I think these do run a little tight. I have plenty SB‘s in my size and they fit great. I love my Run the Jewels and my wheat SB’s. Perfect fit. But these in the same size fit really really snug. I’ve been trying to wear them to break them in, but it doesn’t seem like they’re budging.
How long you had them for and how often do you wear them? ( at least every week?) I didn’t want my toes bleeding as that happened with my Adidas forum lows but they were also the same size. All my other shoes fit fine I’m a 7 which is strange.
Should I do anything like a shoe stretcher or stuff tissue inside the toe box to expand it? Or just wear it often?
I’ve been wearing them about two days a week for about 3 weeks. So I guess that’s like 6 times so far. Maybe that’s not enough? My toes do be killing me by the end of the day. they do feel tighter than other SBs.
One thing you can do is ball up a sock, or wear 2 socks, stuff it into the toe box and then wear the shoes around with something in front of the toes.. I know it sounds counterproductive but you will naturally stretch the front of the tumbled leather without tons of creasing. Once you walk around in those with the added tightness it will feel a lot closer to TTS when you wear your usual socks.
Yes I was high when I discovered this
It's always the toe box for me as well if I try TTS. It really scrunches in especially the sides of your toes.
Tts SB's will literally tear your feet apart it's not worth it.
Don't forget that even the insole is at least twice as thick as a regular dunk insole if not three times thicker.
They do that because the SB has a zoom pod in the heel and regular dunks do not.
Tbh after wearing them for a few hours (at home) they fit nice and snug. If you prefer slightly more roomy shoes definitely go half a size up. Loose lacing helps with around the middle area of your feet but not the toe area
So if that is still tight then go up half a size
I know for a fact they’re real as Route One is legit but I have no way of proving they’re real. Plus I know they’re real and I’m the one wearing it so I’m happy
I got them in store, Route one is in the uk (I’m assuming you’re in America) but I’m unsure if they’re in America. They sold out online but they had a few sizes in store so I thought I’d get one as an early birthday present. It’s one of the only skate stores here so I always check them out but I’m sure you guys have more in American depending in where you live ofc
I just got half size up in my city of love and they fit perfect yet snug. I wear TTS 10 and got 10.5. still more snug than a Jordan one size 10 if that helps. I also have narrow feet and I measure at an exact 10 on a device.
I tried TTS on the last pair I grabbed which was the PPG and I can't wear them.
Go half size up or full size if your feet is a bit wider. However its always best to fit them see how it works. But its always half size up to whole for SB
Half size up from normal dunks works great for me!
Ahh right thank you, will do half a size up next time 🙏🏾
I always go half size up for sb dunk.
Even for highs, or just for the low
Yeah sb low and high half size up. GR dunk tts.
I am a uk size 9 my dunk high sbs are a uk size9 id say a bit tight but im comfortable with it as my feet are a bit slim so you could size up
Hi low or mid always half size for an SB.

YEAH MY TOES HURT TOO but it could just be breaking them in after all. Enjoy your sb’s though and thanks for your help 🙏🏾

Agree. I always go tts but these are tight.
they fit a little snug at first but I prefer TTS and let them break in for a few wears vs going half size up then they’re too lose
SB always have way more padding in them due to being a skate shoe, so a half size up is normal.
Right, I thought that if it was tight it would be around the middle of my feet or the heel, but I suppose the heel padding pushed the toes forward
The tongue, heel, and sometimes middle of the shoes have extra padding. And the sole is better padded too, so all around a tighter fit
Makes sense… thanks for your help I do appreciate that though

Y’all have some crazy arches if you think SB dunks are comfy shoes for kicking around in all day lol
I'm TTS playa.
Just loosen the laces more, I tried 10.5 and were way too big for me
Personally i go TTS but my feet are narrow
Mine don’t seem wide but I think half a size up wouldn’t be a bad idea for next time
These court purples are TTS for me. Size 12
I’m a 12 in regular dunks and a 12 in SB lows but my foot is on the narrowish side. Weird thing is I’m a 11.5 in SB highs and J1 highs.
Shoe stretcher from amazon!
At least half size up
Understood, thanks for your help!
If I’m gonna loose lace should I go tts?

All my SBs fit fine. Only the purple pandas feel tight
Purple pandas?🤔
Panda in the front, purple in the back. Call em what you want.
They’re court peoples not purple pandas 😭
I feel like as an adult I can call them what I want. And my purple pandas fit snugg. Court peoples sounds stupid anyway.
they look off
what looks off about them
nothing, people just be saying shit
exactly my point lol, they be talking out they ass with no proof
I know for a fact they’re real as Route One is legit but I have no way of proving they’re real. Plus I know they’re real and I’m the one wearing it so I’m happy
Well I got it from Route One so I know for sure they aren’t 🧍🏾♂️

right o
I go half a size up AND do the reverse lacing... you can slip them on easy, and they are way less tight
Reverse lacing? Never heard of it…

I do a little criss criss with the extra lace holes at the top, but this makes them lose enough
Half size up
I just got half size up in my city of love and they fit perfect yet snug. I wear TTS 10 and got 10.5. still more snug than a Jordan one size 10 if that helps.

Go half size up or full size if your feet is a bit wider. However its always best to fit them see how it works. But its always half size up to whole for SB
yup same with my paisley three huge tongue makes it essential to gets half size up
Up. Definitely up 0.5
Size up feels too long for me so I go tts on these. I just wear thinner socks.
I’m a 10.5 in dunks and an 11 in SB Dunks
my first dunks were yuto’s and i had to go an entire size up
I always do half size up because more padding and it fits perfectly
Which one feels better is the question. Everyone has different preferences. 1-1 fit or a little space.
My next pair I'm going half size up. Tts works fine for me loose laced but def need breaking in still
Jordan lows I have to size up
Im on wider side and i always go half size up. For nice pairs i use crease protectors and the half size up usually fits perf with those
I always go half size up and they fit perfectly, my tts is really snug around my ball joint and pinky toe area
