I'm an 8.5 in chucks tho.

Wait what? How is that possible. I'm a 7.5 in chucks, 40 in cps. How do you need a size larger than me in chucks and the 40 is too long for you. Something is off here.

MMM sneakers run one size smaller than CP. I'm a 42 in CP, and a 43 in MMM is perfect.

that's how it is. I tried the 40 on at Nomad and it was too long. I currently wear JV Converse daily and theyre tagged at 8 Men's, 41.5 EUR (8.5 are my canvas ones). I wanted to buy CPs online so I went in store to try them on and the 40 is the smallest size the store stocked. I tried them and they were too long; nothing I couldn't live with, but I would have preferred to try the 39 and make a decision off of that.

^^^ Fyi JV Converse fit a half size smaller or larger (I forget which, haven't worn them in years) than normal Converse.

im trying to buy a pair of shower flip flops, but i've heard conflicting reports on sizing. some people say tts, others say size up. please advise as im a college student and this is a major investment grail piece for me. can anyone measure the insole, outsole, and width at widest point for me? also what size do you wear in CPs and converse and nike, compared with the flip flops?
