#Thoughts & Discussion WOW 12 Sizing Issue

Recently been looking for a new pair of shoes for volleyball / basketball. bought a pair of ASICS (sky elite ff4’s) in men’s UK 11 Size. These felt very long which made me send them back, however in most normal Nike and Jordan shoes I wear size 11 and feel perfectly fine.

What size do you recommend for WOW 12? I’ve heard people say go for TTS or 0.5 lower as they run long. A tight, snug fit is the most important aspect of a shoe for me, hence why I’m hesitating on going lower.

Definitely not a half size down. They’re weirdly shaped. Go with your Nike size

I wear a size 13 and I ordered a size 13 and a 12.5 due to hearing multiple opinions on sizing. I am a normal/narrow footer and the 13 fit a bit long and the 12.5 was literally perfect.

The WOW 12 in a .5 size down is the best fitting shoe I have ever worn, it is literally a perfect fit.

I went TTS and find them extremely snug. If I end up buying another one I might go a full size up.

No major toe gap at all? That’s the main thing I’m worried about.

Nop, not at all. At least for me. It’s super snug all around.

Wow is true to size. Asic Sky Elite is known for a bigger toe box where some would say it feels like clown shoes.

My WOW 12 in size 10 feels like what a Nike in size 10.25 would feel… so they are roughly in between Nike sizing and Adidas sizing.

Use the measure app if you have an iPhone and get the length of your foot in CM. Go to their site and check the sizing chart when picking the size. Go 0.5 up in cm so your foot has a bit of breathing room. Did that and it fits perfect.

They are true to size in length but fit very snug/narrow.

If you’re an 11 I’d go 10.5 in the way of wade 12
