Regarding sizing questions, I am typically a US 8.5 in Nike, New Balance, etc. and have settled on a size 40 for the Achilles and the Bball, so I essentially size down one as most recommend.
Regarding comparing the Achilles footprint/last to the Bball footprint/last, as most have stated, the Bball definitely wears bigger in the forefoot but not enough for me to wear different sizes in both. I tried that before by sizing up to a 41 in the Achilles, and it was way too long for my liking. I would describe my feet as a normal width, above average arch, and slightly narrow heel.
I'm now going to grab a nubuck pair in the Achilles or the Bball in either grey, tan, or nude/beige. Any recommendations/preferences?
