I have a problem Im sure at least one of you has gone thru...
I am a 8.5 and it seems a shoe I want only comes in full sizes, what can I do??
I was thinking on getting some inserts and putting them in to make it a bit smaller?
Or will that make em too small???
Any help is appreciated!!!

Re: Half Size Dilema
I got the size bigger (9) and its the SK8 model... maybe a Dr Scholls insert might help??FTHATIMFAMOUS wrote:Too small: Dr. Scholls insole (Really only helps on Pro models, Vaults and Syndicates.)
Too big: Double sock! (Plus its feels better than 1 sock!)
Hope this helps.
Double sock wont be a solution for me..... Would be way too much bulk, I wear Thor-los and they are thick already.

Re: Half Size Dilema
I have 8.5 Stussy Black Sheep Sk8 His that I want to wear but theyre too small and the insole s glued down, I still havent decided if I'm gonna sell or rip it out.
Well i am also an 8.5 an when i have bought 8's because i just cant find my size or i am desperate i take the insole out . Now when i go up to 9 i just add another insole and wear thick socks.
But in your case FTIF i would really make sure you wanna keep those Stussy Sk8's , because if you rip out that insole the value will decrease a lot if you ever want to sell.

Re: Half Size Dilema
HAHA, WHAT? Kinda sounds like your talking to your self. Like when you make that amazing shot, but no one else sees it!
Yeah, thats my main concern, also, it took me forever to track a pair down, and I dont want to ruin it then decide they dont fit right anyway, theyll probably sit in my closet forever.
UNLESS SOMEONE WANTS TO TRADE SIZE 9-9.5 DS!?

Re: Half Size Dilema
Don't mess those ones up. Especially if the sole is the glued in ones! Wait for another pair to come up, and then sell these. Always go bigger, unless you know the shoe comes with the removable insoles, and even then, it's almost unbearable with no type of padding in Vans! Go and buy those $9 slim foam insoles like in Supreme Bruins, or Pumas...that should help a little bit at least.
