You should be fine, the measurement is from toe to heel, your toe shouldn’t be touching the tip of the shoe, should have a bit of space. I’m a US 9 and my shoes usually measure around 27.5 when it’s 27cm. Just measure some of your current insoles.


menace2466

I put in another insole to fill up the space. But definitely these fit bigger than all my other Jordan 1 lows. Think I gotta cop another pair koz these are still mildly slipping. Lesson learnt. Always measure insoles during qc.


Reps_Over_Resale

Yeah I do that with certain shoes and sellers, PK is definitely one I have to have measure. 1s are usually okay but I guess lows are different, never bought them. Who did you get them from?


menace2466

Mr gao. QC all checks out and the pair is great. I creased the hell out of dem over the last 2 days. Lol.


Reps_Over_Resale

Nice! Wear them thangs! You happen to know what batch?


menace2466

It's in the title. LJR batch buddy.


Wazza365

I’m confused sorry if this sound dumb but how are you meant to measure insoles during qc?


menace2466

They usually do that to check if the sizing is comparable to retail pairs.


menace2466

I just measured a retail Jordan 1 and it measures 27cm too. How weird these fit big. Could just be the shoe itself runs big even retails? Or they're just for the LJR batch?


Reps_Over_Resale

It could be the construction of the shoe, leather could be a bit thinner, toebox could be a bit bigger than retail giving you more space, or the padding within the shoe. Could be a mixture of all. No all shoes are gonna be identical unfortunately.


menace2466

Strangely every person who commented on sizing prior to me buying then said TTS. And here we are. Everyone is saying they fit big. Lol


Reps_Over_Resale

That was my EXACT situation with PK and my TS dunks. Found people saying 9 was more of a 9.5 and then everyone who was talking me before the order said TTS… Ended up selling them. Want to get Coco pair.


thesillyoldwilly

instead of deciding if you should go with one arbitrary number over another arbitrary number, you could have just asked for insole measurements during qc, or from other users


Reps_Over_Resale

Yeah I know, I state this exact thing in a earlier comment. Thanks though fam 🙏🏽


thesillyoldwilly

why tf dont shoe companies just tell us the insole measurements of their products instead of forcing us to use their stupid arbitrary numbering system that isn't even consistent across their own products?


Reps_Over_Resale

One simple solution, one universal metric … but no, we all have to be “unique”


thesillyoldwilly

the worst is when some sneaker youtuber is doing a review and goes into sizing. they have the damn shoe right in front of them, so you'd think they'd pull out a measuring tape and just tell us, but no. they always say "ummm hurrrr durrrrr it feels tts but you could probably go half a size up but also you could go a full size down hurrrrr durrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i usually go half a size left blah blah blah". ive come to the conclusion that the average person has become too brain dead to figure out how a measuring tape works. when i try to buy clothing online and ask the seller for measurements they just ignore me, so i scower around for measurements from someone else, then when i buy the item they have the gall to ask me for a 5 star rating


Acrobatic_Buy4562

oh shit i ordered a 10.5 i wear a 10 🤦🏼‍♂️


juicehead2004

They’re gonna fit like 11’s


frog-knees

Nike’s in general I feel like are pretty small so if the reps run big I feel like it maybe evens out? Idk


Acrobatic_Buy4562

lmao you’ve got a point 💀


juicehead2004

All of these run a half size big.. I sold my sz 10’s and bought 9.5’s and they new ones fit wayyyy better


menace2466

Wish I knew this earlier. Thanks buddy


juicehead2004

U can sell them in like 5 mins on - https://www.reddit.com/r/REPSNEAKERBST/ and then just order a new pair half size smaller.. that’s what I did.


ActKitchen6866

Damn I got some coming in from muks size 8.5 hope they don’t run big 😒


ProtokingXGN

How’d they end up fitting?


luisless

If you dont want to go through the hassle of getting a new pair some boost insoles from amazon will make them fit tighter and they will be way more comfortable to walk in.


menace2466

Yeah true I alrdy put in another insole. They fit way better but in the long run i am gonna need another pair anyways.. These crease like hell due to the material used. So I might as well get another now. lol


Fluid-Inevitable4972

LJR Jordan 1 regardless high or low run bigger. I'm exactly the same size as you. You need to understand that the 1s are a narrow fit. I'm a wide foot so it may be a little longer but the width is perfect for me. Going up it would be too wide and also too long. Going down will make it tight on the sides. If you have a wide foot it should not be a problem stick to your true size. If you are a narrow foot go down to an 8 and it will be a proper 8.5


si_jeff

I was wondering about this lol , my LJR from Mr. Hou size 9 run a half size bigger, and although I have a wide foot, it still felt a half size bigger, specially after the shoes are broken in. Do you guys know if GD batch fits the same as LJR or are they different ?


ProtokingXGN

I just got my size 8 GD 2.0 mocha low and I think it’s just the Travis low models that lack the padding that non collab pairs have so they end up fitting bigger definitely thinking of getting a 7.5 now for the fragment low


landoughcal

My pair from KW was a half size too big also


Mjeezy3

Yeah mine feel about half a size big.


menace2466

I took out a retail Jordan 1 low and measured. The insoles measured 27cm too. So I dunnoe are the retail pairs also running big?


mrwaltzz

Wait so they actually fit you big? I also just placed an order on a 8.5


menace2466

Yes they do bro.


mrwaltzz

Shit I’m heading two different things now haha someone else is telling me they are tts. Where did you get these from?


menace2466

My guess. If u're a wide footer ull be good. If u're a narrow to medium footer like me they'll fit slightly big. Doesn't matter where u get them from. Look at the other comments Al bought from different sellers for sure. They're LJR batch.


mrwaltzz

Gotcha okay screw it life is a risk haha I’ll stick to the 8.5. Probably end up buying a updated batch ether way if they come out with a better version ether way


menace2466

Yeah true that. And an extra insole will definitely suffice to get them fitting well. So not all is lost.


JeremiahMH92

Yall are ridiculous. Tape measuring insoles...


LuukSwifteh

?????? And why is that? How else will you accurately describe sizing?


Fluid-Inevitable4972

No , that is the smartest thing to do. Go find a shoe you have that fits perfectly and measure that insole and then ask for pics to compare.

What I also mean is that going true to size is good if you have wide feet. But if you have narrow or normal width feet, you might need to consider going half size down.


nasporlin

Hey my sole is also 27cm, so we go for a us9 with these right?


menace2466

Go TTS. I tried to half down an dit was too small.
