THE LEBRON 13 THREAD *Elites released**Command Force 6/11/16

Tried on 13s @ ftl 2day. My usual size 10 1/2 was long. Even ftl employee that always take care of me said they looked long. Went .5sz down. Perfect fit. This is the 1st shoe I have gone dwn in sz in about 5yrs.
I might actually send mine back for a half size down.. they're narrow, but  should break in after a while

I ended up going down to a 9.0 and am pretty happy, just feels more secure on my feet, and I think the break in will be better....for what it's worth.

so its safe to go .5 down even with a thick socks on like the elites?!...cos sometimes thick socks makes a difference LOL

I felt I needed to go down a half size, even with elite socks (pretty thick) because of the width in the upper, felt like I was swimming and couldn't get the laces tight enough, or without cinching them to death.  Length was obviously a bit closer in the toes a half size down, but not bad.  I think the snug fit now will let me break them in to my feet for a better fit afterwards.  
 
Got the Mulberry from NDC and I'm experience major squeaking from the right shoe's zoom unit on the heel. Click the link--> for the video clip. It's not just pressing it that the squeaking occurs but when I plant my foot it squeaks like crazy. The left shoe squeaks a little when I press on it but doesn't when I walk. Don't think it'll go away as it's rubber(outsole) touching plastic(zoom unit). Didn't plan to keep it regardless just wanted to test fit indoors and outdoors and of course they'll be discounted eventually.

I would be wary of buying from a place that doesn't accept returns just in case this happens to your pair.

Aside from the squeaking, the thing that stood out on the 13 is that they are lighter and contains your foot better without sacrificing flexibility than the 12s. Putting the shoes on can be a pain but that's what the pull tab is for. To the lace swappers, it's mission impossible. :lol:

I'd go tts if you wear thick socks or a wide footer. Rather deal with the length than the tightness widthwise. Don't think the upper will loosen up that much if at all. I have a semi wide foot so that's my suggestion.

Little off-court wear today. Played in them Monday - Wednesday and honestly - these will stay in rotation. The flexibility shocked me for how stiff they feel in hand. Cushioning is okay so far - doesn't suck but doesn't blow me away. Fit is dead on for me - maybe a little long but like TPG said, I'll take some extra length to not be too narrow. Posite does nothing except make $200 seem okay. Playing in them though, transition and flexibility make it an almost-great shoe.
