Do not buy them, they are incredibly strangely sized. I have a blue pair in size 12 (my usual size, in everything except Clark's) and they look like a size 8 at the most. I can get them on but they make me look like I have the feet of an asian woman, crush my toes, and are somehow still loose on the back half of my foot? Sizing up will not help.

Also, they stink, and not in a new shoe smell sort of way, my entire house smelled like them for about 3 days, and I could smell them I while I was wearing them.

Do not want.

So just buying a size 13 instead of your usual 12 wouldn't solve it?

They look loose much worse IRL than how bad they look already on the UO site. Smell like rotting shrimp, and the quality is horrible.

I'd rather just send a pair of chucks to Africa, I am all about kids having shoes and stuff, but those toms don't look comfortable or like they'd last very long.

I don't think it says anywhere what kind of shoes they send the kids, this could be good or bad.

It's funny how you find beggers and street-sweepers wearing those in Hong Kong.

How much are they selling for again?

There are a lot of things where you can argue about whether or not paying the extra money for the branding/design/quality is really worth it.

Plimsolls are not and never will be one of those things. Just get an "authentic" cheap pair.
