    I wanted to buy some adio skate shoes online but I was worried about the size. Do skate shoes sizes run low, high, or are they the same as Basketball shoes? In Bball shoes I wear a size 12 also for casual adidas shoes. So can anypone tell me? Thnx in advance.

every brand fits a bit different, shoe shopping is something that should not be done online, go to a skate shop!

Everyone I know that dosen't skate wear Adios, and that's usually because of Viva La Bam, or the popular Element brand, which imo is crap. I've been skating for a while now, and I just wear some regular VANS. They work fine. You don't need an expensive brand to improve skate performance.

As said, shoe shopping should be done in store so you can try the shoes on.

All skate shoes fit different. DC, Adio, and eS tend to fit kinda wide wheras Emerica and Vans tend to be more narrow. If you're actually going to be using the shoes for skating, then Adio really isn't your best bet. If you want durable shoes with good board feel, get eS Accels or Rowley Clasics. I've gone through several pairs of both and, trust me, they board feel is second to none. They're the best shoes I've skated.

i've been wearing Vans for years now. I don't really skate anymore, or atleast as much as I used to, but I still wear Vans because they're so comfortable and they're pretty casual too. Other skate shoes like Osiris and Adio are way too fat and bulky.

Mine are brown, but I want a new pair. Brown doesn't seem to match many of my clothes too well. :P
