Hiya. Just a bit of help.

I'm a size 6 shoe in all sorts of styles. I'm completely confuddled about what size Converse to buy online. It says they come up large, yet the cm length of my foot is too long for a size 6. If you wear Converse can you please tell me your usual shoe size, plus your Converse one?

Thanks. Posting AIBU for traffic

I think they come up small! They're narrow as well I find.

Mustardbay · 13/02/2021 18:38

I'm a 4.5/5 and had a size 5 but they were tight.

PotteringAlong · 13/02/2021 18:39

I’m a 7 and buy a 7

Discodramas · 13/02/2021 18:39

I’m a 6 and have always bought a 6!

Jackie2022 · 13/02/2021 18:40

I’m a 3.5 and wear a 4 with no issues. I haven’t tried a size 3 in converse actually (I like buying trainers in a size up so they don’t look so tiny!)

The laces mean converse are adjustable (to a certain extent) - you could get away with going slightly bigger than your normal size like I did

Size 6 and buy size 6 converse

I’m a 6 and buy a 6! They are slightly narrow if anything

FlyingByTheSeatof · 13/02/2021 18:43

I'm a 7 and my converse are 7.

MustardMitt · 13/02/2021 18:43

I’m a 4.5 and buy a 5, they fit length wise but they’re very narrow IMO.

For similar skater type trainers Vans or SuperGa are better for wide feet.

peboh · 13/02/2021 18:44

I'm between a 7 and 8 depending on shoe brands and wear a 7 in converse. I've been wearing them for 15+ years, and never had problems with them being too tight etc.

pumpkinpie01 · 13/02/2021 18:44

I'm a 5 and got a 5 , start pinching on toes after half an hour not comfortable at all

Luckyrabbitfoot · 13/02/2021 18:44

I’m a 6 in all other shoes but I wear a 7 in converse. They rub my feet too much otherwise!

ItsTheDramaMickILoveIt · 13/02/2021 18:45

I’m a 6 and mine are a 6! I’ve got the black suede hi top all stars.

Chrispackhamspoodle · 13/02/2021 18:46

I buy my usual size but can't wear them anymore as they gave me a mortons neuroma as they are so narrow...I don't have wide feet.Wore them for years but once I hit 40 they wrecked my feet

Stegosaurus11 · 13/02/2021 18:48

I'm a 6 & buy size 6 in Converse. I absolutely love mine, they are so comfortable.

Beetle76 · 13/02/2021 18:48

I think they come up small and there is a size difference between styles. I am a U.K. 3 or 4 generally and have several shoreline pairs that fit in a size 4. Last pair I bought a different slip on style in a 4 and they were way too small.

Hadjab · 13/02/2021 18:48

I’m a size seven and always by the same in converse, and I have wide feet - they for just fine, but I mainly stick to the leather versions.

RainbowCookie · 13/02/2021 18:52

I’m somewhere between a 5 and a 6, I bought a 5 converse and they fit fine, plenty room at the top of the toe. They did start to pinch my little toe after a longish walk first time I wore them but I think a 6 would be huge, I wear them with shorts as its hot here

Subeccoo · 13/02/2021 18:52

Skinny feet, size 6 converse are perfect for my size 6 feet

whenwillthemadnessend · 13/02/2021 18:52

6 and 6 but my feet are wide rather than long.

I'm a 7 and buy a 7. But, I think you should go with the CM measurement on their size chart. If they're too big, you could always buy an insole or something to make them fit better. Or you can get in touch and ask them why their size chart is wrong!
Figgyboa · 13/02/2021 18:55

Size 5 and buy 5 for converse

Thatusernameisalreadytaken · 13/02/2021 18:55

Im a normal size 4 - I buy a 4, fit perfect.

Walruse · 13/02/2021 18:55

I'm a 6 and would always buy a 6. Fit perfectly!

CeeceeBloomingdale · 13/02/2021 18:57
