IHSN-01 - Low Top Sneakers in 21oz Selvedge Indigo, 21oz Superblack, 21oz White

@Giles:

I'd go 9.5…BUT to be supersafe (and as you are in the UK) we'll send you a couple of sizes and you send back the pair that does not work....

Thanks Giles, much appreciated. I’ll order now. Cheers, Paul H.

Are the size tags on the box already converted in UK sizing?  Can someone post a pic of the size tag on the box please?  Thanks

[Giles]

There's no conversion needed.  They are UK size.  What the box says is what the shoe says is what the sizing table says.  Why do you need a photo of the box?

FWIW, I just received mine in the mail (ordered both colors but not sure if keeping both yet)… my feet measure to an 8.5 on a brannock device and the 8's fit me pretty well.  For reference I wear an 8.5 in Adidas Ultra Boost, 8 in Converse Chucks, 8 in most Viberg lasts, and 8 in the Alden Barrie last.  Hope this helps!

Now just trying to figure out if I can justify keeping the indigo ones!  For sure I'm gonna be keeping the black ones as I feel like they are classic looking and can go with anything.

@Giles or anyone on the IH staff, I'm sure this has been answered already but will the indigo shoes fade at all?  I'm thinking that I may want to keep the indigo ones if they will fade to become a lighter color with age.

[Giles]

They'll fade, just like all of our 21oz indigo selvedge does….Same stuff....

A(nother) plea for a 12 or 13 in the upcoming hi-tops!!!

[Giles]

The 11 in the low tops is equivalent to a US 12

[DK]

I know, but I take a US 13-14! Makes barefoot skiing easier (I imagine–never tried). Also tripping on things.

No over dyed option? Haha

I think I might have to get me a pair of these….indigo of course. Have to measure my Chuck 70s, prob fit into 9s or 9.5s easily.

How do these compare to the Chuck 70s in midsole comfort? Snug fit or enough to throw in a pair of insoles for added comfort if needed?

25oz up next? Haha, just kidding. Hope the soles are built to to last as long as the denim or longer.

I was able to get some pedag washable insoles in mine without any issues (http://a.co/dufPGcM)…  Even with the insoles in mine I can still wear thin no-show socks without any comfort issues.

As for the midsole comfort I'd say they're pretty close to chucks that I've had before... the insoles, however, are not as cushiony as Chucks so if you're planning on wearing these with thin socks then I'd say throwing in your own insoles would be the way to go.

Just got mine today. I am an 11 in Converse and I got a 10 in these. Fit is perfect. They look and feel amazing, all that remains to be seen is how they last. I beat the crap out of my chucks so we'll see how this goes.

[neph93]

Super clean @premo. Great score. Please do let us know how they get on.

[Iron Heart] New order
CUSTOMER MESSAGE:
Really love these, so I’m getting a back-up pair

Can't say fairer than that

[neph93]

I’ve decided I must have a pair. Need indigo though and they sold out in my size a looooong time ago….

[Seul]

Think I need a pair as well… Not because I like them, as far as sneakers go I hate Chucks etc, but because I know they'll be well made and comfortable...

Only thing holding me back is the logo... Easy to get rid of or no dice?..

As well as these are selling, has there been any talks about future runs, and future runs in color variations (At least, all black)?

[ivanlesmana]

I received the Indigo almost three weeks ago but I just got home couple days ago LOL.
Ordered size 7 (using the measurement chart) and they're perfect fit, with thin socks.
Just for reference, I wear Red Wings Linemen, Beckmen, Iron Rangers, Oxford all size 8, except 9877 & 875 size 7.5.

Haraki asked me if I wanted to rerun the indigo last week.  I  said that I would tell him in a few weeks when retailers had seen how they did for them….

Great combo from Japan:
