Yeah, I went to the store to try em on. 9.5 was too big and felt big, but these 9's I have to keep kicking back my heel because my toe is right at the tip. I feel the toe box every time. Sucks and I wish I would have gotten a 9.5 but next time or if I can get them for cheap again I will get a 9.5

I want a 10.5 in both the black/gold color as well as in the black/red colorway for cheap. That seems to be the size most elusive with my luck lol. 11 and 10 are in abundance.

Yikes mctykes...
Just ordered a 10.5 from Finishline last Sat night (i'm in 11 in j's, 11.5 in lebrongs and kobe's, 12 in Uggs).
Was contemplating a size 10 but didn't want to risk squishing my feet like my toes are giving eachother a group hug.
Or in a small coupe with a troop of thugs.
(somebody leave poop on the rug? Ehhhh... it was my new pug. Hopefully when i scoop it doesn't smudge).

You should be ok, 1/2 down is fine.

Just got my pair in from Finishline.
Yes, down half a size was the way to go.
And once your feet slip in... "aaahhhhhhhh". It's like a pure ecstasy... without taking xtasy.
The leather, the 3M radiance, cushioning (some people mentioned the lack of DMX... but i couldn't pranktell if there is/isn't - it's like
walking on Dolly Parton's meat curtains while on full bulbous arousal mode) is exactly what a quality retro entails (Reebok hasn't lost a step; the Shaqnosis, Shaquille Attaqs, Kamikaze 1, Twilight Zone Rump Pumps = Aye Papi Status).
They look cool as a silhouette in itself... but on feet; it'll make you bust prematurely.
"AHhhh ahhh uggghhh uhho oohhh oughh...
BYAH!!!!"

The squeaking on my all red patent pair is heinous.

Have you tried to find out what's causing it to squeak?

Probably not glued well outsole/DMX chambers, and a small leak of air...I hope I am not right.

The old baby powder trick that silenced squeaky Jordan X retros in '05 may work.
If it's the upper then that's a different beast - I've had some issues with plastic Flywire on the Lebron VII & Lebron VIII squeaking, no workaround for that.

The squeaking is caused by the uppers. It's where the tongue meets on the insides of the "lace flaps" which are also patent leather. Reebok was supposed to line the inner "flap" portions with synthetic suede so it would not stick/squeak when moving.
A good solution would be to buy some gaffer tape and apply it to those inner lace flaps. The tape comes in multiple colors so red or black shouldn't be hard to find.

My man TURBO, thanks for detailed response - hopefully Rusty ventures into this thread and lets us know if your suggestion works.
I'm going to look at my 'Bron VIIs and VIII V2s and see if the gaffer tape can help there as well.

No problem, happy to help. I have a wide feet so my pair doesn't make much (if any) noise but my brother who has narrowed/normal wide feet?.....squeaky toy status!
Reebok either couldn't find red synthetic suede material to line the inner flaps....or they didn't want to use black suede because of the color "bleeding" that used to happen on the OG Navy blue pairs back in the day.

I would venture that cost might've played a factor in this too. Reebok quality is there, but at the same not quite there, i.e. they do some things right but skip on others.

Really like the quality on these. Most recent purchase was the black/reds. Got a pair for my dad too since he complimented me on them, and now he wears them once every few days. He hasn't worn sneakers for like a decade and a half. If you see a 60 year old man in Toronto with the black/red Answers, that's my dad.

Leather on the Black/Red pair is a tad firmer than on the Black/White pair which had some butter soft leather. Don't get me wrong it's still leagues ahead of the plastic/cardboard they run on NSW product.
