I wanted to share my sizing experience with other brands, compare it to the two WoW 10 shoes I have used for awhile, and then to get some community feedback on their sizing experience with WoW shoes.
Foot Length: 11.13 inches (heel to toe)
Food Width: 4.16 inches (in the widest part of my foot at the forefoot)
Adidas sizing: US Men's 11. For all adidas shoes, I have found I can order true to size (or even downsize just a tad) according to their size chart for a perfect fit. Pairs I have worn that fit perfect in size 11: Harden Volumes 3,4, and 7.
Nike Sizing: US Men's 11.5. I've found I have to order a minimum size of 11.5 due to how narrow some Nike shoes can fit me in the forefoot. Sizing up anymore makes the shoe too long for my foot. Pairs I have worn that fit perfect in size 11.5: KD14
WoW Sizing: US Men's 11.5 (but thinking I should have ordered size 11). I own two pairs of the WoW 10, the white hot and the blossom colorways, both in size US Men's 11.5. According to the WoW size chart I am a size 11. Their size guide says to size up if unsure about the fit, so I went with size 11.5.
Blossom colorway: has a stretchy mesh upper that fit perfect right out of the box. After just a couple weeks of use, the forefoot area started to loosen up and I began to feel a lot of friction and slip on the fit. I have to really tighten the forefoot with the laces to get a perfect fit, and it still fits well, just not as good as it did out of the box. The shoe is also a little bit long as I have a little bit more than a thumbs width of space at the end of my shoe when standing up.
White Hot colorway: has a "highly breathable and durable mesh knit upper" according to the WoW website. This upper is a lot more rigid than the blossom's and is made up of a bunch of harder plastic strings woven together. Even after months of use, this shoe still fits me perfect in both length and forefoot width. No loose feeling forefoot with normal lacing and have about an index fingers length of extra room at the end of my shoe. I assume this mesh knit doesn't stretch out like that of the blossom and the fit you get out of the box stays relatively the same after breaking them in.
I was looking to try out the WoW 10 Low edition and was thinking I will get a size 11 this time. Especially since the upper mesh looks to be the same as the blossom colorway. Was just curious if anyone else owned different pairs with the varying upper meshes and could comment on how the sizing has been for them, thanks!
Yeah I would agree. With WoW go tts with Nike, not up a half size as they say, mine are a bit more spacious than I'd have liked, may send back my 10s to wowsole and get a 9.5 if the shipping isn't too expensive. Mine are the Art colorway, really wish I could get the tns ones though haha.
I wish! I'm a poser here, I wear basketball shoes for playing volleyball because I find them a lot nicer and both are court sports :p
Exactly yeah. Well then you should be really happy you didn't follow WoW's advice of going a half size up from Nike because you'd be swimming in 12s haha.
I'm with you there, we're on team half size too big

Interesting. Wide feet maybe or is it actually quite short length-wise on you?
And cheers :p
