Sizing question

Is a size 45 EU a size 12 US?

I found my second favorite pair of Rick sneaks for 600

Also how large do ricks run? Like half a size? Full size? Could I fit into a size 45 if I'm size 13

all shoes are actually constructed with glue, including traditional welted shoes. glued soles can still be repaired, very easily in fact, simply by regluing the sole to the upper or gluing a new sole to the upper. the only way a glued shoe would be unrepairable would be if the upper sheered, which would nuke a stitched shoe as well. stitching around the toe and the front of the sole does serve a purpose, because it's a common point of failure for glued soles and the stitching will help the sole stay functional and attractive for a longer period of time.

I agree on your point, but I think it's a bit too much of an initial plunge for someone who has been wearing skate shoes all of their life. I remember dropping 200+ on my first pair, and that was quite a milestone, but something that you need to build up to from ~60'ish skate shoes.

>> No.6130178

>>6130167
Pretty much this, the only thing you need to take into account is whether or not a particular item fits into your personal style. And that has nothing to do with being 'stylish' or 'fashionable' if you have good taste and know how to dress you will look good. Rather than spending money on items that are 'fashionable' and in the end you can still end up looking like shit.
