Trade new Nike Ballestra shoe

[Fenceguy]

I have recently acquired a new pair of men's size 10.5 Nike Ballestra fencing shoe. Color is white with blue Nike sash. The shoes are 1/2 size to big. Anyone out there have a men's size 10 to trade?

Im getting mine tomorrow, if they don't fit, ill trade with you.

[Fenceguy]

Thanks. Let me know and I will provide contact info. The shoes I have are new in box . . . not worn.

Yearsofwisdom,

Also, found that some previous reading on the forum proved valid. I read where these shoes seem to fit loose. My son usually wears size 10.5 and these Nike shoes fit long at 10.5. They seem to fit a bit narrow also but okay.

Keep me posted how your shoes fit. If you keep your shoes I may have to send mine back unless I can find a trade or possibly buyer. Don't think I will have a hard time finding either. These shoes are popular.

I don't have a trade, but I'd be willing to buy.

Let me hear back 'yearsofwidsom' who may want to trade. If I can't trade I will probably sell.

Thanks

Sounds good.

[yearsofwisdom]

just curious rebelfencer, what would you offer to buy a pair of ballestras?

[RebelFencer]

Depends on how used, etc. If they are pretty much new I would expect to pay less than buying directly from the dealer, but fairly close.

[yearsofwisdom]

hey Fence,
I am so sorry but my shoes fit PERFECTLY, best of luck to you finding a trader or at least a buyer. I am sure you can profit of your mistake . HAPPY NEW YEARS!

[Fenceguy]

yearsofwisdom,

Found our shoes did fit too big. Glad yours okay. I will see if anyone else may want a trade.

So are you meaning 10.5US or 10.5UK?
I am a 10.5 US thats UK 10 i think normally (that is with Dart'II). Are yours running half a size too big as some have said they do, or are you normally a US 10?

Cheers

These shoes are size 10.5 U.S.
They do seem to run half size to big as my son usually wears a size 10.5 and these shoes are about a half size too big.

?? Where did you get them? I can't find them anywhere!

[Fenceguy]

Wetmellon,

There was a limited supply of specific sizes sold on the Nike website a few weeks ago. I think there is currently a men's U.S. 8.5 still listed for sale on the site. The color was white with red Nike splash.

I have new a pair of white 8 1/2 with red swoosh that I was going to send back for a full refund, but would be willing to trade for a slightly larger size.

[Wetmelon]

Oh! On the Nike site. Yea, I found them today but they were all sold out of everything. And I would need a size 12.

[yearsofwisdom]

yup all gone.... so fast wow.... i had to see/wear the shoe for myself. i will definitely be ordering another pair.

So, is that a yes or no on selling the shoes?

I am intending to run this 'ad' a few days to see if any others out there have shoes to trade. Someone in our club will probably want them at the price I paid plus sales tax I paid (save me the shipping back to Nike).

If I do not find any trade or other offer from my club I will contact you first to see if something can be worked out.

Thanks
