Pro Model 86 sizing -
Grimmy - 28-08-09
Hey! Sorry to make a new thread again but i've been getting no help whatsoever from any of the shops still selling these Pro Model 86 Remixes considering whether they are the same size than the soop 86s which were nearly a full size bigger than other non-80s soops.
Please if any of you guys (or gals) happen to have these, could you tell whether they are just the same size than most standard soops and pro models or actually much bigger of their like soop 86s or somewhat half size bigger like 80s? Any help appreciated as i'd like to get these to feed my strange fetish for darkish adidas with orange accent coloring and laces but not quite sure about the size. Yet.

They should fit like any other pair of pro models, should fit like normal supes. But I dont have them so cant really say.
And them 86's fitting a whole size bigger dont sound right, they should fit normally, they werent nutin special.

I don't know why the 86s are about half a size bigger than normally (a bit like some of the 80s series) but they are. I know fakes can have whatever sizes but i didn't get them off any shady eBay seller but in a local official adidas retailer. All the pairs i tried in a few shops around were huge for me in UK10 so i went with 9.5 and they're fine. 9 was a bit too tight already.
Thanks to ez for finding a local shop having these pro model 86s in stock, i'll hopefully sort out the sizing issue tomorrow. We'll see.

I'm with Grimmy, those 86s did seem to fit a bit large. I tried a pair of UK 11s (my usual size) and found them to be too big for me.
Unfortunately the shop (an Originals Shop) didn't have them half a size smaller so I can't say if those would have fit me better.
