Not for me, soles are pretty solid and not as soft as other rubber soles.

U do youqasa owners find the sole to wear down rather quick?
Was researching on sizing for this exact pair myself, and I've read to go down 1.5 sizes down from your Nike size as it's a slip on.
What? Really? Lol I've had 2 people tell me .5 down and another one tell me 1 size down -.-
Everyone is different, unfortunately I was in the same position as you since I had no retailer within even 2 hours driving distance to try on any Y-3 shoes.
I posted before about how the shoes fit me personally but I'll give a reply.
I wear a US10 in nike am1's, which is pushing it since I have wide feet, I feel i would actually be a US 9.5 if it wasnt for the width. So for the qasa lows and these in particular, I got a US 9.5.
I definitely had room in the toebox, more than usual and I feel a US 9 would have been perfect length wise. However, as snug as they are I know the width wouldnt allow it and it would just be an ugly look with the sides of my foot hanging out over the sides of the shoe. With the primeknite I found it more snug than my other low II's but after being on feet a bit the snugness went away or atleast I didnt even notice anymore.
Like I said everyone is built different but it's only my opinion that if you have wide feet only then .5 size down and if you dont have a wide feet, then a full size down.
Hope that helps and they shoes ultimately work for you...you will definitely not be disapointed in these shoes, super comfy!
thanks for all the help guys! sorry for the late response and i repped you both. im just conflicted on what model to buy! ive always wanted the black/whtie his since the first drop but i just dislike "hi" shoes and i cant seem to find a 9.5 anywhere since ive read to .5 down on qasa his
Should have mentioned I have a very narrow foot. And I am very particular when it comes to sizing so i do my homework.
So here's what i found.
I went tts.retro boosts are tts correct? or .5 down
^ ^ ^
Another colorway
Ever since I saw those I've thought they looked amazing, boost needs to be used like in this shoe. Encased in rubber so you still have comfort but also can keep the design and aesthetic. I hope it isn't canvas though, some stretchy woven material hopefully.^ ^ ^
Another colorway
What are the materials on that? Leather, suede and canvas? Man all I know is these new boost are dope af! I was on the fence about the floral boost but now I know I am definitely picking up one of these upcoming cw's! Hopefully these right here!!!
You can't beat a great model that uses different materials. It becomes more interesting to me when they're different materials but the same color. It brings to the shoe all these subtle features that are wonderful to look at
I don't know, when fall approaches it will probably show up. I recommend joining y-3's site mailing list if you haven't.

Yes indeed! A great example I think is the New Balance x Wing + Horns shoe. All black but it had that subtlety you mentioned from the use of different materials.
Have you heard of any release date info for this upcoming collection?
kickin myself for missing out on the retro boosts on jackthreads, they would be a nice option for summer and a good alternative to the elusive sock dart
It's a 2013 release " acid green " most y3 qasas come and go. re release of anything can or will not happen. They are long gone if you are lookingAnyone know why the neon qasa highs are so hard to find? Were they limited or something?
check your pmanyone have any leads of black/white qasa hi in a 9.5? since im a 10 i need to go down .5 :[
