nah, $800.
my thorogood boot size is 8eeee, i wear 8.5eeee or 9ee in new balances, and i'm ordering a 9.5 in both of those. i wear a 9 in the authentics cause i'm usually wearing those barefoot. it seems vulcanized shoes especially vans are the only ones i can stretch out with my huge feet, that are usually wider than the shoes they go into. never gonna be able to find proper hockey skates, cycling shoes, soccer shoes. not for cheap anyway.
People used to swear that Janoski's stretched out like a half inch once broken in but I won't ever buy Nike because I hate what they've done with skateboarding.
I rock Adidas shoes that I can't remember the name but they look like the Ease but not a skate shoe, I can pick them up for twenty bucks a pair here at their outlet. Best skate shoe ever, remind me of the old Circa AL50 before Circa went downhill.
