I really like the blue.

Not that I'm in the market but I go back and forth on whether I like the sole color or not. White soles would be too much like Chucks I guess.

davito, do you have any recent/good shots on the wabash? It looks amazing!

[davito]

Thx guys these are really good
@Snowy can take more pics soon, you'll see some recent in my IG

Has anyone bought a pair of the Lofgren Blue Suede Shoes? Looking to buy a pair and wondering how I should size… Let me know if you can help me out, I'm a pretty solid 10 in Cons and a 10 in my Wolverine 1ks. Thanks!

Go cat go. Try emailing John.

Thinking of taking the plunge with a pair of Champion Sneakers. Is a half size up from Viberg and Alden (trubalance) size working for dudes? My sneaker size is oddly high compared to my boots and shoes:

8.5 Viberg 2045
8.5 Alden trubalance
8.5 Trickers
Uk10/US11 Vans, Nike, modern Chuck Taylors and New Balance.

11.5 in Alden TB and JL champions fit great in 12. They ship with two insoles and I found inserting the second insole makes for a better fit. It's possible that your Alden TB size might also work, but I think half sizing up is a solid bet.

Got a hold of John and went with the Blue Suede Shoes in a 10. Also bought the Champion sneaks in camo… will update when I get a hold of em. God, I wish this guy would put out something I didn't absolutely love...

[Sugar Mountain]

Thanks @Chiba J. I think a half size up from Trubalance will be better, because in D width my Alden are close fitting against my feet and in summer I can only wear them comfortably with dress socks. How's the width of the Champion sneakers compared with your Alden?

[Chiba J.]

My Alden TB boots fit me quite big. Champs are a better fit. (but hard to compare shoes and boots…). Based on the way your TBs fit, yes half size up.

[Sugar Mountain]

Great, thanks again. Need a new sneaker for kicking about in at the weekends and these are mighty attractive.

[gwillig]

Just got these in the mail, but unfortunately I sized incorrectly. Although I am a 10 in most Converse, I am definitely not a 10 in these, even with the double insole. I think I am possibly a 9.5, but perhaps a 9 might even be better. I wish I had a way to try them on but I guess I am stuck buying and returning to Self Edge. @Sugar Mountain I would definitely recommend sizing down at least a half size from your regular sneaker size.

[grandmasterben]

For some reason it seems like shoes/boots are always sized larger than they should be.

[mclaincausey]

I'm down a half size on these

@gwillig:

This may not be so easy . . . SE is aware of this angle.

[veloaudio]

So if I'm a 11.5 in New Balance I should go with 11 in the Champions correct?

[mclaincausey]

Yep
