Anyone know how these fit compared to a Nike Dunk? I take a UK9 in a Dunk and an SB Dunk and am unsure whether I need a US10 or US11 in the MJ Vans (not even sure what the UK sizing is in a US10 or 11 Vans!), anyone know? Thanks in advance.

already a thread on these.

You would need a UK9 which is as US10, they run slightly large but if you are a UK9 in a dunk then you will be fine.

No worries, have them myself but they only had a UK10 and could of done with a smaller size.

Where you buying them from?

Cheers.

Just bought them from ebay, coming from the US for $79.99 and $28.00 shipping. I assume there are no snides of these around, the seller has 100% and has built this up over a long time, their username is undefeated_auction . Look OK to you?
Thanks again for the help.

I paid just under £40 all inc for mine, jack on this site showed me where to get them.

I have been looking for a while now and decided I needed to secure a pair for summer, there was a UK site that had these for £30 or something but only have UK7 and 8 left. I could not find them anywhere else here, probably did not look that hard! Where was the site with them for £40 incidentally?

Yeah it sounds like the same one that I bought them from. I bought the last uk10.

Came to like £37 in total if I recall.

It was Ruben that posted the link.

I haven't worn mine yet; I tried them on and they were crazy uncomfortable.

Yeah, mine were rubbing on my toe.
