How is the sizing on the NB shoes? Have you ordered your "regular" size or do you order 1/2 size larger?

I always order a half size up. If they're a little loose, I can put on two pairs of socks. If they come too tight...

After a little bit of trouble getting the order straight :-( , my 3n2 plate shoes (low) arrivedI ended up with a full size bigger than my normal shoe and an EE (normal - dddd).

Worth the wait.

I love em.

Can someone please tell me why anyone would buy, let alone make a shoe for standing in the middle of the plate?

I am glad the spammer bumped this thread to the top, otherwise we would've missed out on that joke!

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.
