just wondering if you have the same problem?

Ill tell you what - I get my kicks true to size; my toes are almost always at the front. It looks better with slimmer jeans and, like you've said, you can lace it better without choking (in my opinion).

i just hate when my toes get sore front touching the front.

my problem is i'm a true 12.5, and a lot of shoes don't come in that size, so most of the time i go with the safe 13 (but can end up being roomy, which doesn't play well with loose lacing). a lot of 12's end up making my toes sore. sizing varies so much, so it's always a struggle finding out what exact size i need.

kicks67- I've been looking for a ds pair of pinstripe blazers for the longest time.

Nice Koston's up there, Crux.

I picked those up earlier today.

  
i was lucky got em off the bay for $70, great shoe cant stop wearing them.

YoungSk8- Dope as always- might have to get me some CGVIII's
Clutchshooter- LbJ III's are good for casual wear but durability drops if u ballin in em. Broke the little piece that holds the metal LB23 sigh on both the OG and blk red cw's. Feels great on and off court though.

I know exactly what you're saying. I just think that I do not where most of my kicks for a long period of time and/or for long walks. I wear them to work but I do not always go out in the community (with my line of work). I would say that 80% of my kicks are not comfortable, lol. But kicks are kicks - if you can scoop shoes that may be tight for cheap then it is what it is. Lol. Sometimes I feel like a Geisha., lol.
