That is just the Hender Scheme sizing.  I am a 6, and am a 10.5-11 US.


They changed it? I have some size 7 AF1's from last season and there's no sizing equivalent mentioned anywhere, just JP 7.

Wait I re-read my original post and realise that could be confusing. I mean am a size 7 in Hender but Browns is using Italian sizing. So I'm trying to figure out what a 7 would be since they have some versions in a 44 and some in a 44.5, which doesn't seem to translate to 6's and 7's.

Honestly I wouldn't even try gambling on Hender sizing. Fit is so unique and varies across the different shoes. I fit a 4 in the AF1 and 5 in the Jordans. I even compared the sole on the 4 AF1 and the 5 Jordan and they were the same haha.

Originally I was looking at the Vans. However, I was in-between sizes couldn't see myself wearing either of the two comfortably.

I guess YMMV, but I'm happy I took my time to try a couple on before settling w the Jordan ones.

Some Hender Schemes fit larger than others by a half size or more, frankly. I am USA 10.5 C on Brannock, but have long arches, so I often have to round up. If Hender Scheme made a JP 6.5, that might work for me in all their models. As it is, a JP 6 is too small for me in some Hender Schemes, but on the big side in others. Thus, I get JP 7 in any new model of HS.

Different retailers convert the Hender Scheme sizes rather differently. Most don't do a good job and don't convert differently for the different HS models.

I think Browns is doing a pretty good job of the size conversions to European metric sizing. I can't promise, but the 44.5 or 44 represent JP 7; the 43 or 43.5 represent JP 6.

I was thinking about witching to sonos. I'm currently using b&w a7 and a5's with airplay. The b&w's are great but airplay is so glitchy. Can anyone compare to sonos?

Yoox at 35% off only through the app. Some phenomenal deals to be had.


I'm using the Bang & Olufsen A6 with airplay, works great and sounds great.

can someone remind me of the deets (time and place) of the upcoming Sage de Cret sample sale? And what are the chances there will be bunny parkas there?
