Re: loose converse sneakers
My usual US sports footwear size is 11 (which I wear because I have a sort of turned up toe and a smaller size tends to make it rub which I hate). For years though, because Chucks have a high toe, I wore size 10 (Mens). Then one day I was sitting next to a guy who had his feet up (green hi's with the green sole) who was wearing size 11 and I thought, why not. So I tried and converted and now have 80 in that size. My toe goes just under the toe cap when standing so I find it gives me about two fingers space in front of my toes instead of the recommended one - but they are just a bit wider for my Aussie feet and I love them just to be nice and comfy - no tight bits. So yes, I sorta wear mine a bit big. My wife is a convert too - she now wears mens size 7 for the same reason and I get to play with a few more pairs of eight eyelet shoes and her feet and her butt and well, sorry, I have to stop and make sure she's been wearing them hot all weekend............:icon_bigg:icon_chee
