Do you recommend TTS or sizing up when getting shoes with upturned toes?
I just got my first pair of Layer-0 derbies which have a very aggressive upturned shape, and they are in size 43. the fitting is perfect for me, except probably the length which is a little bit too long but it doesn't affect at all the wearability as the whole rest of the shoe fits perfect and doesn't move (movement=blisters). I was fearing a little bit they were gonna be too big for me bc the outsole measurement was a little long, so this is a pleasant surprise.
my advice is to always ask for real measurements when buying (particularly when buying second-hand in classified), and start having an idea of the sizes.
Otherwise, I would consider upturned shaped shoes as any other. It is probable the toe box will lower with time, as the shoe breaks in and takes the shape of your foot (if not totally at least a little). I don't' think vibraming affects at all the shape.
So my advice: always choose your correct size based on measurements.
The outsole measurement is a good indicator, but not necessarily the most reliable one. For me the best one is the actual length of the foot. I measure my own foot, and ask the seller to measure his own foot so I can compare. (of course I do all this shit bc I live in a place where there are absolutely no shops where I can go and try the shoes on).
I have come to think "TTS" doesn't really mean anything bc sizings are so erratic…
My foot is between 27 and 27,5 cm long; all my shoes have outsoles measuring around 30,5 cm long (between 30 and 31). I have a pair of Ann Dem boots in sz 42 with oustole measuring 31,5 and they are too big, I have to use them with insoles. My L-0 derbies in sz 43 are also 31,5, and they fit spot-on.
Hope that helps! good luck ;)

Hi there
I have a question about the Geobasket sizing… I'm planning to buy a pair but (long story short) I live in a country where I'm not gonna have them shipped (will have them shipped to a friend in France) so I can't return them if the sizing is not ok, so I need to be as sure as possible about the sizing.
I think mi size is 42…. but my experience in RO footwear is limited… I have a pair of Ramones bought off SuFu in size 42 and the fit is ok. I think they are mainline cause it has the RO signature on the sole and not the Drkshdw, even if there are 8 eyelets and not 7… which contradicts what has been posted in the small questions thread recently…(?)
should I buy my Geos in sz 42 with confidence?
My foot is between 27 - 27,5 cm long; and generally the outsole of my footwear is around 30 - 30,5 cm (but depending on the shoe or boot I can go up to 31,5 cm.)
Any help will be kindly appreciated !!!

More or less. His sizing is English, so add a size automatically, plus they fit on the loose side.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde
