    I always get confused by nike sizing. Ihave air force '07 they are UK10 They fit perfectly. I got alpha trainer 5 later they're UK9. I wanna buy these. Which size should I buy? They don't have initiators in nearby stores. What do you think I should buy what size

    • @OnTheWaveKicks

    • @OnTheWaveKicks
      @OnTheWaveKicks 8 днів тому

      The finish quality on the Nike Initiator is solid for its price point. The materials and construction feel durable, and I didn’t notice any major flaws in stitching or glue marks. It’s not a premium sneaker, but for a budget-friendly running shoe, it holds up well. If you’ve had concerns with Nike’s quality in the past, I’d say this one is on par with their mid-range offerings. Hope that helps!

    How's the fit and sizing? Is it wide foot friendly?

    • @OnTheWaveKicks
      @OnTheWaveKicks 19 днів тому

      Sizing I would say this fits true to size, this shoe isn’t necessarily fit for wide footers, I would say a standard foot would fit fine. But I would try them on in store if possible. You could also order your size and a half size up as well and return just to be sure. Hope that helps!

      @OnTheWaveKicks 21 день тому

      All shoes will deteriorate over time, but I would say since these are pre-aged you would want to be more careful with them for sure. But just as any shoe, if you take care of them then they should last you a long time. Hope this helped!

      @OnTheWaveKicks 3 дні тому

      @ I think the stance socks are very thin actually, bombas do have some thickness if you want the no show look. But I think the socks of the bunch I go to for everyday are actually the Gold Toe socks but I like the crew sock look. The socks from target, the good fellow socks are thin as well, so you definitely can’t go wrong, I think it just depends on your price point

      @OnTheWaveKicks 2 місяці тому

      I say stick to your true to size, you don’t want room or it will be sliding in the back. I usually wear 9.5 for casual shoes but went to a 9 and didn’t have issues. I personally returned and reordered to get the right size, you could order both sizes and return to Nike if you are still worried about sizing.
