Those look great. I instantly thought they would be my next pair of white shoes. But then I remembered that dry denim bleeds...

My MJ for Vans Old Skools run pretty much normally--same as I take in most shoes, and half a size larger than I take in Chucks.

Go to store. Try on vans prison issue. Discern size. Problem solved.

I wouldn't personally fly several hours just to try some shoes on, so sometimes its useful to have some info before purchasing.

I have the mj prison issues and being vans, they run equivalent to vans sizing.

your sizing is wierd!

shouldnt converse and jack purcells be the same size? and 9 in converse is huge relative to vans slipons. i usually size down 0.5 or 1 size for converses.

in any case, i have both vans slip ons and the prison editions you showed and id say they are pretty much the exact same size, except the prison editions are a bit looser vertically. when i wear socks with vans slip ons, there is no loose room. when i wear prison editions and socks, i have to stuff them or else they are loose. keep in mind though that i tighten the top velcro strap only to where the strap on the bottom ends and not a bit more.

i hope that helped.. its kind of late here so i apologize in advance if that wasnt clear.
