At what point did the whole true to size......1/2 size down....1/2 size up....thing start?
I'm not positive.
..my personal recollection is 09'.
Deff. feel like it "never used to be a problem" ..but now is.
At least for what seems to be a decent portion of heads buying recent releases.
I'm a Sz. 12.
I have been a Sz. 12 for SO long now, & bought SO many pairs of kicks, that I don't bother to try them on.
A 12 fits me "TTS" in ANY brand, sneakers OR boots.
Until the Olympic VII this year.
I'll admit I never put much thought into it, until the Oly. VII's, cuz it was so cake for me to cop Sz.12 & have a "perfect fit".
Also admit, until recently, I found it sort of comical. ..the whole: "how do these fit" , "TTS", ".5 down", etc.
I was on the same $%!# as the dudes who reply w/: "you must not know your true size". lmao.
..obviously, no one can expect to know how someone else's foot is specifically formed. ..OR what "feels perfect" to them, either.
My Oly. VII's are a Sz.12, but fit like a 12.5. ..weird, cuz it's literally the ONLY shoe that's been "off" for me, far as sizing, this whole time.
..they're just what I consider roomy, it doesn't bother me.
I've seen the talk & for the longest, and honestly? ..thought some of y'all were just nitpicking out of boredom. lmao. My bad.
Since my Olympics are "roomy", & people BEEN sayin'the sizing's off lately?
These Playoff VII's will HAVE to fit that way too, no?
And they don't.
..well? ..MINE don't.
They fit perfect, like every other 12 I've ever purchased. SMH. lol.
Happier w/this purchase, than any purchase I've made in 2 years, far as JB kicks. Durabuck. Fits "TTS" LMAO. Dope shoe, IMO.
In three years, I think most people who own this shoe ATM, will STILL own it, & love it.
