What's the recommended sizing on these?  

I bought two pairs since I didn't have any previous one and wanted them.  One had the odd slight hump and I can see some uncleaned glue, but they don't bother me at all.  It's not like Hunchback of Notre Dame big though. Plus, not like anyone's putting them up to their eyes and closely examining...

Yeah, I learned my lesson.  I bought a few shoes online at the same time and slowly rolled them out.  Next time going to try them on immediately to make sure size is right.  

 I'm giving you props for having a job that allows you to wear sneakers to what looks like an office job.  Wish I could do that.  

Finally tried them on in store.  Was on the fence and didn't end up copping.  Felt like they looked better in pics then on my feet.  Hate that. 

I would also try going into the store.  Was up in SF this past weekend and they had the triple black qasa highs.  Didn't have my size though.  Tried looking them up online and they weren't available at all so some might not make it into the system.  On a side note, the sales guy told me he...

Love the look of the shoe.  I went TTS, but I have wide feet so I wish I went half size up as the toe is more snug than I like.  I unDS them after return/exchange period so I'm making them work. Got two but since they seem to run half size smaller, I'm hoping my future little bro-in-law can fit...

I find that Sneaker Politics pics always make the shoe look better than they really are.   I wasn't planning to cop, but they're slowly growing on me.  Picked up two of the white cobalts already, but might get these as well.

Half size up.  I got the double nickel in 11 and they fit great.  Normally a 10.5 and I have wide feet too.  

What do you guys recommend for a wide footer in the foams?  TTS for me is 10.5, but for narrow/odd toe boxes like the 2015 Bordeauxs an 11 would be better (got a 10.5 and it's slightly cramped for my small toes).  Do you think it's the same for foams?
