Just was looking at these online and came here to see if anyone had an opinion on these. Guess you do..... What about sizing? Did you get your normal size as your other plate shoes? Where did you buy yours?

on plate shoes, half sizing up is always wise because the protective toe box narrows the fit. also, the boombah, elite, and 3N2 "mid" cut tend to fit smaller, at least that is my personal experience.

Are you saying 1/2 size up for 3N2 from my other plate shoes, or just 1/2 size up from dress shoes? My other plate shoes are 1/2 size up from dress shoes, also some of by base shoes.

buy a half size up from your normal size you wear, the normal US size.

if your foot is a bit on the chunky side, I'd consider buying the wide size as well.

For future reference, I wish I had ordered the 3N2 plate shoes a full size up from dress shoes, which would be a 1/2 size up from my Riddells.

But, great comfort, 2 games the first day with no pain.

the foam on the top plate started separating from the leather. I called, emailed pics of the separation, and they sent me a new pair.

they got great customer service.
