Shoe sizes - Asics, New Balance

Mark \(MSA\) said:

Does anyone have any idea if the above 2 manufacturers shoes are
comparable in size? I'm very happy wearing size 11US Asics, but want
to buy some NB's I've seen online. In general, do they come up the
same, smaller, larger?

TIA

Go try them on you dikhead.

I don't recall about larger or smaller, but every NB I've tried fits
quite *differently* from every Asics. In my case every (1) Asics size
8.5 fits my tootsies perfectly, and no NB running shoe has fit me well
enough to consider purchasing. Sloppy fit in the heel, for me.

I'm with the creep on this one: go try 'em at a real brick and mortar
store - a specifically running store greatly preferred - and if you
like them, buy them there. Otherwise if you do this mail order, be
prepared to ship 'em back - whether it's the sizing or just something
else which makes these shoes less than ideal for you.

Pendejo, hoping that Usenet posting isn't burning all my precious
glycogen

(1) except their cross country shoe, forget the name, which fit much
much smaller and I had to return them to Eastbay; but you don't mean
those

Fair comment, guess I was trying to cut corners. I'll get down my
local and see what's what. Thanks for the reply.
