me, no. I think for a man my feet are rather thinnish.
I think the length are probably about right, although i told the salesman that they were too tight at the toe or foot end. It was my imagination probably and it was the sides that made the shoe feel smallish.

Did NOT know about these, and I think I'm liking them. Better than those other new brown ones. Also posted in Official Non-Baller.

Saw this in person and they look pretty nice, the white/off white/cream and navy combo just works. I wouldn't pay $150 for it but it reminds me of the Lanvin x Converse mids from a year ago.
I apologize for the gargantuan pic.

How do the JV lace hi tops fit? The site says UK size so I'm assuming 1 size down from my normal US size?

I have noticed three kinds of Converse Chuck Taylors.

1. Made in China
2. Made in Vietnam
3. Made in India

The Made in India Converses are the shittiest and a disgrace to the brand. They feature the lowest quality canvas & workmanship, and the finishing is shabby to say the least. Anyone noticed this?

No such probs with MIV or MIC, though.

Just one reason why I don't wear Converse. They're not real shoes.

The MIV and MIC pieces are quality sneakers but every time I encounter an MII Converse, I turn around and bolt. You can check where it's made on the label under the tongue.
