Here's my size 9 side by side with my 9.5 Pure Boosts. If these are TTS then I'm Kanye West.

These definitely DON'T fit big. It seems pretty clear that's a general consensus. Dude must have weird fit or got a weird pair because there's no way. You could easily go up a full size even in the UB and still wear them if you wanted to.
The problem is they're really slim but fit normal length wise in the toe box. I imagine everyone sizing up is doing it to compensate for the tightness in the width.
I wear a 8.5 and tried on a 8 at Foot Locker and couldn't do it, it was way too small. The 8.5 fits perfectly snug around my foot, bit of room in the toe box to where I could of sized down, but because of the width as stated no way could I do it.

Quick snap as well. Same results. Not sure what to tell you bro. Great example of how the Pure is perfect for the both of us at 9.5 but no way would I size down for the Ultra, it'd be way too snug. not sure if color has anything to do with it.
Both are 9.5

Damn, I can see why you're pissed, son. Here are the 7.5 boost comparisons. Much closer than that. Dunno if they tweaked the sizing for the newer colorways, but that's just ridiculous.

Some of you guys are funny. You choose what info you want to accept as opposed to really looking at what people are honestly saying. When UBs first came majority of us that bought them all said .5 size down, tts if your feet are really wide, but you'll probably be dealing with length issues.
Now everybody mad they got the wrong size. Adidas almost never is tts, compared to Nike which people use as their true size.

Feel bad for dudes who truly don't know their shoe size/how to size certain shoes 
But it is a learning process.

Both 12.5, which I consider to be my True size (with all brands)
Sometimes I do size up to 13 and sometimes I do go down to 12 (if a shoe fits big)
But 12.5 is always my safest bet. Any brand. Now my 12.5 pure boost does fit a lot more snug than these
(I consider those to fit small). These are a more comfortable snug, the pure boost are an alright snug but borderline too tight.
It's really about understanding your feet at the end of the day.
Ps. No I don't have wide or fat feet. I'm a skinny brotha with bony fit.
Could I do 12 instead of 12.5? Meh maybe but it'd be pushing it. Could I do a 13 instead of 12.5? Don't think so. Would be to long.
I'm a 12.5 in flyknit racers and a XL in prestos for comparison.

Silver LTDs just got dropped off.

My 9.5 ended up fitting perfectly, which is also my NB, Saucony, and most Nike size. I probably could've gone up .5 and still would've been fine.

Damn the grey joints are looking really nice. I might cop those and cut off the cage. The custom black ones with the cut cage and laces woven in were nice.

Can't really blame em; you're comparing two UBs, but these guys expected two different models regarded as TTS to at least be of similar length. Wonky sizing around size 9 or quality control issues by Adidas are to blame, if anything.

Just got home and tried my pair on and did the same exact thing. Mind is blown as to how cushy they areWhite UBs just came in. Threw em on and started laughing. They feel like pillows and I feel like I'm bouncing

I will probably go up .5 when i get my next pair. The length is no problem, they just feel a bit tight width and height wise in the midfoot area.

People need to realize it's a RUNNING shoe with a unique fit that's intended to be super snug. I've been rocking boost since the very first energy boost. When that dropped, adidas said TTS for the intended fit or up .5 for a more traditional fit, which is basically saying size .5 up for your TTS. It was the same with the EB2s. I haven't tried a pair of UB yet, so maybe these just have a slightly different fit than previous boost runners, but it just seems everyone expects these to fit like Jordans or something, so they're trying to compensate for that snug/tight fit or complaining about it. I do agree adidas can be somewhat inconsistent at times and everyone's foot is different, so always best to try a model on in store first. But man, while all these people are complaining about sizing, I'm just sitting here waiting for adidas to ship my pair out haha guess I'm either #teamontime or #teamcancelparty.I've never seen so much inconsistency.

Damn, yeah I really appreciate this, I guess it just comes down to everyone's feet being unique. You're not experiencing any heel slipping in the 9.5 UBs?
Thanks for your reply as well. I think the difference here might be because my comparison used the Pure Boost 1, while yours is the PB 2s. I sure hope the UBs aren't actually varying that much from color to color.
EDIT: Actually you used both the PB1 and 2 in your pics right? Hmm..

Crazy that the sizing is so off in the pictures. Will probably stick with my true size when these release.
