Perfect timing. Just picked these up to match my sport jackets and denim for the early spring. Size 10 1/2

Always preferred these to the Court Royales. 

The lines down the center rear of the Royales always kill the cleanliness of the look for me.

Never paired these with blazers, but now I will have to try.

I have a collection of Dunks, mostly in the neutral color palette. Almost all mids. 

Still looking for the all gray suedes. All of the monochrome issues seem to available in the UK, and those are my favs. I almost always have the get them imported.

Anyone here not a fan of the newest Air Jordans? They look like space boots to me. I can't get into them at all.

The classic Jordans had charm and looked stylish. The latest ones look something straight out of a 60s cartoon.

+1 on Blazers. I have a whole collection. 

I will admit to putting insoles in them. Nothing crazy.

The thing with Blazers is that they're flat. I can't stand the feeling of "flat" sneakers, so no Pumas for me for example.

Those basic insoles you get from eBay turns those sneakers into heaven on your feet.

Nike Zoom Invincibles are what you want. They aren't lookers by any stretch, and they're pricey, but they're the most cushioned pair of Nikes that I own and believe they make.

Finally caved in and bought a pair of Blazers for the look, but they are not comfortable. Thinking I need to pick up a 1/2 size larger. I read that you have to break them in, but they're breaking my feet!

You'd think being short would mean that the sizes we typically wear would be in stock.

I'm a size 10.5 and no matter where I look, in stores or online, those are the hardest ones to find, especially for Blazers.

They seem to always have 11 and up, or under a 9.
