when you buy the 42, send me the outsole measurement. or just update it yourself.
or RFX, you have 42s...You should update the list with your massive sneaker collection

I might just do that but I don't want too many people relying on my sizing suggestions.

just write whatever into the sizing info and description. It can be modified. The most important part is the outsole measurement of the sizes you own. That alone can help people rule out certain sizes entirely. It's like a WIKI. anyone can modify a record that already exists. If people are too lazy, simply send me or post on here the outsole measurements of whatever "baller" sneaks you may have and make sure to include the designer marked size. For example, if you have MMM velcro high tops and YSL Rollins, send me the following: I have MMM classic high tops in size 43 and the outsole is X centimeters. I have YSL Rollins in size 44 and the outsole is Y centimeters.

i don't think it matters at this point nobody reads anything anyway and wants a specific answer regardless. best thing at this point is just to try something on, even if it costs $6 to deliver/return because you paying 2% more a shoe that runs 3 bills ....

SHHHHHHH. we can't cater to complete imbicils. Plus we all know true SF plebes want to spend 500 dollars on a pair of sneakers but can't bother to spend 6 dollars extra to return something to yoox. We want to cater to people that have a modicum of intelligence. Ideally we would have a big matrix of measurements for each of the popular shoes. Then when an idiot comes and says "what size should i get if my left foot is US 8 and my right foot is 7/10ths of an inch larger?" we can simply post a link to the database matrix.

Since you have such a problem with people asking about their sizes, why are you even worried about making a size chart? Seems like you would be wanting to spend your time elsewhere......

because then you could say 'read this <link>' instead of 27 people weighing in on a question that's been asked and answered a hundred times already in this thread. leaves uncluttered room to discuss more ballersneakers

Because this thread has deteriorated to a place where people ask what size to get if they are size US 8, ad nauseum. I can't even count how many times people have already asked this. The size chart is basically done so why do you care? All people need to do is post a measurement.

Can anyone tell me how the fit is for Common Projects? Any chance they run a little wider?

FWIW, I met Kanye about 1 1/2 years ago, he's definitely 5'8 and no shorter.
