I had been wanting some light colored sneakers that would work with summery pants and light khakis, so I clicked on the shoes.com link like j told me to.

At literally the last minute, I grabbed my Adidas Samba size in the Varvatos Chuck winter white and navy suede. I thought this was the advice in past sizing threads; do you think I got the right size?

If so, which pair should I keep? (Yeah, I know the SF answer would be both.)

Well, the only sneakers I currently have are regular black Sambas, so I got my size in that and got the shoes above. Old threads seemed to say get your regular sneaker size, so I was hoping to confirm these should fit.
