How’s the sizing on these? I very much hope they run large..
This was answered but yeah it's kinda like a made in USA nb I feel.
I wonder if they'll ever do Walter Payton stuff again
They absolutely should. I wonder if their new ownership wants to though/cares. They are doing a lot of collaborations with European brands and pushing the Made in Germany aspect heavy it seems.

Latest pickup: Morprime x Tommy Triggah x Kangaroos Racer Hybrid

The Desert Oak-like cw is a classic, but the picture cannot show just how great the execution and material mix is.

Great pick up, I haven’t been able to pull the trigger on them yet but will eventually pick up a pair.

I just got in the rainbow trouts and really love them

Both the trouts and the VICs (that cw makes me forget the silo they chose) are on my list, but it's getting too much too fast for me now. And the next ones are just around the corner...

Since they do not do half sizes in these is it safest to go up of you're in-between? I'm a 9.5, I'm thinking of getting the size 10. Great pickup.

I'm a 9.5 as well and went size 10. They're a bit roomier than Ultimates but a size 9 would be small for me.

I have the VICs, silo is definitely not one of their best but the quality on them is unmatched. Possibly one of the highest quality leather I’ve felt on a pair. Can get them for about $220 shipped here with code cosmos

 
My Denims from the Traditions Pack and some Vintage hikers I got waiting for me at my dad's place I picked up on ebay a few months ago. ROOS are awesome!!

A lot of people say that Kangaroos fit a little big, but there's two things to take into consideration. One is that it's only in EU sizing, so it makes it a little tricky at times. And the second is that since a lot of Roos are assembled by hand, there can be inconsistencies among shoes even though they're marked the same size. I wear a US11 in dress shoes like Grenson, Church's, Trickers, or shoes like Clarks, Cole Haan, but I need a 12 in shoes like Asics GLIII, Ultraboost. Almost everyone I asked told me I could fit a EU44 in Roos, but I went against them and got a 45 in all 3 of my Roos. I think 45 was the right choice for me, because 44 would have been just way too small.

Generally the conversions are kind of similar to this...

43=9/9.5
44=10/11
45=11.5/12
46=12.5/13

I also find Roos to be a little cramped in the toes, but a little roomy around the ankle. I remember when the Sneakerbaas Roos came out, people were having issues with the stitching coming undone and panels ******* up after like a wear or two. And I had the A Few Jelly Roos, they were very unevenly put together. If you looked at the Left and Right pair straight on you'd think one was assembled by a worked and one was done by a kid. Personally I'd grab some Sonra or Diadora instead, I ended up getting rid of 2 out of 3 of my Roos. Sonra are made in the same factory as Roos, but they seem to pay a little closer attention. Quality control is better on Sonra IMO, I had 3 pairs and all were flawless in terms of materials and construction and sizing was also consistent.

Sorry for the long message, but they are pretty expensive kicks so better safe than sorry haha.
Im the same size as you for the most part. My true size is 10.5 but I get 11 in Jordan's all the time as I need an 11. I go with my true size in Roos and find the fit exactly how you described in regards to heel and toebox. I did have an 11 in the Dead Birds collab and they were just a bit too big so I sold them off. I think it's very much a TTS shoe for the MIG line and I have a wide foot. I don't think id ever recommend sizing up on MIG Roos.
