to solve this problem, but in the end, the fit of the size 10 works for me. Your Feet May Vary!

About 250 pages back I promised to do this since there were so many sizing questions. Because people gave me rep for that, I followed through. You can ignore it if it doesn't pertain to you as always.

Which mall? I copped a pair on Tuesday from FTL in the Tucson Mall but it was a size too big, I'm trying to see if I can take them back to get an 11.
Just grabbed my size 8 pair from FL in little rinky dink Tucson, AZ. If they got them everyone should have! I went in about 30 minutes ago and they barely got the shipment in so everyone keep calling and checking.

Saw a couple folks with more than 2 bags of chalk UB one from FL and another from champs and expected to get back in line to get more...dude at the door called next 5 and told the folks with the extras to step aside or at least have som common sense to have somebody hold it for you so you can go in for extras...
Common sense ain't so common...

Thanks man! Only reason I followed through. Had I not opened my mouth about it then, I surely would have given up.., lol.
