Tour ultras run true to size?
« on: December 17, 2006, 12:50:30 PM »
Being my street shoe size is 12 1/2 do the tour  ultras run true to size? Currently using Dexter SST5 sports. I got those in size 13 and I swim in them. Don't want to make the same mistake twice.

Thanks for any help

Do you wear a size 12 1/2 street shoe also, sixcranker? I emailed D/T to see if they have a sizing guide or something of the sort.

John bowled Shaq O'Neal for those shoes and he beat Shaq out of them.

In reality, most people say the Tour Ultra's run true to size, but for me, they are about 1/2 size big. I wear a size 11 shoe, wore size 11 in Dexters, but I think I could have gotten by with size 10 1/2 in Tour Ultra's. Maybe it is because the Tour Ultra's are a bit wider than other shoes although I didn't order wide shoes. Nonetheless, they are the most comfortable shoe I have ever had.

As of 10:25 I still haven't heard anything from D/T. should probably hear from them tomorrow. Thanks for the replies. I think I will try the 12's. Better to be a little snug than to be sliding an extra 3/4" after the shoe stops.

Mine ran a little big for me.  I wear 10s in street shoes.  I ordered 10s and they "feel" a bit big.  Nothing too noticeable and can be covered up by lacing them a bit tighter.  

In short, I'm sure if you ordered your regular size...you should be fine.

Unfortunately my street shoe size is 12 1/2. So for most of my adult life I have been forced to either swim in shoes or have them be a little too small. I have found that if you order running sneakers online most places will have 12 1/2 but in most retail stores its either 12 or 13.

For my feet:
  Nike - size 11.5 (perfect fit)
  Reebok - Size 12 (but still a little too narrow)
  Tour Ultra - size 11.5 (fit exactly like Nike)
