Really looking forward to getting my feet into a pair (or several) of these. Still got a couple of pairs of the Spanky G6 on ice, love those. Gotta be dropping soon right @Londonskater ?

Good to know most of the reductions are reflected across other NB country sites otherwise if you order outside the UK you’ll be paying those reductions back in customs duties

Rocking some black/gum 600’s at the minute, broke in nicely after a short while of feeling tight around my front right foot. £45 - £54 depending on colourway is a pretty sweet price for them….
There is always that DTC model which undercuts SOS which is always a bit…smelly.

I half-sized up in them (Knox 600) but if I was skating more seriously, I’d probably do my normal size and let them stretch. I wanted to support Tom, who has been killing it since he was making me look like a beginner back when he was like 10 at Moorgate carpark… but I find it a hard shoe to love. The sole in the forefoot is too thick for me for good boardfeel but the shoe isn’t quite stable enough to be my ‘I’m old and want to jump down a 3 stair’ shoe (usually Tiagos or Dunks).
I’ve been skating Alexis’ shoe when I can find them cheap. The durability isn’t great honestly, but Alexis is dope and the shoe skates great while it lasts. It’s basically a thinner, slimmer Dunk as far as I can tell.

Ahh, I’ve not skated mine yet and unlikely I will as I prefer the Westgates. I noticed what you’re saying about stability but didnt think too much of it and put it down to lack of tongue straps at the time.
I did a two stair recently. Get me - hardcore!

I really like my 600s. Was skating 440s for quite a while but I find the 600 are pretty similar but with a bit more support which is great. I wear my usual size and they bed in great after a few skates.

Can someone with Tiago’s remind me how they size again?
Size up/down? Tight/compare to Nike sizing or something? I’m usually a solid Nike UK8/Sole Tech 8/Vans 8
I’m the same, uk 8 in pretty much everything except adidas. 8.5 in my 1010’s.
Yeah I went half a size up to a 9.5, they’re fine. Although it’s weird, I seem to be going half a size up in more or less every brand now, my current Nike runners are a 9.5 whereas I always used to buy nines. But I still have old shoes that fit fine so it’s not my feet inexplicably growing I don’t think.
Don’t they have a size chart on their site?
1010s might size up slightly.
Only bit that took a seasons to get used to were the ankle nodules that stop your heel from slipping.
I’m a UK10 in Nike and UK11 in all NB.
I went tts and they were fine. I read so much advice about going up and down that I gave up. Same size I wear dunks and lynx in, if that’s relevant information to you.
Surely size up and size down advice depends on your shoe size, rather than being applicable in all circumstances.
but what size are you usually
Nine point five
