| Those shoes weren't that bad. Actually, what am I saying, the blue ones were. The brown ones looked like some shoes I saw once, but the sorta look like bowling shoes, in a odd way  .

| I am strangely drawn to the brown and blue ones. I wish they did them in my size. Why is this store selling retro Fencing shoes? | |

| The brown shoes are waaaaay better. They look more retro to me anyways, and I don't like the highlighter blue color. It hurts my eyes.

They - as you americans would probably say - rule!
I am in love with the brown ones!!!
Should anyone feel they have just a little too much money, then feel free to support my "MHTBS" (Must Have Those Brown Shoes) campaign.

| So for those of us who are actually interested in ordering these shoes, does anyone know anything about them.
Specifically, the sizing information as to if they run small or large?
I have shoes between sizes 10 and a half and 13 that all fit the same so I know it varies greatly by the company.
A couple of friends have d'art IIs at size 10 and a half that are about too small for my feet. I feel like 11s there would be appropriate. Anyone know if these are similar?
All of this is in reference to the original links posted.

| Are any of those actually good shoes to fence in. How are they compared to the Dart's? Would it be worth it (besides the way they look, of course)? | |

I figure they'd be good and distracting. Just do an appel and when your opponent is distracted by this flash of color down on the strip you fleche.
On the gripping hand, Matt Delevoryas down in Gulf Coast Division would give you a paisley card for wearing them. | |

Would it be worth it (besides the way they look, of course)? | my new pair of onitsuka tiger fencing LA Shoes are nice, and so far have great traction on wooden gym floors. new shoes, only been using for a couple weeks. No sign of wear so far. The yellow color does run into your socks very little but that isnt a issue to me. Gotten several good comments on the wild color scheme. They are well made, Im thinking they may hold up was well as my old darts did. Only time will tell.. | |

| Well, I suppose I'll just have to wear equally bright yellow socks when I fence in the Onitsukas!
...But, to echo the question above, how does the sizing feel? Is it a bit large or small compared to other shoes you've worn?
