I might be in the minority here, but the Roshe do not fit well for me. I wear between a 10 and a 10.5. The 10s are way to tight, width-wise. But, a 10.5 leaves way too much room on the toes. It's a shame because I reallty liked the shoes. When I consider inserts, the issue is not remedied, either.

Thanks man! Was confused when I didn't see it off the bat. Assumed there was a promo code floating around.

So my Paris Mids just came in. Of course I put them on right away. Heres my review (I apologize in advance my terminology is going to be awful):
- Great looking. The materials look right on this shoe. Everything is subtle but feels high end. Sole on the Paris was a light blue which I thought worked great with the dark upper. They did resemble Trails but more luxurious materials and the OG foam sole.
Unfortunately, thats about it in terms of what I liked.
- Toe box. First it had those nasty marks on where the toe box meets the foam. Ugly but I didn't really mind. Second the toe box is too big. My feet felt like they were floating. Not only are they longer than OG lows but its also higher up.
- The part underneath the laces is too tight. This is the main reason why I don't like these shoes. It pinches my foot and makes it uncomfortable. I wore them for 5 minutes and though they didn't hurt, it got to a point where I didn't want them on my feet. I tried them very loose, then very tight, then basically without laces and still didn't feel better. Ultimately, the opening is not big enough and it ruins the shoe.
- The ankle area is again too big. Even when I tried them extremely tight they felt loose. For whatever reason though, they are still hard to put on.
- Laces were too short. To put them on I basically unlaced them through the top two holes.
Conclusion:
They fit badly for me. The toe box and ankle was too loose while the main part of the foot was tight and was pinching me. These shoes are made for people with long, narrow feet. I will definitely be returning these. If I really wanted to make them work I could but why force it with Roshes? If anybody wants some pictures let me know
tr;dl: Look great, fit bad.

I have wide feet also. Normally I wear a 9.5, but for Roshes the first pair I got were in a 10 and a 10.5. From those purchases I knew the 9.5 would be real tight for me especially on the sides. I have a finger width of room with my 10s w/o socks and the same with the 10.5s w/ socks. For wide footed people there is a bit oftrouble when sizing with these Roshes. I have to add I LOVE my Roshes!

The toe box on the mids Are definitely too long. The only downside in my opinion.

Sounds like an ARCH issue... get some arch support to pick up your mid foot in the shoe.

I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks Flyknits aren't as comfortable as advertised? Maybe they need to be broken in or maybe i need to size up a half, but they weren't as comfy as Roshes IMO.
Maybe I'm being biased cause Roshes really don't need/have a breaking in period. I dunno...

I have wide and flat feet. I wear 10.5 in Js and 11 in shoes that I play bball in since I put in arch supports. For Roshes, I wear 11 since the 10.5s felt a little too tight for me because of my flat feet.
But I too felt some discomfort wearing Roshes the first time. The middle of my feet hurt like hell after wearing them outside for the first time. I was debating throwing my arch support inserts in there but wore them a few more times and low and behold, the pain started to go away.
Rock them a few more times and see how they feel after the 2nd and 3rd time.

These were asia exclusives that dropped last year. Mesh isn't OG and they aren't a purple upper but this is the closest we've gotten. I want a blue/purple sole with a dark upper

Appreciate the responses guys. So a Womens pair and an Asia exclusive pair? That's cool. Might iD something akin to a "Joker" inspired version down the line.
