Official Saucony Originals / Retro Thread

I have a sz 11 (Packers) and 11.5 (St. Alfred) coming in. I have relatively narrow to medium width feet though but will provide my feedback. The size that fits off will be available for what I paid. 

Note: I'm a TTS 12 in most UB 1.0 and Jordan 1's.

Wear sz 11 in the 3.0 CNY UB & RC 1.0 UB while I fit into 11.5 in the Naked 1.0 UB. Also, most of my PK NMD's are either sz 11 (French Beige, Winter Wool & Tricolors) or 11.5 (Japan Black, Japan Grey & Monochrome Black). 

Sounds like we're pretty similar, if so, Packers might be a bit tight on you.
 
Anyone have a fit report on the Taras yet? With that leather sockliner I'm a little worried that I should've gone .5 down like I do on 6Ks & 9Ks, instead of going with my TTS 10 (my usual 5K sz).

Yea I usually half sz down in 6k for sure.

Yeah, I figured as much but one of my feet is around 11.5 in long and the other just a tad under 12 so I usually go with a smaller size because I prefer a snug fit and not extra toebox room.

I read that They'll be a European release for the Taras coming up, the 19th I think? Anyone know about this?
 
These are all the Eu stores getting them; not sure if they will have them online. This is from sneakers 76 facebook page.

Packers delivered my Shadow 5K today and as expected, the sz 11 fits too tight. I can make it work but it squeezes my toes too much. So, it's going to be sold for retail + shipping + re-shipping it. Going to have to wait until St. Alfred delivers my 11.5 now.

Hanon has an FSR, too

https://www.hanon-shop.com/i/q/S702791/saucony-grid-9000-sparring

About $116 shipped to the US after -VAT & shipping.
FYI - Hanon has a free US shipping promotion going on right now, too -- FREESHIPUSA is the code. Will save you 15 GBP, so you can get the Sparring for like $98 shipped right now (VAT deducted at checkout).

I'm PISSED I got the email with the code 20 mins after I checked out last night. Would've saved me almost $20
