American sizing is criminal capitalist bullshit without standards. I am a 47. It fits perfectly. American sizing allows brands to fit and size differently to create anti consumer manipulation. The shoes are made in the same places. Just the American targeted junk is exploitive nonsense by design.
Also, are any shoe brands making quality sneakers like existed 5+ years ago? This 3D formed fabric junk is low quality nonsense that lasts a quarter as long as shoes from 5+ years ago. I loved Asics for a long time but everything they sell now is this low quality 3D formed crap.
European sizing is also differently, i have shoes 42-43. I think even 1 pair of 41. There’s no shoe law
Sure, but this is Lemmy. You’re not allowed to defend US measurements
? I wasn’t defending them I was pointing out that OP wouldn’t have this problem under kind of worldwide dictatorial- or star trek- communism. Or so
Why are you unable to use a simple size comparison chart?
Exactly. Convert your size to the seller’s size and buy that one. You may need to experiment. Shoe sizes are not scientific units.
Honestly, as toxic as Lemmy is about refusing to accept personal criticism, I’m surprised that you (the person I replied to) haven’t been down voted to oblivion.
No idea about the sizing, but I recommend New Balance or Skechers as good shoe brands. I worked at an orthotics lab and we recommend those as good for your feet and decent durability.
Do you really think European sizes are some magic loophole to make things fit better? Spoiler alert: they’re all made in the same factory and just use the conversion chart from Google to convert the size
