that jacket was part of a collab w/Bait for comiccon SD this past yr so I'm assuming the patches stemmed from that as well

Yeah finding a 14 in the 97s is like looking for the Loch ness monsta!!! Try these stretchers on Amazon, they will help you stretch it out almost a half size if you leave then in for about 2-3 weeks.

The first pair of 97s I was able to get were SBs in a size 15 (my true size is a 14). They fit...but were obviously a bit loose and because the midsole is so stiff and the collar is so low, I had heel slippage when I didn't choke the laces.
With NDC's return policy I copped the Atlantic Blues in a size 14 (fully intending on returning them) and to my surprise they fit like a glove. I have narrow feet though. My worry was about toe room lengthwise, but I ended up being fine with the 14 and every other 97 since I copped in my true 14.
If the pain you're experiencing is due to the width...a shoe stretcher might actually be the better bet than going up a full size. If it's a length thing...then yeah, you'll have to size up since bigfooters aren't afforded the luxury of half sizes. Best of luck.

you've tried those shoe stretchers in your 97s and the stretchers didn't mess em up? My silver bullets feel a little tight and are showing no signs of breaking in any time soon to become a little more comfortable!

In that case, before you go selling off your collection...I would try this:
Amazon product ASIN B000PMIBXG (low cut shoes, does length and width)
Amazon product ASIN B000PMPTFY (high cut shoes, only does width)
They work very well and have plastic inserts to put into the holes to target certain areas.

Naw they work perfect, You just dont want to go crazy and twist the silver rod at the end like you incredible hulk and over do it! Just make them really tight. I dont use the added black insert things, I think those are for bunion toes. After about 2 weeks they fit really good and now I can use my custom insoles in them. I put them in for a extra 2 weeks after the custom insoles and now I'm good to go. I use them on all my 97s.

Not something I would wear, but interesting and cool patches. Also informative on the stretchers. They don't distort the shape though?
